Fixing our Water Plan
July 15, 2010
“We ask you attend the City Council meeting on August 2, 7pm to have a strong show of support for dredging and ask the neighborhood associations that signed the original resolution [North Downtown signed the original resolution] to attend as well and reconfirm their support for dredging now that we know it is the least environmentally damaging and most affordable option.
The RWSA wants to push the dam/pipeline plan forward this summer and we need to let our decision makers know that sustaining our available reservoirs by dredging should be the first step in a water plan.”
A recent study of dredging the Rivanna Reservoir has added new and vital information. A new water supply demand analysis is due soon.
Although, we now have or are expecting new relevant information, we have little information on some key issues in the adopted plan, that is, the condition
of the existing pipline from Sugar Hollow Reservoir to Ragged Mountain Reservoir and the route and cost of the proposed pipeline between the
Rivanna Reservoir and Ragged Mountain Reservoir.
Many expect local decision-makers to decide this Fall whether to proceed with implementation of the “Water Plan.” This is an important time for citizens to convey to local elected officials their thoughts on the water plan.
