Local group outlines reasons for opposition to community water supply plan
Activists 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.
