Proposed Wastewater Transfer from Durham <br />September 7, 2007 <br />Page 3 <br />adjoin one another) where Durham anticipates requesting OWASA's acceptance of wastewater <br />flows. <br />Attachment C is a letter from Durham stating that the request being made for Blenheim Woods is <br />the only location where Durham anticipates requesting that OWASA accept wastewater flow <br />from any portions of their service area. <br />CLOSING <br />For the reasons noted in Durham's request, the fact that OWASA has an existing agreement with <br />Durham for treating wastewater from the Piney Mountain Subdivision, because there are no <br />adverse implications for OWASA customers and because it is important that all water/sewer <br />utilities in the region mutually support one another when it is feasible to do so (it is important to <br />remember that Durham was standing by to provide OWASA with finished water if it had been <br />necessary in the aftermath of the August 8, 2007 fire at our Jones Ferry Road Water Treatment <br />Plant), OWASA staff will recommend, again, at the September 13, 2007 OWASA Board <br />meeting that the OWASA Board approve and support Durham's proposal. If. however, the <br />OWASA Board either disapproves Durham's request or fails to take action on the request <br />pending a need to gather additional information or for other reasons, an immediate request will <br />be made to pull this agenda item from the September 20, 2007 Assembly of Governments <br />meeting a enda. <br />The OWASA Board and staff appreciate the Assembly of Government's willingness to consider <br />this item. <br />Very truly yours, <br />C.~- <br />Ed Kerwin <br />Executive Director <br />Attachments <br />c: Mr. Roger Stancil, Chapel Hill Town Manager (w/attachments) <br />Mr. Steven Stuart, Carrboro Town Manager (w/attachments) <br />OWASA Board of Directors (w/attachments) <br />Mason Crum, OWASA Director of Engineering and Planning (w/attachments) <br />
