On Sept. 15, the state Health Department will begin granting well permits for private wells “and there will come the crunch at Rappahannock Lakes,” County Administrator John McCarthy told the supervisors last week.
“We have a ‘Catch 22'," Mr. McCarthy noted. Property owners who want to build on their unimproved lots in the small lot subdivision near Amissville must have a well permit but the local Health Department won’t give any for Rappahannock Lakes because the development was “approved” with a public water system.
But according to the Health Department’s regional Division of Water Programs in Culpeper, which has the responsibility for monitoring and regulating community water systems, Rappahannock Lakes has no such thing, and the well originally intended to provide water for the community system produces only 11/2 gallons per minute, inadequate even for the five residences still connected to it.
