Camelot wastewater plant nears capacity
5/27/08 * C-Ville Weekly [full story]
Service authorities bid initial contract for new pump station
Here’s how it seems to have happened in the swashbuckling old days: A developer came along, decided he needed wastewater treatment, and he built a plant hisself, by God!
That was the case with the northernmost stretch of Route 29. In 1990, Wendell Wood, then acting on the part of two companies, Woodbriar Associates (responsible for the Briarwood subdivision) and Gold Leaf Land Trust, dramatically expanded the Camelot wastewater treatment plant, located just north of the North Fork of the Rivanna River, to serve GE Fanuc, UVA’s North Fork Research Park and his own residential projects. But it only took two years for the Albemarle County Service Authority (ACSA) to decide that leaving a treatment plant in private hands was a bad idea.
