Faced with a “stop work” order from the county building inspector, Rappahannock’s Water and Sewer Authority agreed to buy 250 locks for electrical control panels of the gravity flow collection system at homes and businesses served by Sperryville’s sewage treatment plant.
Rappahannock Building Inspector Emil Smet said the locks must be installed to meet requirements of the Uniform State Building Code, according to WSA Chairman Martin Woodard. Without locks, electrical wiring in the control panels is vulnerable to tampering by children who might be electrocuted, the inspector added.
Mr. Woodard said that until the locks are installed, lids on the panels must be secured with wire twists. After the building inspector determines that the locks are in place, the “stop work” order will be lifted, he rsaid.
Mr. Smet also notified WSA that “each pump disconnect needs to be inspected before it can be electrically connected.”
Rather than scheduling the seven or eight individual inspections per day that would require, the WSA members proposed to discuss with Mr. Smet the possibility of inspection after connection. That would prevent delays in work on the sewer system and enable the building inspector to check several connections per visit, the WSA members pointed out.
