"This letter is in response to Mr. James M. Hill's request dated March 16,
1977, addressed to Miss Estelle Neher', Secretary to the Board of Supervisors,
County of Albemarle, Virginia, asking for approval of a well water system
for West Woods Subdivision.
The well for which approval is requested was drilled and tested on August 3
and 4, 1976. The well depth is 400 feet and the stati~ water level was
nine feet below ground surface. Drawdown stabilized at 329 feet and the
pumping rate was 20.6 g.p.m, for the final four hours. Although this
flow is 0.4 g.p.m, shy of the 21 g.p.m, required to serve the 42 connections
which Mr. Hill requests, we recommend 42 connections be allowed.
The mechanics of the water system have been reviewed and approved by this
office. Approval of sanitation by the Department of Health has not been
given, as far as we have been informed."
Mr. Jim Hill was present and said the well had been tested for 72 hours. Motion was

$5,622. Mr. Agnor said the requested amount from OAR represented a 41% increase over the
current fiscal year's level of funding. He has heard the Board express its concern many
times with programs of this type which are begun with Federal and State funding and then
those sources of funding are withdrawn and the locality has to "pick up the tab"; thus the
reason fot his recommendation.
Dr. Iachetta said since all Federal funds have now been withdrawn from this agency, the
County will know where it stands in the future. He felt the requested amount is a small
expenditure if the program really keeps people from returning to jail. Since the program is
carried out mostly by volunteers, he offered motion to approve the amount of $7,918 for
public hearing purposes. The motion was seconded by Mr. Dorrier and carried by the following
recorded vote:

years, the Board had funded this category at $2,000. Previously $4,000 had been provided.
Mr. Noble said Madison House provides about one-quarter of a million dollars in services to
the community for an expenditure of $50,000. 'This figure is calculated on what it would cost
to put the volunteers into the community and pay them the minimum wage. He said the services
rendered by Madison House are not a duplication of any other services, but are a supplement
to existing services.
Mr. Fisher said he feels this is a good program and the County should support it at some
level. The offices of the Albemarle Housing Improvement Program are in Madison House and the
County does not pay for that space.

that within five years, the County and City may have to go to a paid rescue~ squad because of
