  • With Increasing Economic Pressures and Public Health Concerns, and Fueled by the Crohurst Report, the Virginia Assembly Created the Hampton Roads Sewage Disposal Commission
    Visionary citizens of the region, on November 5, 1940, passed the referendum that established the Hampton Roads Sanitation District, a political subdivision of the Commonwealth of Virginia. As it prepares to commemorate the 75th anniversary of its creation, HRSD is paying tribute to those with the courage to vote to eliminate sewage pollution in the tidal waters of the Chesapeake Bay by publishing the story of their legacy. We hope that by understanding HRSD’s contributions to the health of area waterways and the economy of Coastal Virginia, those we serve will appreciate their role in “Living the Legacy.” F e b r u a r y 2 015 Contents: 3 Oysters Provide the Clue The First Referendum (Coming soon) The Second Referendum (Coming soon) The 1940s (To be posted the week of March 29) The 1950s (To be posted the week of May 24) The 1960s (To be posted the week of June 21) The 1970s (To be posted the week of July 19) The 1980s (To be posted the week of August 16) The 1990s (To be posted the week of September 13) The 2000s (To be posted the week of October 11) The 2010s (To be posted the week of November 5) G r a p h i c D e s i G n : b a r t M o r r i s OyProvidesters the Clue Water is a way of life in Hampton Roads; it is the one thing that both unifies and divides us as a region.
