| Participant No. | Participant Comment |
| Other Utilities (Gas, Pipelines, Cable, Electric) | |
| Telecommunications Towers: (see also Environment: Ridgelines) | |
| Trash & Waste Management: Collection & Recycling | |
|
|
Mandatory recycling/provide containers - pickup services |
|
|
More governmental responsibility for providing recycling |
|
|
recycle more |
|
|
Emphasis on keeping the environment healthy - recycling, 'no pollution' policies |
|
|
Mandatory recycling & green building codes |
|
|
Strict recycling regulations |
|
|
Public trash pickup |
|
|
The types of garbage that are put in landfills controlled better. |
|
|
Trash collection or any of above could be done by a use fee & pay for themselves (could be a small monthly fee. |
| Water & Sewer: Cooperative Efforts & Agreements | |
|
|
Areas work cooperatively for water |
|
|
VA Tech, Blacksburg & Christiansburg - co-op for water and sewage |
|
|
Cooperation on water |
|
|
Better water & sewer |
|
|
Work together on water & sewage |
|
|
VA Tech, Blacksburg & Christiansburg - co-op for water and sewage |
|
|
Cooperation to get Mont Co to be part of Water Authority |
|
|
Cooperation between the county and agencies to preserve th quality of water. |
| Water & Sewer: Location of | |
|
|
Water & Sewer placement |
|
|
Limit the extension of water and sewer lines only to areas specifically targeted for growth |
|
|
Extend sewage facilities throughout the county |
|
|
Extend water lines throughout the county |
|
|
Develop regional water facilities for communities farther from New River |
|
|
Limit extension of H2O & sewer to areas having serious problems and those financed by developers |
|
|
expand water/sewer services |
|
|
Provide Bburg City or other water to rural developments |
|
|
Have the County take over the Bburg Country Club sewer system and expand it |
|
|
Make county water available to Ironto area residents |
|
|
expand county water & sewer to meet growing development |
|
|
Extend water & sewage facilities |
|
|
develop long range plans for extending water & sewage systems |
|
|
Water/sewage (public) should not be exteded to residential/agri areas. This is just an "excuse" for future development. |
| Water & Sewer: Environmental Concerns: Water Quality (see Environment: Groundwater) | |
|
|
Protect and encourage better drinking water |
|
|
Increased protection of all watershed/public water |
| Water & Sewer: Environmental Concerns: Septic Systems (see Environment: Septic Systems) | |
| Water & Sewer: Groundwater Quality & Protection (see Environment: Water Quality) | |
| Water & Sewer: Levels & Quality of Service | |
|
|
Increase sewer services - increase |
|
|
Increase sewage treatment plants (size or #) |
|
00211 |
Utilities improved |
|
|
well planned PSA plans |
|
|
Basic water & sewer services to attract industrial, commercial, and residential growth |
|
|
sewer updates/upgrades to preserve water quality (sewer treatment plants) |
|
|
PSA needs help |
|
|
County should manage sewer systems |
|
|
Improve water, sewage, roads |
| Water & Sewer: Alternative Systems | |
|
|
Use decentralized water water treatment systems where possible |
|
|
Rural areas need alternative system(s) to septic systems. |
|
|
use EPA-approved decentralized sewer systems (recirc media filtration,deep cell lagoon) |
|
|
Mont. Co. sewage plant overflows & depletion of aquifers; solution; decentralized wastewater systems |
|
|
decentralized sewage control |
|
|
Use of decentralized up to date sewage treatment systems |
|
|
Keep open mind for new strategies, ie. Decentralized septic |
|
|
Decentralized sewers |
|
|
Decentralized water systems |
|
|
Use of decentralized sewage treatement |
|
|
We should investigate water and sewage treatment facilitation before we expand areas outside C'burg & Blacksburg eg Riner |
