Fluvanna schedules Sept. 16 hearing on bulk-water (hydrant meter) rules
Summary
The Board voted to advertise a Sept. 16 public hearing to amend County Code §21-2-13 and the water and sewer fee schedule, formalizing permitting, meter allocations, rates, deposits, and weekly limits for hydrant-meter bulk-water sales.
County Attorney Dan Whitten outlined proposed amendments to County Code §21-2-13 and the Water and Sewer Fee Schedule to clarify the sale of bulk water via hydrant meters. Key proposed rules presented include requiring a separate meter for each truck, limiting companies to three meters, capping issued meters for tankers by capacity, a combined 50,000‑gallon weekly limit for companies operating 2,000‑gallon tankers, and a requirement for companies to provide a daily estimate of usage.
The Board voted 4-0 to advertise a public hearing on Sept. 16, 2026, to consider the amendments. The motion to advertise was recorded in the minutes; further public comment and testimony will be taken at the scheduled hearing before any ordinance changes are adopted.
