The extension of sewer would involve expansion of a gravity Located in aeons which are outfall line along Cates Creek that currently stops at I-85. This line would need to be or could be r'esso"y and extended southward along Cates Creek to the site. This extension is consistent with the efficiently served by:: Town's 50-Year Master Sewer Service Plan, and would considerably shorten future sewer centralized public swviees extension to the Economic Development District at I-40/Old 86. Water service would be and utilities♦ provided via linkage to one of two existing 12-inch lines that exist at the Old Mill Business Park across Cates Creek to the northwest, or from Wildwood subdivision to the northeast. Both lines are eventually planned to be looped for efficient service. Public safety service would be provided by the Sheriffs Department and the Rural Orange Volunteer Fire Department. If the site becomes part of the Town via annexation, police service would be provided by the Town of Hillsborough.
