pressure tested.”
“Is there going to be backflow prevention,” asked Brad Snider of Washington, “and how about growth, are you allowing for town growth?”
As to the backflow issues, White assured those present that there is prevention and as far as town growth is concerned, White said, “We are planning for nominal growth at best, if at all.”
Jimmie Jenkins, who is a property owner just outside Washington, voiced his concern of the plans for growth within the town, pointing out that approximately 45,000 gallons was used as a base usage and that was actually an isolated peak month’s usage.
Not only does Jenkins represent the town as a local landowner, but he has vast experience with wastewater issues as he is the director of the Fairfax County Department of Public Works and Environmental Services.
White explained that permits must be made on peak months, and that is why the 45,000 gallon month was used.
After the meeting was adjourned, White further explained that, “as an engineer I would normally project growth potential of 90,000 gallons when there was a 45,000 gallon peak month, however I was allowing for 25 houses to be added to the system over a 25 year span. That is definitely nominal growth projection.”
Jenkins also voiced considerable concern regarding odor related to discharge of sewage from a wastewater treatment facility, especially at the discharge point of a low pressure sewer.
White said that issue would be addressed in another public meeting, that this meeting was set up to discuss collections only.
