The Appomattox River Water Authority was formed in the 1960s to own/operate a regional water supply and sell drinking water to the cities of Colonial Heights and Petersburg as well as Chesterfield, Dinwiddie and Prince George counties. The information below is updated frequently to communicate current information on Chesdin Reservoir and its environment.

ARWA Reservoir Levels
Yesterday afternoon Dominion Virginia Power asked the hydro-electric facility to shut down while they began work replacing three storm-damaged power poles along Chesdin Road. When they tried to restart last night they were not successful and had to wait to make repairs this morning. Similar starts and stops of the hydro-electric facility for equipment issues is why the graph below of the downstream river flows for the last seven days has such large fluctuations in flow.
