and Virginia about Occoquan's
potential water resources.
Supervisors Reply
Noting that Alexandria and
Virginia have stated that expan-
sion Of the OccoQuan reservoir
can supply all Of the county. the
supervisors declared:
whether this can be done
depends entirely upon how much
it rains In this immediate area.
The Occoquan watershed is q
relatively small one which is al
most entirely within growing
areas OF Prince william and
Fairfax Counties. A drought In
this area would be Q drought in
the whole occoquan watershed.
Although permanent use Of
Occoquan appears extremely
doubtful at this time, there is
nothing In the county's water
program which would prevent
utilization Of this supply II the
final engineering report shows II
to be adequate and less expensive
than the Potomac supply.
"The referendum to be voted
on November 8 is on the question
of whether the people Of the
county approve the issuance Of
up to $50 million Of strictly
revenue bonds for the purchase
and construction Of q county
water system over q i5-year
period. The project now pro-
posed Is based on q preliminary
engineering report. It Is ex-
pected that some changes will be
made after the final survey. It

million water bond issue got q
boost last night from the Fairfax
Federation of Citizens ASsocia-
tions after the county health
officer warned that Occoquan
Creek eventually would have to
be abandoned as q source Of
water supply.
One of the principal argu-
ments against the bond issue has
been that the Alexandria and
Virginia water companies caA
develop an adequate reservoir on
Occoquan Greek to supply the
county. The public water sys-
TEN planned under the bond
issue program proposes to use
the Potomac River, as q source
Of supplyeithe directly from
Dalecarlia or through o new
county filtration plant.
An overwhelming vote Of sup
port for the water bond issue
came after DR.. Harold Kennedy.
county health oficer. spoke In
its behalf, and Carl d. Soresi Of
the Fairfax County Citizens
Fact Finding Committee spoke
against 1t.
"The prime need Of the county
b an adequate water supply. /"
said DR.. Kennedy.
Too Many Customers
The health officer declared that
the existing reservoir on Occo-
uuan did not have an adequate
supply in 1t last year after Alex
andria and Virginia added some
$4,000 new customers.
Alexandria and Virginia, inter-
locking companies owned by
American Waterworks. have an
nounced plans to increase the
storage capacity Of OccoQuan TO
10 billion gallons. The private
utilities have stated that the new
reservoir win be adequate to sup
ply the county's needs without
any rainfall for more than 400
days.
But DR.. Kennedy predicted
that Occoquan would have TO be
abandoned sooner or later. It
lies in q fast-growing area and
constantly would be jeopardized
By pollution from septic tanks.
siltation and even pollution from
sewage disposal plants. according
to Dr.. Kennedy.
He recalled that similar c0ndi-
tions forced abandonment Of
Lake Bancroft which formerly
was the resevoir Of the Alex
andria Water Co. Such dangers
from pollution are greatest when
q reservoir has to rely principally
on rainwater drainage. rather
than q steady fiow Of water like
the Potomac River, he. said.

Opposing View
Mr.. Soresi told more than 100
persons attending last nights
meeting the county should defer
Or reject the water bond issue
until further study.
aThe voter In Fairfax County
has not sufficient information
on this issue to vote intelligent
"" he said.
Private water companies plans
to improve their service are In
obvious opposition to the pro-
posed county water system. de-
clared Daniel r. Schimmel for
the Citizens Committee for an
Integrated Water System.
Massey Speaks
.These plans win be dropped
Il the bond issue falls" he said.
The proposed water system
can be extended to any area Of
the county whenever 1t lis eco
I,omical to do so." Fairfax
County Executive G. Carlton
Massey told the federation.
