Request for Water Service
ACSA 201500001, W. A . Wells
• Request for water service to two 2+ acre parcels (TMP
046000000023D0 and TMP 046000000023D1)
• One existing single-family home on each parcel.
• Located south side of Polo Grounds Road, east of Rt. 29, west the
SOCA field site and south of the Montgomery Ridge development.
• In designated Rural Area and Rivanna Magisterial District.
• Polo Grounds Road is Development Area boundary (north DA, south
RA).
ACSA 201500001, W. A . Wells
• Wells and spring serving these parcels no longer providing viable
service
• The on-site well now serving these parcels contains a high level of
iron and sediment, which make the water undrinkable and has caused
damage, multiple failures/replacement to water systems systems.
• Virginia Department of Health evaluated information provided by
applicant-determined that the current wells are a health concern and
there are no other viable well locations on-site where potable water
can be assured.

County Policy for extending public service
• The jurisdictional areas are those portions of the County that can be
served by water or sewer service, or both, and generally follow the
Development Areas boundaries.
• The boundaries of the Development Areas are to be followed in
delineating jurisdictional areas. Change to these boundaries outside
of the Development Areas should only be allowed when: ( 1) the area
to be included is adjacent to existing lines; and (2) public health
and/or safety is in dander."
ACSA 201500001, W. A . Wells
• While water and sewer services by policy are intended to serve the
designated Development Areas, this jurisdictional area request meets
the Comprehensive Plan conditions for a Rural Area service exception
under the County's criteria.
• water lines are located on adjacent property to the north and there is
a public health or safety issue present on-site.
• existing private water supply has high iron content, is unsuitable for
drinking and bathing, and based upon the geology of the parcels,
there appear to be no other likely viable private water supply options
available on-site.
ACSA 201500001, W. A . Wells
• Staff recommends that the Board approve an amendment to the
Albemarle County Service Authority Jurisdictional Area to provide
Water Only to Existing Structures on Tax Map Parcel 046000000023D0
(service to one existing residence/house) and 046000000023D1
(service to one existing residence/house).
