PEACOCK HILL COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION
JUSTIFICATION FOR REQUEST
JULY 1, 1999
Individuals and even communities as large as Peacock Hill cannot move into the new
millennium by themselves. Albemarle County Supervisors are tasked with the
responsibility to begin the planning for water needs for all the County for the year 2050.
The Peacock Hill Community was established in the early seventies when the long term
availability of water may not have been fully thought out.
Peacock Hill constituents, like others in the County, "Visualize our community as one that
balances natural and built environments and that has a vital urban core surrounded by a
rural area that remains predominately green and open....one in which each individual is
valued and where all can live affordably and safely....one that has open and accessible
governments which cooperate to provide quality economical services." So, as citizens and
taxpayers, we now need your understanding and help, because 180 property owners
placed their faith in the government years ago when the development was first approved.
In good faith, they believed that adequate water existed, that their health and safety was
considered, and that they would reap the same rewards as all other citizens because of
government oversight.
Our quest for Public Water, rather than drilling more and more wells, is based on the
constant fear that eventually our water system may become contaminated, or that we will
soon run out of water. An objective analysis will show that County water for Peacock Hill
is the right thing to do. We realize that the County has not included Peacock Hill in its
preferred development zones, but the development came with the County's approval. It
places an unreasonable burden on residents and taxpayers when government moves in a
new direction without making allowances for past commitments. We believe that the
message to the citizens should be that, "we will honor our past as we move toward the
future." To address our fears, we believe that we need to be included in the growth plan
for Albemarle County.
The residents of Peacock Hill wish to work with the Board of Supervisors and its capable
staff to find a solution to the Community's water problem, and to discover the correct
pathway to implementing that solution promptly and economically.
PHCA 1-7/1/99
HISTORICAL OVERVIEW
Peacock Hill, established and approved by County Planning and the State Health
Department in 1973 under developer, Frank Folsom Smith, included 180 home sites and
be served by a multi community well system. More specifically:
• Peacock Hill is serviced by five wells, located throughout the community on its
common grounds.
• Peacock Hill consists of 180 lots. 145 are improved lots, the remaining 35 are
unimproved (empty lots with no houses). Two homes are under construction
and will come on to our water system very soon. We have one outside
customer, who is not a community member of Peacock Hill.
• Total number of customers on Peacock Hill Service is 148.
• Peacock Hill's lots are surrounded by acres of common grounds. Community
drain fields are located on much of this land.
• The Peacock Hill Service Company was purchased in 1991 by the Association
for the sum of$10,000.
• Sales of lots and existing homes in Peacock Hill have risen substantially in the
last year. The popularity of the school district (V. L. Murray Elementary,
Henley Middle School, and Western Albemarle High School) have made this
area the second highest in demand, next to Stone Robinson School District.
See Attachment A. Its close proximity to the University of Virginia and
access to the Interstate Highway(164) also make it very popular.
• Peacock Hill is growing at a rate of 1-3 houses per year.
• Two additional sites for well drilling were approved by Jim Moore, State
Health Department. However, Mr. Moore withdrew one of these sites because
it was too close to a drain field or a home owners property line.
Mr. Moore again reviewed the mapped areas in search of another site, but
could find none because of proximity to drain fields.
• We are currently hauling in an average of 30,000 gallons of water per week.
At least once a week we must transfer water from our upper storage tank to
the lower one so that the burden on the wells can be eased. This requires the
purchase of even more water.
PHCA-2-7/1/99
ZONING HISTORY OF PEACOCK HILL
( With an emphasis on county water requirements):
1973:
Peacock Hill was approved as a planned Unit Development (PUD) by the
Albemarle County Board of Supervisors under Special Use Permit SP-253. Total
development was limited to 195 dwelling units. Condition# 1 of this permit
required that "A central well system and sewerage disposal system be approved
under separate permits."
1975
Special Use Permit SP-499 was allowed by the Albemarle County Board of
Supervisors. This permit included the following conditions relating to water:
• Well output of one gallon per minute per dwelling unit;
• Well output to be reviewed and approved by the County Engineer;
• Any additional units served by this well(s) will require an additional
special use permit.
• This Special Use Permit granted to serve Sections 1&2 of Peacock Hill
and a maximum of ninety-nine (99) dwellings based upon the capacity
of the five wells tested which report a capacity of 29, 38, 11, Y2, 7 and
15 gallons per minute [total: 100.5 ].
1985
Zoning Map Amendment ZMA-85-22 was approved by the Board of Supervisors,
adding 2.5 acres to the existing Peacock Hill, PUD, and updating to current
county regulations the requirements for water, roads, and septic fields. The
planning staff report included this statement:
" The Albemarle County Service Authority Board has requested that central
water systems be designed in accordance with Service Authority standards in
the event the same are submitted for Service Authority
operation/ownership". Conditions of approval of ZMA-85-22 included the
following:
• All lots to be served by one or more central well systems designed
in accordance with Albemarle County Service Authority standards
and approved by the County Engineer including witnessing of well
testing.
PHCA 3-7/1/99
1987:
Frank Folsom Smith, developer of Peacock Hill, requested that the County amend
condition# 1 of SP-499 from one gallon per minute (GPM)to one half gallon per
minute (1/2 GPM)per dwelling unit, presumably to allow the construction of more
homes on the existing well system. In a letter dated September 24, 1987,
Ronald S. Keeler, a senior member of the County planning staff wrote that:
Conditions of ZMA-85-22 supersede and replace conditions of SP-253
including condition 1, which became SP-499. While no specific language was
included in ZMA-85-22 to repeal SP-499, repeal and replacement of
Condition 1 of SP-253 had the same effect. No further action is necessary by
applicant to vacate SP-499.
Through this series of actions, Albemarle County approved the development of
new sections of Peacock Hill with an overall water requirement of one-half gallon
per minute per home. Well drilling tests exist for at least some of the wells.
County records reviewed do not include written documentation of the County
Engineer's witnessing of all well tests, but it is presumed that this was done.
History of Peacock Hill Water System
In 1973 North American Exploration, Inc. studied the area of the proposed
Peacock Hill Planned Unit Development for well sites for the central well system.
In their report that year, to John McNair and Associates, they stated, "A rather
severe constraint was imposed on the selection of potential well sites by the
restriction that the potential well sites had to be located up-drainage from the
numerous planned septic fields". The developer had twelve wells drilled in seven
distinctly different areas in late 1973 and early1974. Of these twelve wells, our
wells 1,2,3, and 4 appear to be the only ones that were worth developing.
The two best producing wells (1&2) were brought on line first and adequately
supplied the early development of the community(Turkey Ridge Road, Big Oak
Road, and Gilliams Mountain Road). By the mid to late 80's the developer opened
sections which included Heron Lane, Apple Lane, and Goose Neck Lane. It
appears from our research that wells 1 &2 were having trouble satisfying the
demand of the rapidly increasing number of dwellings. Residents were unaware of
the problem, however, since the developer still controlled the water system and did
not share this information with them. The developer brought well number 3 on
line in late 1990. It was rated at 17.5 GPM.
In 1991 the developer divested himself of the development and turned the
management over to the Peacock Hill Community Association. The last two
sections at Peacock Hill( Shady Lane and Peacock Drive Extension) were sold by
PHCA 4-7/1/99
the developer to a builder who built "spec houses". In December 1991, the
Peacock Hill Community Association(PHCA) purchased the water system from
the developer.
By the summer of 1993, well 3 had been worked so hard that it was producing
only 5-6 GPM when it was operational. A break in a water main emptied the
lower tank and, afterwards, the three existing wells could neither satisfy the
demand nor could they fill the lower storage tank. It was during this first crisis
that the water system was shut down daily from 10 AM until 4 PM so that the
lower tank could refill. Filling the tank under these conditions was impossible and
required the purchase of more than a quarter million gallons of trucked in water.
During this emergency one of the original wells was pump tested and found to be
an inadequate producer. The original drilling company directed us to another of
the original twelve wells. After re-drilling and other benefactions, well 4 rated at 9
GPM was brought on line.
The fifth well was begun in early 1994. Mr. Thomas M. Gathright II, a geologist
with the Virginia Division of Mineral Resources was consulted. He drew traces of
potential fracture zones on a sketch map of Peacock Hill and prioritized a group of
potential drill sites. The drilling of the fifth well was completed in May 1994. The
well was activated on January 12, 1995. Throughout the last half of 1994, positive
tests for bacteria were traced to well 4. When well number 5 came on line, well
number 4 was shut down; a well house built and chlorination equipment installed.
(Attachment B - Fracture Zones & Well Locations)
Other than some periodic breaks in the distribution system, PHSC operated
smoothly from 1995 through 1997. The drought of 1998 caused the community to
declare drought management conditions on September 10, 1998. A more stringent
declaration was issued on March 6, 1999. (Attachment C) Early in 1999 the
process of drilling two additional wells was begun. Mr. Gathright (now retired)
was again consulted to locate drilling sites for wells 6 &7. The drilling of the sixth
well is complete and tested at 12.5 GPM, but not currently online. The seventh
well was not drilled because the site was disapproved by the Health Department
for being too close to a drain field. The problem continues to be that the existing
well system can not meet the demand of Peacock Hill customers. As a result, we
continue to purchase water from a hauling company.
Peacock Hill Water Usage
As charts 1-3 on the next page show, water use in Peacock Hill rose slowly over
the years, as may be seen on the following charts. The 1987 approval of the
Developer's request to amend Condition#1 of SP-499 from one GPM to V2 GPM
per dwelling set the stage for our present difficulties.

Droughts over the past decade have resulted in declining ground water availability.
Since 1973, 14 wells were drilled. Well output was insufficient to meet the
demand in 1993 and again in 1999, and water continues to be hauled from
Brownsville Water Treatment Plant to Peacock Hill Several times each week.
Sustained conservation efforts by residents contribute to a moderate use of less
than 200 GPD per household averaged over a year. Outdoor watering and
washing is prohibited.
Peacock Hill homeowners now pay very high water rates and surcharges
(Attachment D), both to encourage water conservation and to provide capital for
maintenance and operation of the water system. In 1999, the community voted to
assess each property owner for the drilling of an additional well. Indications from
the Health Department are that well locations within Peacock Hill are limited, and
the 1999 well(well#6) may be the last which can be drilled.
A number of years ago, a community in the county, experienced water problems
similar to those of Peacock Hill. In fact, West Leigh's water system went dry and
is now supplied water by the County. According to data furnished by ACSA,
West Leigh's average water usage is 320 GPD per household. Using this number
as normal conditions, Peacock Hill's need, therefore, is 181 units times 320 or
57,820 GPD. Our water system is currently able to produce 22,000 GPD (based
on a yearly average).
Water systems should ordinarily be designed for 30 years hence. Fire flow governs
system design. Fire flow requires 200-500% of average annual demand. Average
consumption for domestic purposes is only 100 GPD per capita. (Volume 1, "Data
Book for Civil Engineers"by Seelye, pages 20-22)
In summary, the Peacock Hill Water System, intended, originally, to serve 195
homes can no longer supply even nominal household demand for 147 units. Two
new homes are nearly complete, and lots are available for 32 additional homes. It
is the considered opinion of the Peacock Hill Board of Directors that water must
be obtained from other sources.
We are, therefore, seeking solutions that will provide 58,000 GPD. The design
basis as outlined by the Health Department in 1994 was 54,400 GPD.
PHCA 9-7/1/99
PUBLIC HEALTH AND SAFETY ISSUES
Accessibility of water storage tanks
Peacock Hill has two water tanks, an upper tank (15,000 gallon capacity) at the
top of Gilliams Mountain and a lower tank (25,000 gallon capacity) at Deer Crest.
When the need to purchase water first arose both tanks were evaluated for
accessibility by C &D Water Hauling, a water provider recommended by the
County Water Department. The lower tank is not accessible by large tank trucks
and it can not be made accessible without drastic revision of the road system and
severe destruction of surrounding forest area. The upper tank is accessible in
normal weather conditions.
A significant problem arises, however, in winter weather conditions. While a fully
loaded tanker might have sufficient traction to drive safely up to the upper tank, it
is the opinion of the water provider that it would be dangerous for the empty
tanker to drive down the hill in such conditions. It is likely that the descent would
endanger the truck and driver, pedestrians, and property located all along Gilliams
Mountain Road. For this reason a water company would probably decline to
deliver water to the upper tank in snowy or icy conditions. Since the average
requirement of Peacock Hill is to purchase one truck load of water per day, there
is a risk that the community might be left with no water at all in an extended period
of winter weather.
Water Quality
In July of 1998 the Virginia Department of Health notified Peacock Hill that total
coliform bacteria in its water supply exceeded the primary maximum contaminant
level set forth by federal law. (Attachment E) The United States Environmental
Protection Agency has determined that the presence of total coliform is a possible
health concern. In 1994 a similar problem occurred with bacteria.
The past necessity to shut off all water usage for several hours per day gives rise to
additional dangers. When the water supply is cut off a negative pressure usually
develops in the distribution system which can cause infiltration to the system from
ground water to the potable water system. This is particularly true if there
happens to be a break in the water line.
PHCA 10-7/1/99
Fire Suppression
The Crozet Volunteer Fire Company would be the first to respond to either a
structural or a grass land/forest fire call from Peacock Hill.
Response time by Crozet is three to seven minutes for assembly of the firemen and
dispatch of equipment plus the time required to travel from the fire station to the
scene in Peacock Hill. This measures between 10 and 12 minutes under normal
driving conditions, but would be significantly longer in winter, after a major storm,
or if impeded by traffic congestion.
If dispatched to Peacock Hill, Crozet would send one pumper truck and one water
truck. The pumper carries 750 to 1000 gallons of water on board and the water
truck carries 2,000 gallons. The water truck is less maneuverable than the pumper
due to its length. Back-up assistance from adjacent units, if called by Crozet,
would normally dispatch both a pumper and a water tanker. Water tankers can be
replenished onsite. Back-up assistance can be obtained from Station 8 on
Seminole Trail,North Garden, Earlysville, Rockfish, and the City of
Charlottesville. Back-up for brush and forest fires can be obtained from the State
Forest Service as well.
The rate of fire water usage depends on the number and size of hoses deployed.
Pumpers are capable of delivering 750 to 1,000 gallons per minute through 2 '/2
inch hoses. At this rate, water supply aboard the pumper and accompanying
tanker truck would be exhausted in as little as three minutes. A fire requiring this
effort would involve back-up units, so tankers would rotate between servicing
Pumpers and replenishing their supply from Peacock Lake. Ice equal to or less
than one inch in thickness should not affect water withdrawal beyond the time
penalty required to break through and insert the strainer unit.
For fire insurance purposes, residences at Peacock Hill are classified at risk level 9.
If piped water and reasonably spaced hydrants were available, the risk level would
drop to 5. On a$250,000 home, the difference in annual fire insurance premium
would be approximately$140.
PHCA 11-7/1/99
ALTERNATE SOLUTIONS
Adjacent Properties
Jay Gillenwater and Nursery
Dr. Jay Gillenwater, a neighbor on Dry Bridge Road, has three wells to the north
of Peacock Hill on State Route 708. He uses the water for a nursery . According
to Dr. Gillenwater the wells produce 50 GPM or 72,000 GPD. However, the
wells only run about 100 hours per year and never for sustained periods. Dr.
Gillenwater is willing to provide assistance, but we would need to drill a new well
on his property and connect to our system which is about 2,000 feet from his
property. We would need to explore water cost, long term flow rates, and
certification by the Health Department.
Rivanna Solid Waste Authority (RSWA)
The Waste Authority recently drilled a well in the median of I-64 in proximity to
our community. Reports are that it is a high producing well and could satisfy some
of our needs. Discussion with Art Petrini, RSWA Executive Director, suggests
that our hooking onto the well would not be legally acceptable. The well is a
monitoring well required by DEQ as an early warning system for possible
contaminants moving toward Peacock Hill.
Gertrude Weber Land
The Weber land is located across Dry Bridge Road (SR 708) from Peacock Hill.
According to Ms. Weber, there is an excess amount of water on the property.
There are approximately 130 acres which she is selling. (Attachment F) The list
price is $950,000 and she would prefer that it not be developed, but rather turned
into "Green Space". Purchase by Peacock Hill would satisfy Ms. Weber's desire
and provide Peacock Hill a buffer zone and water.
Peacock Hill would need the assurances that the area could produce the needed
water for a sustained period. The well(s) would become our major source by
producing a minimum of 58,000 GPD.
Financing would be a major obstacle for Peacock Hill and require much discussion
and innovation. However, discussions with Ms. Weber should include
Conservation Easement, Tax Reductions, and Quid Pro Quo for reduced value.
PHCA 12-7/1/99
Dowser Report
A Dowser has been retained to provide recommendations for well sites within
Peacock Hill and in the surrounding area. The Dowser was also asked to search
for water on unimproved lots. A full report will be submitted as an addendum to
this application.
Geological Report
Nick H. Evans, Ph.D., Senior Geologist for the State of Virginia has been asked to
perform a geological survey within one half mile radius of Peacock Hill. This is an
attempt to enlarge our circle of search. Dr. Evans will ask us to contract for the
service. This will be expensive so the circle was limited until the process is further
defined. The first meeting with Dr. Evans and Mr. Thomas Gathright was held on
June 29,1999. A full report will be submitted when complete as an addendum to
this application.
Other Possible Solutions
Moratorium on Building in Peacock Hill
Peacock Hill has 180 lots with 145 improved and houses presently being built on 2
lots. There is a possibility that 33 more houses will be built. The water system
will not be able to furnish water to 180 homes. The County could refuse any
additional Building Permits. The Peacock Hill Service Company could also
prohibit any new customers. Both of these options would breach previous
understandings with land owners. Land owners of undeveloped land would
experience large devaluation of their property, which could expose the County and
the Association to litigation.
Albemarle County Service Authority Water
When Peacock Hill was approved as a planned Unit Development in 1973, the
Albemarle County Service Authority( ACSA) was allowed to provide water
anywhere that there were enough customers to provide an adequate revenue
stream. Although Peacock Hill was approved for development using a community
well system, there was then a possibility that public water could be obtained if it
became necessary.
PHCA 13-7/1/99
In later years, as a legitimate growth-management tool, the ACSA was limited by
action of the Board of Supervisors to providing water to customers within
"jurisdictional areas," which areas included existing and planned growth areas of
the county. This change removed the rights of Peacock Hill and other rural county
subdivisions to use public water. Several of these subdivisions that were on well
systems have already suffered well failure, and are now served by the ACSA.
Peacock Hill is no different from these aforementioned subdivisions outside
growth areas which are now being served by public water, except for the distance
and the costs of providing water to it. Because of the anticipated cost of providing
public water, Peacock Hill and its residents have survived for a quarter century by
drilling 14 holes in the ground, by imposing on themselves substantial water fees
and charges, by undertaking conservation measures, and by the enormous
dedication and work of a few citizens.
Despite all of these efforts, it now appears that additional wells will not provide the
long-term solution to an adequate supply of water to this community. If the Board
of Supervisors and the ACSA agree to examine the possibility of providing public
water, Peacock Hill pledges itself to work with both bodies in seeking ways to
solve this critical problem.

IMPORTANT NOTICE!!!!
September 10, 1998
Dear Peacock Hill Service Customers.
As many of you are aware, the water system experienced a leak on Turkey Ridge Road
that was found on this past Labor Day. Our maintenance provider, Country Water System,
promptly began to repair the leak early the next morning. In most cases, in order to repair leaks
and depending where they arc located, water service must be shut down. This was the case for
this most recent leak. We realize that these interruptions in water service are an inconvenience for
our customers and while it is the intention of Peacock Hill Service Company to give notice in
advance of any work which must be done that will necessitate any interruption of the supply, such
notice is to be considered an accommodation and not a requirement on the part of the Company.
Property owners must so regulate their installations connected with the water supply
system that damage will not occur if water is shut off without notice. Peacock Hill Service
Company will undertake to use reasonable care and diligence in order to prevent and avoid
interruptions and fluctuations in the service, but cannot and does not guarantee that such will not
occur. Please refer to your copy of the Peacock Hill Service Company Water Rates, Rules and
Regulations(effective date January I, 1998).
Along with the water loss that occurred with the leak, we are in a extreme drought period.
Coupled with the fact that water usage has been increasing during this period, the wells and tanks
are being stressed. The tanks cannot replenish to normal levels quickly enough to meet demand at
this time. If water usage continues to climb, and there is no rain to replenish the wells, it could
mean that alternate water sources would need to be used..
With this in mind, Peacock Hill Service Company is implementing a mandatory
restriction of water usage to it's customers in order to obtain a sufficient supply. Until
further notice the following usage of water will be prohibited:
1) Any and all outdoor watering of lawns and landscaping.
2) The washing of automobiles.
Peacock Hill Service Company may discontinue water and sewer service to those customers
that willfully or indifferently violate the above prohibitions as stated in the Peacock Hill
Service Company Water Rates, Rules and Regulations.
- 2 -
Normal household water usage, such as bathing, showering, cooking, etc is no problem
However, be mindful of how much water you are using. Shorten your showers. Fill your
bathtubs only 1/4 full. Use your garbage disposal sparingly. Accumulate waste and dispose of it
all at once by flushing with cold water-or better yet, save all the waste for composting. Load
your dishwashers and washing machines to capacity. A toilet leak can waste hundreds of gallons
of water a day I.isien lin an ominous"I►sssti' sound Since many leaks arc silent, put a few
drops of food coloring or a dye capsule in the toilet tank and wait 15 minutes. If the color shows
up in the bowl and the toilet has not been flushed, you have a leak to repair.
Adherence to the above restrictions and tips, will result in the water system bouncing back
to normal at a quicker rate. Peacock Hill Service Company thanks all it customers for their
patience and compliance during this time
Customers will be notified when restrictions will be lined. You may call the office number
at (804) 296-2484 for updated information Please do not call my personal home number. Only
messages left at the office number will be answered.
Sincerely,Si �ly

NOTICE TO CONSUMERS OF THE
PEACOCK HILL SUBDIVISION PUBLIC WATER SYSTEM
We have been advised by the Virginia Department of Health that total coliform bacteria exceeded the primary
maximum contaminant level as set forth by federal law for samples collected during the month of July 1998. The
results indicated the presence of coliform bacteria in two samples. We are allowed no more than one coliform
presence sample per month.
The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) sets drinking water standards and has determined
that the presence of total coliforms is a possible health concern. Total coliforms are common in the environment
and are generally not harmful themselves. The presence of these bacteria in drinking water, however, generally
is a result of a problem with water treatment or the pipes which distribute the water, and indicates that the water
may be contaminated with organisms that can cause disease. Disease symptoms may include diarrhea,
cramps, nausea, and possibly jaundice, and associated headaches and fatigue. These symptoms, however, are
not just associated with disease-causing organisms in drinking water, but also may be caused by a number of
factors other than your drinking water. EPA has set an enforceable drinking water standard for total coliforms to
reduce the risk of these adverse health effects. Under this standard no more than 5.0 percent of the samples
collected during a month can contain these bacteria, except that systems collecting fewer than 40
samples/month that have one total coliform positive sample per month are not violating the standard. Drinking
water which meets this standard is usually not associated with a health risk from disease causing bacteria and
should be considered safe.
For additional information concerning this notice, you may call Ms. Cindy Perfater at 804/296-2484.
