33rd Annual Virginia Water and Wastewater Rate Report 2021

Since 1989, Draper Aden Associates has prepared and distributed an annual Virginia Water and Wastewater Rate Report. This report asks municipalities to provide information concerning monthly residential water bills as well as all wastewater-related charges included on their customers’ bills. Experts at DAA analyze the data and compare it to former years in order to track fluctuations in water and wastewater use and rates in Virginia.

  • You can download a copy of the report here >
  • “ARPA Q&A for utilities” (November 2021) available here >.

 

Reports examines bicycle-pedestrian planning in Virginia

Planners and other local officials in Virginia appreciate the contribution that walkable and bikable streets make to a community’s quality of life.  They now have a handy new tool to help them convince everyone else. A new report — Local Planning and Promotion of Bicycle and Pedestrian Accommodation: A Review and Analysis of Virginia Local Government Efforts — argues that adopting bicycle and pedestrian plans is the best way to promote biking and walking.  The report was written by John Bolecek, a recent graduate of the University of Virginia’s Department of Urban and Environmental Planning.  He works for the U.S. Department of Transportation as a transportation safety analyst and is a certified instructor for the National Safe Routes to Schools course. Download report (PDF)
