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