Could Worrell Water save B.F. Yancey?

According to this morning's Daily Progress, an Albemarle-hired expert has declared that B.F. Yancey Elementary School holds insufficient land for the jumbo-sized septic field it might need to expand.

What ever happened to property rights! They now have an area in western New Jersey where they have made it law that you can only have 1 septic tank for 80 acres of land. Have these beurocrats lost there mind. They are concerned with a couple of turds per day per person and yet at the head waters of the James River you have a paper mill spewing sulfur in the air and water! They want to have "common area" so their fat kids can have someplace to play. Have they not heard of the millions of acres we have in our national forest. I thought that was our common area! We need to limit government on this power grab nonsense. WE need to have it back to 2 acres, enough for a septic field and alternative field. I don't want a tract house right next door to someone else!~

sean, neither spelling nor making any sense seem to be your special gifts. did you miss the fact that the article was referring to a public school? could you please explain (i'm not holding my breath mind you) what relevance property rights have? was that just an excuse for a mindless rant?

And what if besides Yancey Elementary School, these new developments get innovative and latched onto Worrell Water. Isn't it time to stop pouring money into massive treatment plants when more environmentally and financially responsible solutions exit ?
