Promoting a Reasonable and Balanced Approach to Quality Land Planning

Support Non-Conventional Septic Systems

The Board of Supervisors and their environmentalist friends are at it again.

The liberals on the Board, with the support of the Virginia Onsite Wastewater Recycling Association (VOWRA), have found another excuse to chip away at our property rights. This time they are going after something unglamorous - our septic systems.

If their plans to restrict "non-conventional septic systems" go through, they will be planting the seeds for government control of future communities' sewage systems. Even worse, these future will be using inferior technologies... in our best interest of course.

Help us stand against the Board's power grab by contacting them today at bos@loudoun.gov, and tell them to stop trying to regulate non-conventional septic systems.

Citizens for Property Rights is a grass roots organization that is a broad-based coalition of Loudoun County citizens, farmers, homeowners, property owners, local businessmen, lenders, professionals, retired people and merchants. It is comprised of Democrats, Republicans and Independents from both Western and Eastern Loudoun. (We are one County.)

Citizens for Property Rights believes the previous Loudoun County Board of Supervisors denied property and development rights under its proposed growth initiatives.

Purchasing property rights, rezoning, and easements are the County's proposed tools- all of which will reduce property values.

These measures directly violate the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments.

Citizens for Property Rights will promote reasonable, balanced and quality land planning and use regulations that are fair and equitable to all property owners. Citizens for Property Rights will oppose any downzoning.

Citizens for property Rights will promote educational and informational programs about land-use options and alternatives and their effect on the public.

It will participate in the County process to help assure that all citizens' property rights are upheld.

CPR remembers Haseltine Shockey: in 2003 she tells WUSA News how downzoning would take away her dream for her farm.
