The Rivanna Pump Station is a booster station operated by the Rivanna Water and Sewer Authority that supplies the Moores Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant with untreated sewage via a 2,600 long 36-inch diameter force main. The station was built between 1979 and 1981, and currently has a capacity of 24.5 million gallons a day. The RWSA will plan to expand the station's capacity to 53 mgd as part of a collaborative effort with the City of Charlottesville and Albemarle County to reduce the amount of stormwater that infiltrates the regional sewer system[1].
The pump is located at the corner of Chesapeake Avenue and Riverside Avenue in Charlottesville's Woolen Mills neighborhood.
