Charlottesville city councilors on Tuesday demanded that local water officials study the cost and feasibility of dredging the South Fork Rivanna Reservoir.

When a task force finalized its blueprint for the future of the South Fork Rivanna Reservoir this week, it punted controversial decisions about dredging back to local officials.

After five months of work, a task force designed to map the future of the South Fork Rivanna Reservoir finished its report, Monday.

After meeting for months, a task force charged with charting the future of the South Fork Rivanna Reservoir has again postponed making its recommendations.

Nearly two weeks past deadline, a task force charged with mapping out the future of the South Fork Rivanna Reservoir was still scrambling late Monday to put together its final report, placing today’s planned approval of the document in peril.

After spending months examining the pros and cons of dredging the South Fork Rivanna Reservoir, a task force is still split over whether it should recommend officials conduct a dredging feasibility study.

Several local residents on Monday questioned the purpose of the South Fork Reservoir Task Force, with some suggesting the panel is failing to consider all the options available to meet the area’s long-term water-supply needs.
