The Authority completed construction of the reservoir, treatment plant, and pipelines in late 1967 and began delivering water to the customers in January 1968. The original treatment plant had a rated capacity of 22 million gallons per day (MGD) and two expansions have increased the capacity first to 46 MGD in the early 1980s and then to 96 MGD in 2007.
The authority participates in the Partnership For Safe Water program which is sponsored by the American Water Works Association, Association of Metropolitan Water Agencies, Association of State Drinking Water Administrators, United States Environmental Protection Agency, National Association of Water Companies, and the Water Research Foundation.
The drinking water quality standards for participation in this program are stricter than the regular standards of either the EPA or the Virginia Department of Health. ARWA is one of only two water plants in Virginia that has received the Directors Award for compliance with these standards for ten or more consecutive years.
