A mobile home park and a winery were among violators of county water supply regulations by not filing the proper reports.

During the recent Chautauqua County Board of Health meeting, it was announced that A6 Properties, LLC of Wellman Road Mobile Home Park in Ashville had been cited for failure to submit microbiological monitorings for the months of January, February, March and April.

Instead of agreeing to settle to pay a fine, Jessica Wuerstle with the county Department of Health reported that Steve D’Anna wanted to go before a hearing officer.

Wuerstle said no one from A6 Properties appeared at the hearing.

The Honorable Betsy S. Steger, the duly designated County Board of Health Hearing Officer, found A6 Properties in violation and fined the business $2,000.

Wuerstle told Board of Health members that the mobile home park has a water operator at the facility who has been submitting monthly operations. The water operator was not submitting the microbiological monitorings apparently because those cost money to process and there is a dispute between the business owner and the property owner as to who is responsible.

The Board of Health approved the $2,000 fine.

In a separate issue, Board of Health members were informed of an agreement to settle with Woodbury Wineries located on South Roberts Road, Fredonia for six public water supply violations.

Woodbury Wineries was cited for failure to submit monthly operation records for February and March; as well as failure to submit necessary biological monitoring for January, February, March and April.

Justin Ortel, with Woodbury Winery, paid a $2,300 fine.

Wuerstle noted Woodbury Winery has “quite a pattern of missing operation reports and bacterial sampling.”

In 2023, Woodbury Winery was fined $2,800 for missing reports.

Because the business is a winery, Wuerstle said they are monitored by the state Department of Agriculture and Markets so the county can’t pull a permit if desired. That is something that would have to be done by the state.

Wurestle said the county does inform the state of these violations.

Wurestle said if the winery wanted to, it could hire the county to do the necessary sampling. “We charge $55 to take a bacteria sample to send a staff out, collect the sample and process the sample,” she said.

There were other businesses and organizations that were cited for public water violations that agreed to settle as well.

Cutting Lanes of Route 426, Clymer and Peterson Farm of Strunk Road, Jamestown both failed to submit monthly operation records for March. They were both fined $100.

Bison Trace Luxury Camping of King Road Clymer and Busti Tap House of Busti-Sugar Grove Road, Jamestown both failed to submit monthly operation records for April. They were both fined $100.

Killa Kookies & Kreme of Fluvanna Avenue, Jamestown failed to submit necessary biological monitoring for the first quarter of 2025. They were fined $200.

Sweeteye Estates of Southwestern Drive, Jamestown failed to submit necessary biological monitoring for April. They are required to do monthly monitoring due to the number of times they have had violations for quarterly monitoring. They were fined $400.

Bemus Point Elementary School failed to submit necessary minimum PFOA, PFOS and Dioxane monitoring requirements for the first quarter of 2025. They were fined $500.

Wuerstle said the school is required to do the monitoring because they had documented cases in the past and have since installed a treatment facility. “They missed the first quarter of 2025, but they are good for the second quarter,” she added.
