1�-3 - C115- ADDENDUM -AUGUST 28, 1885 PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE PROPOSED PUBLIC WATER& SEWER SERVICE BOUNDARIES In June of 1994, a Task Force, comprised of representatives of the governing boards of Orange County, Chapel Hill, Carrboro, Hillsborough, and OWASA, was created to develop a proposal defming water and sewer service areas based on broad policy objectives of the various boards and intergovernmental planning agreements. In December of 1994, the Task Force completed its original charge, including a map depicting proposed boundaries for water and sewer service provision by Orange County, the Town of Hillsborough, and OWASA; and a list of objectives associated with implementation of the service area boundaries. These objectives include the following. • Continue to support orderly growth and efficient provision of water services. • Continue to promote local control of land use policies;and reinforce through appropriate water and sewer service area boundary agreements. • Delineate utility districts and interest areas that reflect the approximate water and sewer capabilities of the respective utilities for a 50-year planning period. • Promote equity for all parties,and formulate service area and other agreements so that benefitting parties pay their fair proportional shares of operating and capital costs incurred by the entity serving that district or interest area. • Insure that appropriate public health and environmental needs will be met and responsible entities identified. 0 Insure that the integrity of interconnections for emergency water transfers is not compromised by service area boundary delineations and supporting agreements. Prior to responding to the Task Force proposal, the Board of County Commissioners wishes to receive citizen comment on the proposed service area boundaries as well as the supporting objectives.
