to reverse its earlier decision regarding approval of a public water system for Rappahannock Lakes, so as to permit action on individual wells in the area.
Public water system?
When contacted more than a month ago, Hugh Eggbome, regional supervising engineer for community water systems at the Health Department’s Culpeper office, said that apparently the department was advised prior to his coming on the job in 1980 that Rappahannock Lakes no longer met the definition of a community water system. He reached that conclusion based on the absence of monitoring data subsequent to February 1979. However, he confirmed that the records do not show what changed or when.
But Rappahannock Lakes did come under the Health Department’s purv iew as a community system just a few months prior to the cessation of monitoring. It was then that the department ordered a spring disconnected when the spring was suspected as the source of fecal coliform found in the water flowing from the taps of the 24 residences on the community system.
Mr. Eggbome promised an investigation. This Monday, Joe Burner at the same office ackowledged that he had been directed by the supervising engineer to conduct the investigation.
However, he had no additional information as to w hat may have led to the reclassification of the Rappahannock Lakes water system. “Our objective is to resolve the situation to the benefit of all the people who have to live with it there,” he said.
A follow-up telephone call to the Culpeper office on Tuesday found Mr. Burner “away from his desk.” The reporter’s call was not returned.
