Organization and Problems of the Fairfax County Water Authority
This article discusses the Fairfax County (Virginia) Water Authority's approach to the problem of providing water for its expanding suburban areas. The article discusses the three sources of water that serve the northern Virginia area, the creation of the Fairfax County Water Authority in 1957, the acquisition of the Annandale system, the authority's commitment to supply water to Dulles International Airport, and the acquisition of the Alexandria system. The article presents three features that distinguish the authority from municipal/public ownership that include the following: the authority is a single‐purpose, businesslike organization that can consider both day‐to‐day and long‐range problems and may gear itself to find solutions as the circumstances warrant; the authority possesses more liberal contractual powers, which are of particular value in the development of joint‐use programs; and, the authority can arrange its financing without express approval by a referendum.
