Cape Charles accepts for consideration a proposal from AQUA Virginia

October 11, 2020 by Wayne Creed 3 Comments

On October 9, 2020 the Town of Cape Charles accepted for consideration an unsolicited conceptual proposal from AQUA Virginia, Inc. to acquire and operate the Town’s water and wastewater assets.  This proposal was offered in compliance with the Virginia Public-Private Education Facilities and Infrastructure Act (PPEA) and locally adopted PPEA guidelines.

 The Town of Cape Charles will begin evaluation of this proposal to determine if it is in the best interest of the Town to advance the concept to the detailed phase of the PPEA.  The Town also encourages additional unsolicited proposals to acquire and operate these assets.  All such competing proposals must conform to the PPEA, the Town’s PPEA Guidelines, and be received in the office of the Town Manager no later than 4:30 p.m. on November 30, 2020.

 The Town reserves the right to negotiate an interim and/or comprehensive agreement with this or another proposer responding to this notice, as outlined in the Town’s PPEA Guidelines.   Should this concept be advanced, a full public process will follow.

    I live outside of Cape Charles, so don’t have a vested interest. However, suggest the good people of Cape Charles look at how the Downtown and Midtown tunnel Public-Private deal worked out for the people who have to live with it every day. These companies are in business to make money, which should be no surprise, but you need to ask yourself if you want to turn over a vital service to an outside entity. Also look at their reviews on Google. Depending on the location: 1 star, 1.3 star, 3 star ratings.

    Well done – give people something to think about, and then, how to go about doing it, like checking ratings, which is so easy to do on the internet.

    Water Privatization: Facts and Figures

    Privatizing local water and sewer systems usually does far more harm than good for our communities.

    Water privatization – when private corporations buy or operate public water utilities – is often suggested as a solution to municipal budget problems and aging water systems. Unfortunately, this more often backfires, leaving communities with higher rates, worse service, job losses, and more.
