Organizational Structure

The Bedford County Board of Supervisors, elected by the citizens of Bedford County, appoints the seven member Board of Directors for the Bedford County PSA; each board member represents a voting district of the County.  There are three standing committees comprised of two board members each; they include water and sewer, finance, and personnel.

The PSA board hires the Executive Director, who is responsible for managing the Authority.  The Authority is composed of Managers and Staff specializing in Administration, Customer Service, Engineering, Finance, Information Systems, Maintenance, and Operations.

The Bedford County PSA provides water service to over 8,400 customers as follows:

• Forest / Boonsboro / New London - We purchase water from the City of Lynchburg.

• Stewartsville - We purchase water from the Western Virginia Water Authority.

• Smith Mountain Lake - We produce most of the water at the High Point Water Treatment Plant, which uses the lake as the source.  In addition, we operate two well systems near the dam.

• Central - We operate one well system for a subdivision that is just outside the Bedford City limits.

The PSA also provides sewer service to over 1,400 customers as follows:

• Forest / Boonsboro / New London - We own capacity in the Lynchburg Regional Wastewater Plant, where the sewage is transmitted for treatment.

• Montvale - We own and operate a 50,000 gallon per day wastewater treatment plant.

• Moneta - We own and operate a 500,000 gallon per day wastewater treatment plant.

The PSA's operating expenses are funded through the revenues derived from water and sewer usage fees and charges.

We receive regular capital assistance from Bedford County for debt support related to two Virginia Resource Authority loans.  The PSA also receives capital contributions through project dedications from developers.

For the fiscal year 2010 to 2011, our operating budget was adopted with total revenues being projected at $7,416,052 and total expenditures being projected at $7,391,281 (not including depreciation).

The PSA Board of Directors hold a public meeting on the third Tuesday of every month.  The meeting takes place in the Board meeting room at the PSA's office located on Falling Creek Road.  The meetings start at 7:00 pm.
