11 <br />INTRODUCTION <br />The Jordan Lake Partnership (JLP) has been working collaboratively since 2009 to plan for the <br />future of the Triangle Region's water supply. They have developed a draft Triangle Regional <br />Water Supply Plan ( TRWSP) to meet the 50 -year water needs of the thirteen partners listed <br />below: <br />• Town of Apex <br />• Town of Cary <br />• Chatham County (North water system) <br />• City of Durham <br />• Town of Hillsborough <br />• Town of Holly Springs <br />• Town of Morrisville <br />• Orange Water and Sewer Authority (OWASA) <br />• Orange County <br />• Town of Pittsboro <br />• City of Raleigh and Merger Partners <br />• City of Sanford <br />• Wake County (Research Triangle Park - South) <br />The draft Triangle Regional Water Supply Plan has been provided to DWR by the JLP as an <br />accompanying document to this Jordan Lake Allocation request. The TRWSP details the <br />planning process used to develop the regional water supply plan, and the preferred regional <br />alternative includes projected requests for Jordan Lake water supply allocation by several of the <br />JLP members. This introduction briefly presents the preferred regional alternative, thus <br />providing the regional context of Orange County's allocation request. <br />As part of the regional water supply planning process, JLP members collaborated to develop <br />demand projections, identify water source options, construct and evaluate alternatives, and <br />present a mutually- supported plan for meeting the future water supply needs of the Triangle <br />Region. In doing so, JLP members supported each other through a careful peer review of each <br />other's demand projections; through shared information about conservation and water use <br />efficiency efforts; through inter - utility infrastructure planning efforts (e.g. a regional <br />distribution system interconnection study and hydraulic model and a feasibility study for a new <br />intake and water treatment plant on the western side of Jordan Lake); and by expanding the <br />pool of potential water supply source options. <br />The 2060 future water service areas of the JLP members are shown in Figure 1. <br />Page 1 2 Orange County 2014 Jordan Allocation Request <br />
