Thereâs good news for King George County officials regarding the ongoing water pollution at Fairview Beach.
The contamination in the Potomac River isnât caused by human waste entering the water, according to a study by the Hampton Roads Sanitation District. That means the issue thatâs plagued the beachfront community for more than a decade is not the result of leaks in private septic tanks at the nearby trailer parkâa long-held theoryâor county-owned sewer lines.
âWe know our system is tight and not contributingâ to the ongoing problem, said Jonathon Weakley, director of the King George County Service Authority.
