Cou:ity i'k.nacer Thompson indicated that the reservoir site selected by the Board, would need to be incorporated into the Planning Department's reco;:rmendations for the Land Use Plan. Don Cox ruestioned the justification for not going ~~ith the larcer Seven ri4ile Creek site and Fisher indicated the smaller site would satisfy the needs for X40 to 50 years. A report had not been completed on the enc:angered species or plant species. Fisher indicated that in~ormation was used from other sources: (1) the TJCQG, and (2) the Greater Hillsborough 201 Study. collies, Director of Planning, i~icated that, as a result of this report, the water quality critical area would be reduced on the Land Use Plan. Comt:~issioner F~7illhoit questioned the water limited areas and the recomr~ndation of going with a smaller reservoir in the Seven Mile Creek instead of the size that cvas originally proposed. Fisher recorr mended the first reservoir for development in the upper west fork of the Eno because it had the largest capacity of any of the sites to be developed and was the most feasible and should provide water for 25 to 30 years. This report gill go to the Planning Board on February 20. Fisher indicated that the, sEC•rer and water plan was based or. the development of Cheeks township in accordance with the proposed land use plan gravided by the Planning Department which includes the long range tester plan to a.~~er t_he sewer needs for the Efland area.

Cash outlay includes projected bands, various grants, and personal financing by the homea~vners in the area. The system will not work unless all property as:~ners have tapped onto the system within the first year. There are areas in the Land Use Plan that could be served by phase 1 of this plan. However, it would take additional pumping and additional e::tensions.

Thompson outlined the charges for the average user: (1) 518.00 a month server cost, (2) tap on fee, and (3) fee for going from the stubout point to the house. The tap on fee and stubout'fee would be used to create a reserve for operating cost and to pay back the general fund (585,000) for the loan for the project. The per month rate structure will incorporate the cost of maintenance and the debt service: Commissioner Aiarshall requested the nur:t~er of homes that have septic tanks which are in good ~•~ori:ing order.
