Update 11/24/19:
Following the Washington Gas Community meeting in Oct '18 PHCA discussed the proposed route at a monthly meeting and the community and association at large determined opposition to the proposed route through Pimmit Hills and instead favors a route along Magarity Rd and Rt 7. PHCA created a Washington Gas Committee to oppose the proposed route. Currently, Washington Gas has been granted the necessary permits from VDOT to install the pipeline through Pimmit Hills with construction planned to start in Spring 2020.
Recently VDOT has granted Washington Gas a permit to install a pipeline through Pimmit HIlls despite our objection. Please sign our Pimmit Hills Pipeline Petition to show your support.
Also, we will host an information meeting Mon, Dec 9th from 6-7pm at the Tysons-Pimmit Library.
The following timeline chronicles the events predating the permit issuance:

Update 10/13/18:
Washington Gas would like to change the pipeline path through Pimmit Hills from the Pimmit Hills Center to the existing regulator near Rt 7 / Pimmit via Peabody, Fisher, Cherri, Leonard, Cherri, Griffith and Pimmit. They are also studying a route which would be west on Magarity and south on Rt 7. Washington Gas held an information meeting with the community on October 3rd. Please refer to Washington Gas' website on the project for general project information, FAQ's, and the presentation from October 3rd.
