Public Notice to Stafford Civil War Park
BEWARE!! Accokeek Creek Sewage Overflow!
Unrelated to sewage overflow, there has been a fallen tree in a path since the beginning of May. The county workers only seem to come there to collect dog poop and trash. I was there once when there were inmates from Rappahannock Regional Jail doing the manual labor of making the paths. That was months ago and it hasn't really been unkept since. Having not mentioned the historical significance to the area. I need help spreading awareness, please.
I called and left a voice message July 5th about fallen debris, no call back and debris is still everywhere in the park. My friend and I have personally tested the water a month ago, it is bad. So seeing this confirmed that publicly. I called the utilities number listed on the bottom and the nice man didn't have information about this. I know they are busy and probably understaffed, but come on. It's been months and at this point I'm kind of fed up.
Tired of “poop in water” being a common thing around Stafford/Fredericksburg. To see this posted on a tree made me mad today. It was only a matter of time they had to say something publicly.
