The Engineering Department oversees the design and construction
of public water and sewer lines in Albemarle County. Work begins
in the site plan process where staff participates in the County’s
Plan Review Committee. As a development project works its way
through the approval process, staff works closely with project
engineers to insure the utility design meets the Authority’s
standards. The department maintains extensive local mapping
and data files to assist in the design of the public lines.
Once construction begins, staff will provide utility inspection
services to insure the system complies with the Authority’s
General
Water & Sewer Specifications.
In addition to new development, the Department is available
on an individual basis to assist homeowners looking for water
and sewer services. Questions regarding availability of public
water and/or sewer should be directed to this department between
the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday.
The Engineering Department can be reached by calling 434.977.4511.
