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.

You can read the full press release on the City of Charlottesville’s website.

This is the third annual iteration of the Mobility Summit, and will be facilitated by Dr. Selena Cozart. It is free and anyone can attend as long as they bring a willingness to work, with great ideas. Like previous years, it will celebrate recent successes in the community and be an opportunity to advance several collaborative projects that no individual or group can accomplish alone.
