The Rivanna Water and Sewer Authority (RWSA) is an independent public agency that collects, treats, stores and distributes water and transports and treats waste water for residents of Albemarle County and Charlottesville. The RWSA is a wholesale agency with only two customers: the Charlottesville Water and Sewer Division and the Albemarle County Service Authority, agencies that serve individual retail customers. Funding for operations is paid for entirely by ratepayers[1], though local and state funding is part of the RWSA's Capital Improvement Program.

The authority's headquarters are located at 695 Moores Creek Lane and the main phone number is (434) 977-2970.

Leadership

Tom Frederick is the current Executive Director of the RWSA. His actions are supervised by a five-member Board of Directors, who generally meet on the last Monday of each month. These five members consist of the Charlottesville City Manager, the Albemarle County Executive, Charlottesville's Public Works Director, and the Executive Director of the Albemarle County Service Authority, as well as a fifth person appointed with the joint consent of the City Council and the Board of Supervisors. That position is currently up for reappointment[2]
