Raspberry Falls

Water is supplied to Raspberry Falls by two community wells, and wastewater is collected and treated to a high degree at the wastewater treatment plant (WWTP). Most organic material and nutrients are removed through biological treatment before being disinfected and discharged to an unnamed tributary of Limestone Branch.

Raspberry Falls Customer Information Meeting, May 21, 2008 

A Wellhead Protection Program was developed in 2004 by a citizen advisory group, which comprised citizens from all of Loudoun Water's Community Systems. The Plan had several recommendations for protecting the source for the wells in each community. Many of the recommendations were centered upon keeping the community informed of issues affecting their well quality. Loudoun Water followed these recommendations by annually sending the Community a Wellhead Protection brochure and a Wise Water Landscape Guide; plus, Loudoun Water periodically mails information to all residents about water conservation.
