Topic Description:
|
|
At
a work session held August 18, 2003, the Board of Supervisors
reviewed an Implementation Plan prepared by the Fauquier County W
ater and Sanitation Authority (WSA) to
provide a public water system to the Opal Service District. The
first phase of the Implementation Plan is to conduct a
hydrogeological study to determine if sufficient groundwater is
available. The
estimated cost of the study is $200,000.
The Board of Supervisors
also discussed the need to finalize the water project for those
residents of the community of Frytown who have contaminated wells.
The estimated cost to provide public water to the remaining six
residential homes by connecting to a water line being provided by
proffer is $39,000. Funds
to complete these projects will be taken from the Fauquier County
Utility Fund.

Consider adoption of the attached
resolution.

|
Financial
Impacts Analysis:
|
|
Funds to complete the
hydrogeological study, not to exceed $200,000, would come from the
Fauquier County Utility Fund to be repaid from user fees once the
complete water system is installed, and funds in the amount of
$39,000 would come from the Utility Fund to finalize the
connection of the Frytown residential homes.
The exiting Frytown appropriation will be supplemented by
$2,500 from Utility Funds in order to reserve sufficient funding
for this component of the project.
