Directors of Utilities Committee

Overview

The Directors of Utilities Committee addresses technical and administrative issues associated with the planning and operation of the region's water supply and wastewater systems, as well as a broad range of other water resource management issues.

Semiannually, the committee meets jointly with the local Directors of Health and the Virginia Department of Health to discuss issues of mutual concern associated with drinking water and other water quality issues.

The Committee nominates members of their staffs to participate in project-specific subcommittees as needed. The subcommittees vet details of the data collection, analysis, and project objectives.  Subcommittee focus areas include Fats, Oils & Grease Education, Water Awareness, and the Lead and Copper Rules Workgroup.

Members

The Committee includes the Director of Utilities or a senior representative from the member jurisdictions, the Towns of Smithfield and Windsor, the Hampton Roads Sanitation District (HRSD), and the HRPDC.
