• Fairfax Water looks to replace Seven Corners water tank with bigger model (ffxnow.com) — Residents around the Seven Corners Apartments could soon see their 75-year-old neighborhood water tank replaced with a much larger, 1-million-gallon model to boost storage, fire protection, and emergency resiliency. Fairfax Water’s proposal would relocate the tank closer to Upton Hill Regional Park, demolish the old structure, and reconfigure the complex’s playground and pedestrian access if county approvals go through.
