Comments on: Water War Part 1: A Tale of Two Lawsuits http://fallschurchtimes.com/2861/the-water-war-a-tale-of-two-lawsuits-part-one/ Falls Church City's Online Community Newspaper Wed, 08 Feb 2012 12:31:06 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.3 By: LFS http://fallschurchtimes.com/2861/the-water-war-a-tale-of-two-lawsuits-part-one/comment-page-1/#comment-981 LFS Fri, 17 Apr 2009 17:43:09 +0000 http://fallschurchtimes.com/?p=2861#comment-981 Hmm.... isn't there some more context missing. As your article states, the original boundary agreement between Fairfax County and Falls Church stipulated that the city was not sell the water at a profit. Falls Church often falls back on this agreement as the basis for their argument, but seldom do they mention that Falls Church does take a profit from the service sold in Fairfax County, which is a violation of the original agreement. Additionally, there was an early act in 2001 or 2003 timeframe (I don't have the article in front of me) where Falls Church attempted to raise the rates on county services and Fairfax County threatened to take the issue to the state legislature. At that point Falls Church backed off, knowing the state wouldn't look favorably on the action. Hmm…. isn’t there some more context missing.
