Excerpts from OWASA's Long Range Water Supply Plan Paee 18 (Option 6: Purchase Water from Neiehborine Jurisdictions) Attachment 2 5 "OWASA is a party to the 2001 Water and Sewer Management, Planning and Boundary Agreement adopted by the Towns of Carrboro, Chapel HiII, Hillsborough, and Orange County. In its present form, the Agreement constrains the purchase and sale of water across jurisdictional boundaries and could impede the timely access to OWASA's Jordan Lake water supply allocation ... We will work with the signatories to make any modifications to the Agreement that maybe needed to resolve unnecessary constraints on our access to Jordan Lake. "... It is further recommended that OWASA continue to keep the Carrboro, Chapel Hill, and Orange County elected boards up to date about these efforts and to work cooperatively in amending the 2001 Water and Sewer Management, Planning, and Boundary Agreement as may be needed to ensure a reliable and sustainable future water supply." Paee 25 (Supplemental Supply and Demand Reduction Options, Key Actions) • "Work cooperatively with the elected boards of Carrboro, Chapel Hill, and Orange County to modify as necessary the 2001 Water and Sewer Management, Planning, and Boundary Agreement to better reflect the important role that water purchases may play in ensuring the long-term reliability and sustainability of our water supply." Paee 27 (Summary and Recommendations. Key Recommendation #5) 5.
