TOWN OF CARRBORO E0 V[E <br /> NORTH CAROLINA <br /> • DEC 3 1998 <br /> C <br /> November 30, 1998 <br /> Mr. Dan VanderMeer, Chair <br /> OWASA Board of Directors <br /> P.O. Box 366 <br /> Carrboro,N.C. 27510 <br /> Dear Mr. VanderMeer: <br /> At the October 1"joint meeting between the local governments and the OWASA Board, it <br /> was determined that each local government would discuss a number of issues raised by <br /> Margaret Pollard, Chair of the Chatham County Board of Commissioners. It was further <br /> determined that each jurisdiction would provide guidance to OWASA. <br /> Pursuant to that discussion, the Carrboro Board of Aldermen and I have discussed Chatham <br /> County's request for cooperation on water-related issues. <br /> First, it should be noted that the Carrboro Board of Aldermen is interested in being a good <br /> neighbor to our friends in Chatham County. We believe our future is closely connected to <br /> theirs and that it is in the best interest of all parties to cooperate whenever and wherever <br /> reasonably possible. <br /> Second, with regard to the specific issued raised at the October 1"meeting,we provide the <br /> following input for your consideration: <br /> a) Carrboro does not support the notion of OWASA extracting water from <br /> Jordan Lake for consumption by OWASA customers. <br /> b) Carrboro could support sharing water with Chatham during emergencies. <br /> c) Carrboro supports developing a policy, which would allow Chatham County, <br /> access to Jordan Lake water via OWASA'S intake rights. We acknowledge <br /> that there are any number of considerations that must be explored to ensure <br /> that the interests of all parties are secure. <br /> 301 WEST MAIN STREET. CARRBORO.
