This is your opportunity to hear the facts and learn more about how intensive development of the Occoquan Reservoir watershed will negatively affect the reservoir and all that rely on the reservoir for drinking water and recreation.

Reclaiming Our Water tells the story of Northern Virginia's Occoquan Reservoir, its surrounding landscape, and the challenges of meeting a growing demand for drinking water for over one million people.
The Occoquan has the distinction of being the largest reservoir system in the United States, which provides a safe drinking water supply through the use of reclaimed wastewater. Not surprisingly, the Occoquan's technical solutions have attracted worldwide attention, but technical solutions are only part of the story.
