Burton Station is getting water, sewer lines
The whir of a generator, clank of an excavator's claw and cascading of gravel were more than just construction noise to the residents of Burton Station on Friday. They were the sounds of a long-awaited promise finally being fulfilled.
The city broke ground last month on a $1 million project to bring water and sewer lines to the small neighborhood in the northwest corner of Virginia Beach. Burton Station's residents have been waiting decades, getting by on septic tanks and well water.
