Water and Power in Crozet – Unconfirmed Updates

Two unconfirmed rumors … take them for what they are ….

via Facebook:

Just off the phone with ACSA, no boil required, AND….the road to the station has finally been cleared and they are moving trucks loaded with diesel to refuel their generators. Translation….the conserve notice is going to be lifted shortly.

Update 1:02pm 2 July – @CBS19: ACSA is removing the request for Crozet residents to limit their water usage–power and fuel issues have been resolved.

And via email in response to an email to a friend in which I asked “Does Western Ridge have power?”:

Kind of. The back half of the neighborhood does, but not the front half, so we’re still out. This is hearsay, but one of our neighbors told me that her friend stopped to talk to a Dominion guy working outside yesterday. He told her that there was a huge tree that went down near King Family, which caused extensive damage – they’re having to replace not only multiple power lines, but several telephone/electric poles as well. Supposedly he said that if the repair went smoothly, we’d be back up sometime between today and Wednesday; if they run into problems, it could be as late as Saturday.

I’m not sure how the connections are mapped, but you can kind of see a straight-ish line of outage going from the King Family area, through part of Old Trail, Crozet Ave @ Mudhouse & JABA building, down 240 to Western Ridge, etc… so if what I heard is true, I guess we must all somehow be tied back to that issue @ KFV.

I do see several Crozet locations listed on Dominion’s work schedule for today, but I’m keeping my expectations low.

Via Facebook:

New work locations for today say Crozet Ave…good sign hopefully

Thanks Crozet

Thanks for your patience, your friendliness, your helping-each-other-out, for (mostly) treating the stoplights that are out as four-way stops and for not freaking out about a bit of power outage. That being said, I’d really like to have power back soon.

Dominion Power is pretty active on Twitter, by the way.

Boil your Water, Crozet — Maybe

Via twitter:

@jasonsee – Just got off the phone with Service Authority and they confirmed a boil water notice until further. #crozet

Assuming you have power. Or gas. Or charcoal. Or fire of some sort.

Update: @dp_citybeat is working on confirming this:

@realcrozetva @jasonsee I’m checking on the rumored boil water notice in Crozet. They’ve sent nothing to the media to that effect.

Just a reminder: Twitter is infinitely better than Facebook or blogs for up-to-the-minute news and information. Follow RealCrozetVA on Twitter.

Update:

Via @dp_citybeat — @realcrozetva @jasonsee Gary O’Connell, ACSA head, says there’s no boil water notice. They’re just asking folks to conserve.

@jasonsee– @dp_citybeat @realcrozetva Worst customer service because that’s clearly not what I was told when I called.

Ellen — @jasonsee @dp_citybeat @realcrozetva she clearly stated that she was an answering abc and was saying it to Cover her ass

Update 2: Lee Catlin sent me a quick email:

No boiled water restrictions in Albemarle County

Personally, I’d be boiling my water. If I had power.

Crozet Fireworks Canceled

Via twitter:

#Crozet Fireworks are cancelled for tonight. Organizer says Fire Marshall won’t issue a permit due to safety concerns.

Apparently the Fire Marshall “feels Park not safe venue & fire departments already maxed out.”

While this sucks, it doesn’t take away from the tireless work all those put forth in trying to put on this celebration. Thank you!

And via email:

“Just wanted to confirm that the fireworks are cancelled, not to be re-scheduled.

The fire marshall won’t issue a permit for safety reasons – make sense. Crozet Park is not a safe venue
and the fire and rescue departments are maxed out and have been for days.

We really appreciate your willingness to participate. We’ll be in touch in 9 months
to start planning for the 2013 Crozet Independence Day celebration.

Please get in touch if you have questions or concerns. “
