THE FOLLOWING <br /> SECTIONS WERE NOT REVIEWED BY THE TASK FORCE. <br /> Language shown in bold italic or strikethrough text in the following sections <br /> are changes made by the Task Force at its May meeting. <br /> Orange County Long-Term Interest Area: The remaining areas of <br /> Orange County planning jurisdiction (excluding the Orange County Long- <br /> Term Service Area) within which public water and/or sewer <br /> extensions are not anticipated to be made, but if such services are to <br /> be provided, Orange County will be responsible for coordinating the <br /> provision of utility service. <br /> Development within the Orange County Long-Term Interest Area is <br /> not projected to occur at urban densities, and therefore, by official <br /> plans and policy statements, public water and sewer services shall <br /> generally be prohibited in this area - except County Transition Areas <br /> and Economic Development Districts, where service is currently <br /> permitted under the Land Use Element of the Orange County <br /> Comprehensive Plan. Individual on-site and small-scale alternative <br /> water supply and wastewater treatment systems will be the primary <br /> methods of meeting the water and sewer service needs of existing <br /> and future development outside of the County Transition Areas and <br /> Economic Development Districts. <br /> Orange County will not extend public water and sewer service into <br /> the rural portions of said area (outside of Transition Areas and <br /> Economic Development Districts) unless said action is required to <br /> wateF and seweF sewiGe exleRSiGR is Ret plaRRed t9 GGGUF, eXre" <br /> address public health emergencies not otherwise correctable and/or to <br /> provide service to an "essential public facility". <br /> Accountable for the utility needs within its own Interest Area: <br /> Financially and technically capable of providing water and sewer service <br /> to public health emergencies or other identified public facility needs, as <br /> defined by the parties of the boundary agreement.
