HomeMy WebLinkAbout1953-12-16A Mr. Donald S. Wallace appeared before the Board and discussed extensively the present and
possible future of the water supply in the Crozet SanitaryDistrict. He stated that he felt that
eventually Crozet would have to go to Stockton Creek for its water supply which was recommended by him
in a report to the County in 1945 and also by Wiley and Wilson, Consulting Engineers. He recommended
that in the event this source of supply is ever use~, that a ten inch line be used and estimated that
the coat of piping the water to the town would be approximately $50,000.00 and in addition, the cost
piping and
of/pumping the water to the present filter plant would cost approximately $50,000.00. He stated that
he felt water rates would have to be increased still more to make the improvements needed and that the
people would have to be told that it costs a gm-eat deal to get the water to the town, much more than in
other areas. Mr. Williams suggested that Mr. Wallace explain the situmtion to_a mass gathering at
Crozet as he had explained it to the Board. It was decided that the Board meet with the Eater Committe,
first regarding this matter and advise Mr. Wallace later of a date for the mass meeting.
Communication was received from ~r. Ray W. Warrick regarding supplying water from his well to
the Crozet Water System. He also enclosed a copy of a letter from the Southern Drilling Company giving
an opinion as to the possible capacity of this well. The Clerk was instructed to acknowledge receipt
