Fairfax County relies on the newly named Water Resources Infrastructure to safely manage stormwater, wastewater, and our urban forest. Their programs protect and restore our vital natural resources, serve the community, and safeguard the environment and public health. Their new facility (opening in 2026) will house them all under one roof.
