The Sugar Hollow Pipeline flows from the Sugar Hollow Reservoir, and flows to the Ragged Mountain Reservoir or the Observatory Hill Water Treatment Plant.

Constructed in 1925, the pipeline comprises an 18-inch gravity-fed transmission main approximately 13 miles in length.

Water from the Sugar Hollow Reservoir that is not used by the pipeline can be released to the Moormans River by flow over the spillway, or as a voluntary release through an orifice on the 18-inch Ragged Mountain Reservoir pipeline located just below the Sugar Hollow Dam.

Considered as one interconnected system, raw water from both the Sugar Hollow and the Ragged Mountain reservoirs is treated at the Observatory plant^[1].

Community Water Supply Plan

Under the RWSA's preferred alternative for the 2005-2055 Community Water Supply Plan, the Sugar Hollow Pipeline would be retired^{[citation needed]}.
