Box 8181 <br />Hillsborough, N.C. 27278 <br />Subject: Buckhorn Village <br />Dear Mr. Benedict: <br />As requested, we are pleased to provide the following information in regard to the subject <br />project: <br />1. Utility Service Agreement between Mebane and Orange County <br />By Agreement dated March 1, 2004, the City of Mebane and Orange County <br />entered into a Utility Service Agreement providing for the extension of water and <br />sewer service to I-85/Buckhorn Rd. Economic Development District. The <br />agreement indicates that water and sewer extensions will be made at the expense <br />of Orange County with approvals by the City of Mebane. The agreement has <br />worked successfully with the recent extension of water and sewer service to the <br />new Gravely School on West Ten Rd. <br />,. 2. Allocation and treatment capacity <br />The City of Mebane has a 2.5 MGD wastewater treatment plant (with existing <br />flows in the 1.0 MGD range) and our plant has capacity available for approved <br />users. Based on our understanding of the Gravely School project, the city <br />approved a design flow of 100,000 gallons per day (average flow) when the <br />Gravely pump station was designed for that service area. The school is currently <br />only using approximately 3,000 gallons per_ day; therefore, the Gravely pump <br />station appears to have sufficient capacity available to accommodate the first <br />phase of the project. The project .engineer has provided some preliminary <br />estimates that indicate the project may generate approximately 200,000 gallons <br />Chartered in 1881 <br />
