RE: Request for Extension of Public Utilities to Oak Hill Subdivision
Last month, the Board of Supervisors received a request and petition
from residents of the Oak Hill Subdivision for extension of public water
and sewer to the subdivision because of health and safety concerns with
current provisions. At the Board's request, staff has further
researched this matter and can provide the following:
1) The Oak Hill Subdivision is currently served by a privately
owned public water system (Oak Hill Water Company) and private
septic systems.
2) Although the water tends to be corrosive, the Virginia
Department of Health's Office of Water Programs indicates the
water meets all state and federal criteria for quality. (See
Attachment A)

8) Extension of public sewer to Oak Hill is currently listed in
the Albemarle County Service Authority 1989-1994 Capital
Improvement as a project beyond July 1, 1994. (See Attachment
B) The estimated 1989 cost of the project was $709,000 which
would include extension of the Biscuit Run interceptor and
subdivision collection lines. This cost cannot be recovered
from Oak Hill Subdivision under the current hook-up charge of
@ $3000 per house. Extension of the Biscuit Run interceptor
further south for other projects should they arise may make
the Oak Hill Subdivision cost more feasible.
9) Albemarle County Service Authority will be updating its CIP at
the first of 1991. Any consideration of further projects by
ACSA will occur at that time.
Please let me know if further staff research is necessary.

Dear Mr. Brent:
Several months ago I talked with you concerning the possibility
of a sewer-water project for Oakhill Subdivision. At that time you
informed me nothing in the near future was scheduled for this area;
however, I believe the problem has escalated, and request that this
matter be given priority consideration.
My property recently experienced a major breakdown in its
distribution boxes. This problem has been taken care of, however, most
likely will occur again as some strong substance in the water is
apparently causing the concrete to deteriorate to a powdery consistency.
I feel sure the water adheres to the state's acceptable bacteria level;
however, I would like to know if there are standards for other contents?
At least twice a year all faucet and water closet parts are so
corroded they have to be replaced. This is unusually often. On a
number of times my tenants have experienced not only a complete lack of
water, but discolored and distasteful water as well.
In a previous letter to you I noted improvements and additions
some property owners wanted to make but could not due to drainfield
requirements. Extended sewer and water facilities have by-passed this
quiet, well maintained neighborhood of caring people, for newer and
larger developments beyond and behind them. I feel they deserve careful
consideration in having this project made available to them, and your
assistance and attention would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Barbara B. Martin

Dear Mrs. Martin:
After I received your recent letter I contacted the State
agency which monitors public water systems to see what prob-
lems were being experienced with the Oak Hill water system.
Mr. Jim Moore of the Office of Water Programs informed me that
his office has not received any complaints about water quality
in Oak Hill. He says the water has met all state and federal
criteria for quality. It is noted that the water has a
tendency to be corrosive to some materials found in a typical
water distribution system.
Concerning the extension of sanitary sewer and public
water into this neighborhood, I am sure you are aware that Mr.
Seltzer is presently circulating a petition to seek support
for such a project. For this project to advance in the
Service Authority' s capital improvement program a need and
substantial interest must be demonstrated. The Board of
Directors will be reviewing the capital budget in December or
January. I would urge you to be prepared to gather all the
support you can since there are quite a few other projects
also competing for the same funds. I will let you know the
date of the public hearing. -
Please give me a call if you have any questions. If you
would like more information from the Health Department you
should contact Mr. Jim Moore, Virginia Department of Health,
P. O. Box 915, Lexington, VA 24450, telephone (703) 463-7136 .

ChLjrlottesville, Va. 22906-7546 ,
De r Mr. Collins, . . - .
As a property owner in Oak Hill Subdivision, I would like to cal].
yo4r attention to the growing need ror county water and sewer
seivices in this area. Oak Hill subdivision is located just south
of I-64, on the east side of Stagecoach Road. , j
The age of properties in this area ate approaching 25 to 30 years. •
Mary of the septic systems have reitched the end of their useful
life. ': In some cases there is 'no option for replacing the septic
system with one of adequate size. Health issues associated with
thel quality of the Oak Hill water system and leaking septic fields
. are of concern.
.
OA Hill water system is overloaded. Some owners have been forced
to drill wells on properties that seem a bit too small to
as ommodate septic as well. When they experience well problems,
they have no option but to drill another well since. further hookups
tO the Oak Hill water system are no longer allowed:
It seems incredible to me that it is possible for water and sewer
to be available to areas surrounding Oak Hill, such as Country
Green and Mill creek, but not even considered for an existing and
aging area like Oak Hill. We in Oak Hill have certainly been the
victims of county short sightedness.
j
Why, does the county allow areas that are under Service Authority '
jurisdiction and being considered. for new development to be
improved with water and sewer before those areas that are already
devleloped and have been demonstrating a need for years??
I am asking that your staff study'the needs of Oak Hill and forward
yolt recommendations to the Board of. Supervisors. In turn, I hope
the a project for Oak Hill can be accelerated and placed in much
higher priority at the 'Service 'Authority. ,

13 Oak Hill Sewer System
I Extension of the biscuit Run Interceptor has opened
availability of sewering the Odk Hill area. Presently, there is
a request on hand to serve two lots. As need and local desire
grow, a system to serve e,ii;ting development will be needed. The
