Weaverville Council ponders future water service


By Matt Tate Allocating water to new cus-


tomers had become a quibbling point for the Weaverville Town Council recently. It appeared there may have been


some confusion as to how much water is at Weaverville’s disposal. Larry Sprinkle, the town’s


public works director, cleared up any gray area Tursday (Dec. 2), telling council members the Ivy River Treatment Plant had plenty of room to grow as it operated at a roughly 33 percent capacity in 2009 and closer to 40 percent on average in 2010. Te plant can produce about


1.5 million gallons of total water per day, he added.

Council members were discuss-


ing extending service to two sub- divisions, Rolling Acres and Kirk Glen, both located just outside town limits. Each is supplied water by a pri-


vate company, and, if approved, the companies would buy from the town and sell Weaverville wa- ter to the residents of each respec- tive development. Sprinkle said in the early 1990s,


plans were put into motion that would make Weaverville a prima- ry water supplier for the northern portion of the county. He said he sensed wariness on


council’s part in the recent years to make water commitments to


out-of-town areas Weaverville was not looking to annex. Mayor Al Root and council


members refuted the notion, say- ing the town was willing to extend service without consideration of annexation.


Water sales have sagged re-


cently, prompting the council to approve a 5 percent raise in rates last June. “Our water sales are not high


enough. We need to be selling more water,” Sprinkle said.


Movement on Weaver Village? Weaverville Town Manager Michael Boaz commented Tursday


(Dec. 2) that developers of the Weaver Village project have been in contact recently and appear intent on moving forward, possibly with- in a year, with construction at the corner of North Main Street and Weaver Boulevard. Te mixed-use project was granted approval in May 2008.

fumes and perfumes that gener- ally permeate from the halls of high school that his troop leaders said can sometimes interfere with a scout’s quest to achieve scouting’s highest rank. So Magley, 13, beat them to the


punch. He finished his Eagle Scout as an eighth-grader at North Bun- combe Middle School. Te Troop 15 member received


his award Sunday (Dec. 5) for plan- ning and leading the creation of a garden at NBMS. He completed the garden, named


“Peaceful Paradise,” June 5 of this year, a feat that topped off 110 hours of planning and construction on Magley’s part. Fellow students Shelby Spivey


and Antares Lance won a school- wide contest designing the garden that features raised beds, planters, benches, a pathway and a compost bin.


Te school now grows toma-


toes and herbs in the garden, and Magley said there has been talk of expanding the garden to include rain barrels and more plants. Lowe’s Home Improvement, Ed-


ward Jones, Asheville Mulch Yard, Norseman Environmental and MKC Enterprises out of Georgia were some of the companies that donated to the project. Magley said he guided about 40-45 teenagers and adults in constructing the gar- den.
