Swift Creek Reservoir

The Swift Creek Reservoir is a 1,700 acres (690 ha), 5,200,000,000 US gallons (2.0×1010 L; 4.3×109 imp gal), man made lake in Chesterfield County, Virginia.

The Swift Creek Reservoir was built in 1965 to be a public water supply for surrounding communities.

In 2000 the Watershed Management Master Plan was started to reach former goals such as stormwater treatment facilities and reduction of all pollutants.

In more recent years projects have been undertaken to improve the infrastructure on and around the reservoir including repairing and replacing multiple bridges.

There are two major developments that are built on the waterfront of the reservoir, Brandermill and Woodlake, and many other small neighborhoods.
