Flower sale will help Culpeper library

The Friends of the Culpeper County Library will hold its annual pansy sale in front of the library on Saturday, beginning at 9 a.m.

Pansies and other flowers are grown locally at Ebenezer Heights Greenhouse. Pansies will cost $3 for a packet of six and $16 for a flat of 36.

All proceeds will benefit the Friends of the Library, which supports the library in numerous ways.

Water company will pay Caroline more

The State Corporation Commission ordered the Ladysmith Water Co. to pay Caroline County nearly $20,000 more towards a $123,000 overdue water bill.

Those orders came on Tuesday, just two weeks after the SCC ordered the water company that serves the residents of the Lake Caroline community to pay $75,000.

The county has been providing water to that community since April 2009. However, it had not been paid since September 2009 until the first SCC order was issued, said County Administrator Percy Ashcraft.

Lake Caroline residents feared they would lose water after Caroline issued a termination of service notice to the water company on Feb. 22 after continued late notices remained unpaid, Ashcraft said. Residents had been paying their monthly bills to the company on time.

The SCC's most recent order directs that $19,949.80 must be paid by April 15. If paid, the total amount received by the county under the SCC's orders would be close to $95,000.

Ashcraft said he is hopeful that they will be able to resolve all remaining payment issues with the Company and anticipates receiving timely payments from the company for water service in the future.
