The area is bordered to the north by the Orange County Landfill which lies on the north and south <br />side of Eubanks Road. The area defined as the "historic" Rogers Road neighborhood is abutted by 1 5 <br />recent and ongoing development of new homes by Habitat for Humanity. These new neighborhoods <br />are served by public water and sewer utilities provided by Orange Water and Sewer Authority <br />(OWASA). The existing water utility lines already reach out into the survey area, however not all <br />residents have connected to public water. OWASA sewer mains route through the southeast portion <br />of the neighborhood to access the Habitat for Humanity developments. Six of the properties located <br />along Purefoy Drive may soon be able to access the newly constructed sewer line. Minor extensions <br />of the sewer line in this area could serve at least 11 other properties. Homes in the majority of the <br />survey area along Rogers Road do not have access to this sewer line due to topography. <br />The terrain is gently sloping (5% or less) with broad ridges, minor drainageways, and intermittent <br />streams. Soils on the upland areas are well drained and principally in the Georgeville-Herndon <br />series with approximately 10% of the area consisting of the Appling series. These soils are generally <br />considered moderately suitable for septic systems. <br /> <br />Rogers/Eubanks Neighborhood Survey 2010 <br /> <br />.~ <br /><< - - <br />~~ ,. - - <br />` '~~; ~~ <br />- Stree[s <br />Not_Surveyed <br />Surveyed <br />CARRBORO <br />CHAPEL HILL <br />HILLSBOROUGH <br />~'- MEBANE <br />N <br />0 o.os o.t rruias <br />~,: <br />'` <br /> ~i ..
