Two open space lots,each containing a site for a community well, are proposed to be owned by the homeowners association. The zoning district is R-1 Rural Residential and Lower Eno Protected Watershed. The Land Use Plan designation is Rural Residential. Wastewater Disposal Individual on-site septic systems are proposed. Environmental Health has indicated that each of the proposed lots contain soils suitable for septic disposal. Water Supply A community water system is proposed. The Preliminary Plan shows the location of two well easements. Both of the wells are located within common open space area to be owned by the homeowners association. Community wells are regulated by the Public Water Supply Section of the NC Division of Environmental Health(DEH), which administers the NC "Rules Governing Public Water Systems". These rules include regulations pertaining to both surface water and groundwater withdrawals, and apply to all public water systems (e.g Town of Hillsborough and OWASA), and to all community water systems with 15 or more connections. Community wells must be operated by a private operator certified by the North Carolina Water Treatment Facility Certification Board.
