This item was heard at the February 27, 2012 quarterly public hearing. <br />Presenter: Kevin Lindley, Staff Engineer <br />Kevin Lindley: Reviewed abstract. <br />Larry Wright: I am thinking of the Economic Development District where we would possibly be sharing sewer resources with Durham, <br />how does this interface with that? <br />Kevin Lindley: One of the provisions in the amendment is essentially if you look at A. 1.c if the property is in a designated public sewer <br />service area, then they would be required to connect. The idea in the economic development zone is that Orange County will not be <br />installing a sewer line to every doorstep but a main backbone system from which developers could connect to alleviate some major <br />costs. In those areas, projecting into the future, we would designate that area as a public sewer service area so they would connect <br />based on that. <br />Tony Blake: Wasn't Larry's question more to if we are following Mebane's rules to the west, are we going to follow Durham's rules to <br />the east or come up with our own or are we going to be consistent? <br />Kevin Lindley: In all cases, the presiding sewer service ordinance for that area would be the one you would follow. All the sewer use <br />ordinances and policies would still apply in Durham or Mebane. I haven't investigated Durham's policies but it would be the same sort <br />of thing. That extension of Durham's system into Orange County is still Durham's system so all the sewer use ordinances and policies <br />that go along with that would still apply and this would be a layer on top of that. <br />
