Those wells which have been put in privately may well be subject to forced abandonment if a neighbor wanted to put a septic field in within 100 feet of them because as far as the Health Department is concerned, there are no private wells in Rappahannock Lakes." Mr. McCarthy advised the supervisors.
Calling Rappahannock Lakes a “dinosaur subdivision,” Supervisor Nelson Lane questioned whether Dr. Williams has “an obligation to those original buyers.”
Supervisor Ellis Bingham, who represents Jackson District where the development is located, said Dr. Williams is reportedly “threatening to subdivide the flood plain (surrounding the lakes) and sell it off,” apparently as camp sites, if the homeowners' association doesn’t buy this common land. In addition. Col. Bingham said, the Rappahannock Lakes developer is “trying to coerce the association into buying the roads."
Mr. McCarthy said he’d tried repeatedly to contact Dr. Williams by telephone but had gotten no response to his messages.
“I think the association can hold him [the original subdivider] to providing a water system,” Col. Bingham continued.
