Albemarle County Service Authority
The Albemarle County Service Authority (ACSA) was created by the Board of Supervisors in 1964 to provide public water and sewer service to designated portions of the county.
ACSA purchases water and wastewater treatment services from Rivanna Water and Sewer Authority, which operates the water and wastewater treatment plants, reservoirs and transmission and interceptor lines serving both ACSA and City customers.
Service area
ACSA serves over 15,500 customers in the urban ring of the County surrounding the Charlottesville, the Town of Scottsville, and the villages of Crozet, Hollymead and Rivanna.
The ACSA serves an estimated 61,730 customers in Albemarle County.[1]
Leadership
ACSA is governed by a six-member Board of Directors, appointed by the Board of Supervisors. The directors appoint an Executive Director to execute the policies and procedures set by the Board. Gary Fern is the current director of the Authority.
Board of Directors
Board members serve four-year terms. The current board members are:
- Donald J. Wagner, Chairman, Rio District, Member since August 1984

- Richard Carter, Jack Jouett District, Member since January 2009
- John Martin, White Hall District, Member since April 2008
- Lizbeth Palmer, Samuel Miller District, Member since April 2006
- Clarence Roberts, Rivanna District, Member since May 2004

2009 connection fee increases
In August 2009 water and sewer connection fees (termed "system development fees") were $1,037 and $1,532, respectively. At their August 20 2009 meeting the board voted 5-1, with Martin in dissent, to raise fees for water and sewer connections an average of 13% effective September 1, 2009, with a further increase effective on March 1, 2010.[2].
