Dont let Aqua Virginia continue to take advantage of residents of the lake. Heres the letter I sent in protest to the powers that be I am an Aqua Virginia customer living at Lake Monticello, Virginia. Aqua Virginia proposes an increase for water and waste of over 12%. Aqua Virginia is seeking higher profits while they fail miserably at their mandate and refuse to resolve problems and pollute our air. Residents here already pay MORE for water than ANY OTHER LOCATION IN THE US, INCLUDING CALIFORNIA! I find the request for a rate increase to be particularly unthinkable when Aqua Virginia consistently fails our community. 1. Although I paid extra to buy a home directly on the lake, I am unable to enjoy being outside due to the septic odors that belch from AVs grinder pump, which is about .8 miles from my home. The disgusting stench blankets the area, and occurs at the numerous other grinder pumps operated by AV at Lake Monticello. Complaints to Aqua Virginia lip service but no improvements. They refuse to fix the problem and then demand rate increases! This problem has become increasingly worse over the last 2 years 2. Aqua Virginia’s failure is also demonstrated vividly by the increasingly septic odors which emanate from their water treatment plant, a short distance from our community, a problem which has decreased value of our homes and has harmed the marketability of our community as a whole. The disgusting odors from the water treatment plant have intensified significantly over the past 2 years. As a citizen of the Dominion of Virginia, the water belongs to me. Aqua Virginia does not have to pay for it, and their processing charges are absurdly well and over usual costs to consumers. Since Aqua Virginia ignores these serious problems, contaminates our air and devalues our homes, the only option left is a class action suit against Aqua Virginia. Aqua Virginia should NOT be granted a rate increase. Instead they should be formally investigated.
