Studies related to the Charlottesville-Albemarle Community Water Supply Plan, including summary recommendations.
RWSA-sponsored studies
The Rivanna Water & Sewer Authority sponsored numerous studies related to the 2006 Community Water Supply Plan.
- Water Demand Analysis, Vanasse Hangen Brustlin and O'Brien & Gere Engineers, Inc., October 1997
- Recommends planning for water supply demand in 2050 to be between 18-21 millions of gallons per day (MGD)[study 1].
- Feasibility Study for Upgrading the Ragged Mountain Dam, Gannett Fleming, February 2003
- Includes engineering investigations related to design adequacy of Lower Ragged Mountain Dam with upgrade alternatives[ref 1].
- South Fork Rivanna Reservoir and Watershed: Reflecting on 36 years, Anticipating 50 years, Stephen P. Bowler, Watershed Manager, Albemarle County, Spring 2003.[1].
- Safe Yield Study, Gannett Fleming, January 2004
- Documents a safe yield of 13.3 MGD (revised downward in July 2004 report)[study 2].
- Demand Analysis for the Urban Service Area, Gannett Fleming, May 2004
- Recommends planning for water supply demand in 2055 to be 18.7 MGD with 5% conservation measures.
- Water Supply Alternatives Supplemental Evaluation, Gannett Fleming, July 2004
- Documents the downward adjustment of current safe yield from 13.3 MGD to 12.8 MGD (2002).
- Projects the safe yield in 2055 to be 8.8 MGD.
- Identifies the goal of finding 9.9 MGD in new water supply (18.7 MGD - 8.8 MGD = 9.9 MGD).
- Community Water Supply Project, Gannett Fleming & Vanasse Hangen Brustlin, June 30, 2006
- Ragged Mountain Dam, Independent Technical Review Team Report, June 2, 2009
- Addresses variance in engineering plans and cost estimates for the new Ragged Mountain Dam.
Independent studies
- Gahagan & Bryant dredging assessment, May 2008[citation needed].
