Our Water. Our Future.

Our Water Our Future: A six-part publication by Charlottesville Tomorrow
being published this July-September 2009

Charlottesville Tomorrow is sharing a six-part publication on the state of our local water supply. Our goal is to provide factual and objective information about our water supply goals, about the details of the 50-year water plan, the costs, the environmental advantages and disadvantages, potential alternatives, and to outline the next steps that will move our community forward.

On this website and in the articles linked at cvillepedia.org, you can add your own insights to this analysis.  We welcome your feedback (add comments below), but as is the policy on our news site, anonymous comments are not allowed.

Our water supply was the most important topic during my campaign for the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors.
I thank Charlottesville Tomorrow for addressing this critical issue.

Mr. King,
As part of the Crozet street water run-off project has any thought been given to the potential, or already happening, water pollution (anti-freeze, oil, gasoline, battery acid, paint, rust)from the MANY junk vehicles behind the Community Garage in Crozet going back several years. Does being a "HISTORICAL" building exempt the owner from pollution control?? It appears the state of VA plans prefers widening Jarmans Gap road on the opposite side of the road. Is there a hands off policy of the property from the County and thr State of VA??

At some point, we must get the cart behind the horse to make a really effective plan. The cart is population growth. The horse is available water supply. There seems to be an unquestioned assumption that we will have to find water for whatever growth occurs. This is not sustainable. Available water must dictate the limits of growth.
