ITEMS FOR DECISION <br /> 19, UPDATE ON THE WATER SUPPLY AND USAGE IN THE UPPER ENO RIVER BASIN <br /> (A complete copy of the report is in the permanent agenda file in the Clerk's <br /> office.) <br /> Ken Thompson presented an overview of the report. At the <br /> Environmental Management meeting to be held in December, the level of Instream <br /> flow requirement will be discussed. In the short term, action needs to be <br /> taken by the Board with regard to issues relating to Lake Orange. Orange- <br /> Alamance Corporation needs to address those issues relating to Corporation <br /> Lake and the Town of Hillsborough needs to address those issues relating to <br /> Lake Ben Johnson. <br /> In answer to a concern from Commissioner Marshall, Thompson <br /> indicated that raising Lake Orange two feet would not have any impact on the <br /> property in that area. <br /> Commissioner Marshall stressed the need for a task force with <br /> representatives from OWASA, Orange-Alamance, Orange County and Hillsborough to <br /> review the recommendations in the report and take into account what DEM may <br /> decide at their meeting in December and come up with a short range proposal. <br /> Thompson clarified that at the present time 2.2 million gallons is <br /> available with 1.9 being used leaving 300,000 as the excess capacity per day. <br /> With modifications as outlined in the report, a total capacity of 3.5 or 4 <br /> million gallons per day would be available. <br /> Chair Willhoit noted that policy decisions need to be made in order <br /> to implement those provisions which would provide for the maximum output from <br /> the existing reservoirs. Policies need to be worked out whereby Orange <br /> Alamance will seek other water supplies and not increase the transfer out of <br /> county which is done at the present time. Also, the Town of Hillsborough <br /> needs to consider policies for establishing a rate structure which will <br /> provide enough capital to increase the future water supply as needed. <br /> It was the consensus of the Board to reactivate the Water Resource <br /> Committee and to formulate and bring back to the Board the policy issues that <br /> need to be addressed immediately. <br /> 8.
