The Albemarle County Board of Supervisors voted 4-2 this week to approve three ordinances designed to protect rural areas. However, many people felt the new rules infringe on landowner’s property rights. Supervisor David Slutzky (Rio) joined Coy Barefoot the day after the vote to explain why he supported the ordinances.
Betty Mooney and former City Councilor Kevin Lynch joins Coy Barefoot on WINA’s “Charlottesville–Right Now!” to explain why they’ve formed the group Citizens for a Sustainable Water Plan. Essentially, they feel that the Rivanna Water and Sewer Authority’s plan to build a new dam at the Ragged Mountain Reservoir is not environmentally friendly. The Charlottesville City Council and the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors approved the concept in the spring of 2006 to build the dam, as well as a new pipeline between Ragged Mountain and the South Fork Rivanna Reservoir.
