The Rivanna Water and Sewer Authority (RWSA) has declared a drought watch for Charlottesville and Albemarle County. This status is due to declining stream and reservoir levels in the region. Residents are encouraged to follow voluntary water conservation measures, such as limiting lawn watering between 9 p.m. and 10 a.m.

The drought watch is triggered when the usable storage at the South Fork Rivanna Reservoir drops below 90.2%. Should conditions worsen, the RWSA warns that mandatory conservation measures will be required, including restrictions on car washing and limited restaurant water service.
