Benedict, ext. 2592 <br />Water & Sewer Boundary Maps <br />& Explanation <br />TELEPHONE NUMBERS: <br />Hillsborough 732-8181 <br />Chapel Hill 968-4501 <br />Durham 688-7331 <br />Mebane (336)227-2031 <br />PURPOSE: To discuss the implicafions of modifications to the informal water and sewer boundary <br />maps between Hillsborough and the Rural Buffer and Upper Eno Watershed. <br />BACKGROUND: The Water and Sewer Task Force has worked on a countywide agreement to <br />address a variety of water and sewer issues. The task force has completed the. draft agreement <br />and is in the process of developing consensus to bring the agreement into an acceptable form and <br />content which can be approved by various jurisdictions and utility providers. <br />Correspondence has been sent between Hillsborough and OWASA regarding a possible change to <br />informal water and sewer service boundaries (see attached map). <br />The Dimmocks Mill area requested modification does not follow the drainage ridgeline between the <br />Upper Eno Watershed and the Upper Neuse Basin. The line follows the original line noted on the <br />map which i~ predominately east of Dimmocks Mill Road. This proposed western expansion to the <br />west side boundary also would possibly encroach into the critical area of Upper Eno. <br />The southern area requested modification affects the boundary and area of the Rural Buffer. <br />Planning Staff will report on the implication of the boundary modification request. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): Receive as a report and decide on further action if necessary. <br />g:\cra ig\a bstracts\bndryma p\2-3-00\dg <br />
