15 8 the activity nodes as presently defined. Transportation, Mr. Luce added, is con- venient in these areas, being at or near both I-85 and US 70. Planning Board member Kizer asked how many gallons of water per day were supplied by existing reservoirs to Orange County. Mr. Luce replied approximately four million gallons per day by existing reservoirs and Cane Creek, if built,would supply-ten million gallons per day and Seven Mile Creek, if built, an additional six and a half million gallons per day.
