ENGINEER'S REPORT - ,!iii�Y�i11i2,*�Lsc° �
PEACOCK HILL WATER SYSTEM � ,.• ��
SECTION III ( , �" �`
ALBEMARLE COUNTY, VIRGINA
Letter of application for a construction permit was sent to the Mr. Ron
Conner, Regional Engineer on February 28, 1980.
A preliminary engineering conference was conducted by phone with Mr.
Jim Moore on Febryary 28, 1980
The engineer's report follows:
(a.) General Information
1. Description of existing system.
Section one was constructed in 1975 under permit #C-72, dated
July 9, 1975 and consisted of one 38 gpm cased and grouted, class II-B
well, a chlorine contact chamber, a 25,000 gallon storage tank, and
a piping system shown on plans by John McNair and Associates dated
June 26, 1975 and covered by specifications by that firm dated January
9, 1975. The system operates under permit # 2003650 effective June
24, 1977, for up to 50 services.
Section two was constructed in 1976. This section was an ex-
tension of the distribution system as shown on John McNair and Associstes
plans dated March 4, 1976 and covered by specifications by that firm
dated March 24, 1976.
Sewerage facilities consist of 18 individual and 2 mass septic
tanks and drain fields located at approved locations throughout the
subdivision but safely away from the wells. A second, class II-B well
rated at 28 gpm has been drilled, cased, and grouted for future service
when the number of connections exceeds fifty.
2. Area served.
The area served is Peacock Hill Subdivision in Albemarle County,
just north of I-64 on State Route 708.
3. Owner.
Mr. Frank Folsum Smith
109 3rd Street, S.E.
Charlottesville, Virginia 22901
'441110.' s44100°(b.) Extent of waterworks system
1. Area to be served.
Section three is a 30 lot subdivision for single family residences.
2. Provisions for extending the waterworks system.
This section is located at an elevation that would allow an ex-
tension in the future to serve an additional 36 residential housing
units to the south of Section III. Additional well capacity is available
when the number of connections reaches 50. Ample storage and line size
has been provided in all previous sections to allow for future expansion
to the ultimate planned density.
3. Apprasial of future requirements.
The total community plan consists of 195 units of single family
residential housing. There is no plan for industrial, commercial, or
institutional land use that would require water.
(c.) Alternate Plan
There is no other feasible solution to furnish water to the pro-
posed Section 3. This pump-storage extension of the existing system
to a higher elevation range is the planned and logical solution.
(d.) Soil, groundwater conditions, and foundation problems
1. Soil.
The soil through which water mains are to be laid is a rocky, well
drained, weathered soil of the type Hayesville and Brandywine loams.
2. Foundation conditions.
The soil is stable and sound with adequate bearing capacity for
the proposed water storage tank.
3. Groundwater.
The groundwater is well below the surface at the top of the hill
where the tank will be located. There will be no foundations that extend
into the ground water table.
(e.) Water consumption
1. Population trend.
Section one was started in 1975 and Section two was started in
1976. There are now 28 units built and occupied out of the ultimate
plan for 195 units. The growth rate since the development started has
been slow but steady.
