acquire the approval from not only its own Board of Directors (fhis has already been accomplished) but also the approval of the elected boards of Carrboro, Chapel Hill, and Orange County. However, in terms of this particular situation, OWASA staff believes that the potential negative effects of Durham's request have already been offset by the fact that Durham has previously agreed to accept wastewater flows and nutrient loads from Orange County's Piney Mountain Subivision (which has almost the exact same number of residential customers). OWASA requested that this item be included on the agenda for the September 20, 2007 meeting of the Assembly of Governments. The proposal was discussed at that meeting. The substance of those discussions is reflected in the attached minutes. The OWASA Board strongly supports the request of Durham and is now asking the governing boards of Orange County, Town of Chapel Hill and .Town of Carrboro to consider and formally authorize OWASA to provide this service. FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no financial impact to either Orange County or OWASA customers. Capital costs will be paid by the developer/City of Durham and sewer service costs will be paid through the City of Durham by the homeowners of Bleinheim Woods. RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the BOCC authorize OWASA to accept wastewater flow from the Blenheim Woods subdivision.
