Avon
Hall to
Town?
By Gerald Ochs
Rappahannock News Writer
In a closed session on Sept. 12, the Washington Town Council agreed to spend $500 of the $10,000 required to obtain an exclusive six-month option on the purchase of the late William Carrigan’s Avon Hall.
As reported by Mayor Stewart Willis after the closed session, the Town Council will continue the open session of its September meeting to Sept. 19, during which time it will move to ratify the expenditure of the option's full price of $10,000. The results of this extraordinary session will be reported in next week’s issue of the Rappahannock . News.
The Town Council’s objective, said Mayor Willis, is to have sufficient time to conduct environmental and engineering surveys to determine whether the 18 acre parcel will support a drainfield and other components of a Townwide wastewater treatment system.
The system proposed in April of 2000 by Resource International, the Town’s wastewater treatment consultant, consisted of a combination pressure and gravity collection system, a “low tech” recirculating sand filter treatment system, and a subsurface ‘ soil absorption effluent disposal system and would have cost, at that time, on the order of $1.5 M, less the cost of land acquisition.
