When Mr. McCarthy presented the new Capital Improvements Plan to the planners, Wakefield District representative Werner Krebser asked why funds were not in the current budget for acquiring space for the schools.
Mr. McCarthy said the supervisors would consider buying property if some became available, but he felt it was better to plan for buying land next year. Chairman Allen Stokes, a former member of the School Board, said that enrollment had gone up and down over the years.
Dr. Krebser also asked about planning for septage treatment. He noted that landowners were having trouble finding anyone to pump their septic tanks.
Mr. McCarthy said the Sperryville sewage treatment plant could not be expanded to treat the county’s septage. He said the county would have to go into debt to fund a new septage treatment plant. “We are left looking to our neighbors,” he said.
Mr. McCarthy said Shenandoah County was considering a plant to convert septage to compost. Rappahannock septage might be taken on a per-load basis, he said.
He noted that some sewage treatmemt plants, such as the one in Remington in Fauquier County, received federal funds when they were being built with the understanding that they would accept septage on a regional basis, but were refusing to take Rappahannock’s septage.
He added that the sewage treatment plant in Charlottesville would accept Rappahannock’s septasre.
