Under population projections at the time, this growth was expected to include nearly 12,000 new residents by the. year 2010, and associated civic, business, and commercial ventures. Due to environmental constraints associated with the protection of • the University Lake water supply to the south and west of Carrboro, growth was expected to occur primarily to the north and east of the town, areas where public water and sewer service could be extended.
