A comprehensive program for reconstructing the aging portions of the Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission's distribution system consists primarily of cleaning mains and lining them with mortar. This article describes how specific projects are selected, how the work is planned and managed, and how water service is maintained with the least amount of inconvenience to the public during the reconstruction process.
