.~ <br />Mr. Daniel C. VanderMeer <br />March 16, 1999 <br />page 2 <br />DG3Glff4 <br />with the Authority's constituent governments, to explore the use of OWASA's property as a <br />potential intake side to provide access to Jordan Lake water supplies for Chatham County while <br />still ensuring that OWASA's potential access to its Jordan Lake allocation is preserved. <br />The Orange County Board of Commissioners is ready to join all existing and potential users of <br />Jordan Lake water supplies in studying, developing and implementing effective watershed and <br />water quality protection strategies. The Orange County Board of Commissioners is similarly <br />ready to work with Chatham County to discuss, develop and implement enhanced watershed and <br />water quality protection strategies for University Lake water supplies. <br />If I may provide any additional input or staff assistance, please contact me at your earliest <br />convenience. I would appreciate your advising the Board of County Commissioners when <br />OWASA has ascertained the range of options for meeting Chatham County's water needs, <br />including their preferred option. <br />Sincerely, <br />Alice M. Gordon, Chair <br />Orange County Board of Commissioners <br />cc <br />Chatham County Board of Commissioners <br />
