Lake Barcroft - any residents?

[Anonymous]

My 15 year old went to an end of school small gathering. Apparently they went down to the lake and canoed and swam in it. When I picked him up, I was nauseated by the sight of that water! Went online to find that they've had FOUR raw sewage spills in that lake, latest being 2015, and residents have had issues with e-coli. County knew about the spills, didn't notify residents right away. Apparently a resident who's dd got sick, took it upon herself to test the water, only to THEN have the county come clean..

SO not ok

Wondering if anyone lives there and can update me as to issues with water? Having my kid wash in Hibicleans (probably overkill, but the pharmacist was horrified and told me that was what to do).

Another scary thing is the schools and outside neighborhood

Yes… my daughter was at an end of school party there this past week. Lake Barcroft is not what it used to be, neighborhood and all and you would be wise to avoid parties there in the future. I know my DD will not attend anymore :{

A realtor tried to get me to move there. $1 million for terrible schools and a lake you can't even use a boat on. No thanks.

I have him scrubbing off in Hibiclense. I can't believe they submerged in that gross lake. I told him not to - he fell in out of a boat. So disgusted.

Did your DD swim? Our kids went on the boats, apparently, no adult, two lifeguards who let them get out of site, no life-preservers. They fell out of boats, submerged in that filthy water. UGH!

Sad. That was a nice area not that long ago.

I'd still pick it over some place like Pimmit Hills.

Now I have brain-eating amoeba fears. Just got finished having one diagnosed with bacterial pneumonia.

I need valium IV drip ... stat!

I think we've established it's not a good neighborhood for ugly racists or paranoid germophobes. Otherwise it's quite nice.

I've never been there but you people sound so mean and snobby. People live there and I'm sure love it.

She didn't swim but was pushed in, ugh! But she got out quickly and showered shortly thereafter and don't forget the alcohol ear drops because that is where the infections can fester if in dirty water ….. never again!

If you are aware of what that part of Virginia used to be like in the old days, and by that I mean the 90's, then you are rightfully sad. It had declined in a not great way and challenge anyone throwing around the race card to meet me there on a Friday or Saturday evening and walk through the surrounding neighborhood without your precious little cell phone in hand … that is a "you tube" video that would go viral in wonderful ways … stop calling everyone a racist and a hater because they observe the truth and live in reality …. really, stop. It is getting old ….
