She continued that she felt <br /> this is a health issue and she could not support <br /> the motion unless it excluded University Lake <br /> and Cane Creek Watersheds. <br /> VOTE: 7 in favor. <br /> 2 opposed (Brown - as a health issue, supports <br /> the recommendation of the Town of Carrboro, the <br /> OWASA Board that this should not apply to Cane <br /> Creek Watershed out of respect for the ongoing <br />
