Orange County Watershed Protection <br /> February 17, 1994 <br /> Page 3 <br /> not located on the resident's own property, especially if the easement exists on an undeveloped <br /> parcel or on a remote portion of a developed lot not normally seen or encountered during day to <br /> day homeowner activities. It has certainly been OWASA's experience that some of the most <br /> intractable utility problems are ones in which private sewer lines are located on someone else's <br /> property. <br /> To the extent that offsite easements result in increased numbers of unresolved septic system <br /> problems, I believe that the potential water quality risks represented by the County's proposal <br /> outweigh the potential benefits of design flexibility. Accordingly, it is my opinion that the current <br /> prohibition for offshe septic easements should be left in place for the Cane Creek and University <br /> Lake watersheds. <br /> Edward A.
