Please Conserve Water

From the City of Charlottesville’s “news flash” on 9/12/23:

The Rivanna Water and Sewer Authority (RWSA), Albemarle County Service Authority, and City of Charlottesville Utilities Department report that they are prepared to meet the community’s public drinking water needs, despite below normal rainfall. However, water conservation is encouraged for public water and private well users as drought-like conditions are occurring throughout central Virginia.
