ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF DISCLAIMER
Welcome. HRSD designed this website to provide information relating specifically to certain HRSD bonds.
HRSD’s main mission is to protect public health and the waters of Hampton Roads by treating wastewater effectively. As a political subdivision of the Commonwealth of Virginia, HRSD was created in 1940 by a public referendum to eliminate sewage pollution in the tidal waters of the Chesapeake Bay. Today, HRSD serves about 1.8 million people in 20 counties and cities in the Commonwealth of Virginia. HRSD issues bonds primarily to finance or refinance the construction of wastewater treatment facilities and the installation of interceptors throughout its service area.
Taking water out of the ground at the current rate has led to sinking of land, or land subsidence, in some parts of eastern Virginia. This makes us more vulnerable to rising sea levels and the associated impacts.
Replenishing the aquifer with HRSD’s SWIFT Water® can help slow or even reverse the sinking of land due to withdrawal. Scientists believe that overuse of the aquifer causes about 25 percent of the sinking of land in parts of eastern Virginia.
Replenishing our overdrawn aquifer can improve the environment and help our communities adapt to rising seas, contributing to the resiliency of our region.
Restoring the health and productivity of the Chesapeake Bay largely depends on reducing the amount of nutrients and sediment that enter Chesapeake Bay waters.
After completion of the first phase of full-scale SWIFT implementation in spring 2029, HRSD will achieve approximately 45% of the nutrient reductions needed for the James River as part of Virginia’s Watershed Implementation Plan 3 (WIP3), reducing the total amount of nutrients, such as phosphorus and nitrogen reaching receiving streams, and ultimately, the Chesapeake Bay.
