STAFFORD — There are 2,089 homes planned to be built in Stafford County all needing wells. With some wells underperforming in a rural section of the county, officials ordered a study of the available groundwater residents in those homes would use.

In 2016, residents who lived along Mount Olive Road in the western portion of the county voiced concerns that their wells were slow to recharge. They also voiced concerns about potential impacts to their wells from a nearby developing subdivision at the time.


From the Stafford sheriff’s office: 

On May 15, 2018, at approximately 10:53 p.m., Deputy Steven Kellam observed a gray vehicle turn left onto Leeland Road from Deacon Road. The vehicle then drove over the curb to pull into a 7-11 convenience store. The deputy followed the vehicle as it parked in front of the store.
