John Forrest # lr + 4—'700 . - June 3, 1985 Mr. Don Willhoit, Chairman Orange County Commissioners 106 E. Margaret Lane Hillsborough, N. C. 27278 Dear Don: At its meeting on May 28th, the Town Board considered the list of mod- ifications to the proposed Efland Sewer Line Agreement which Commissioner , Lynwood Brown and I discussed with your Board on May 24th. I . The Town Board accepted the proposed terms in principle, subject to review of a draft contract, with the following two changes: (1) With respect to the 16 potential County customers in Orange Heights, the Town wants those customers to become Town customers on the effective date of annexation, rather than on July 1 after the date of annexation. It is felt that as citizens of Hillsborough, those residents should have all the same services as other citizens, including sewer rates. Because sewer service charges rather than property taxes are pertinent here, we feel that it is only fair for those residents to have the benefit of in—town rates immediately upon annexation. This change affects modifications 4b and 7 in the May 20th list; (2) The Town also desires to accomplish a complete transfer of the 16 customers in Orange Heights. The Town proposes that upon the County reaching a total of 228 customers for the project (either east or west of the Eno River), the 16 Orange Heights customers (or as many as are connected to the County line) be completely transferred to the Town. The Town would handle billing, would collect and retain all monthly service,: payments, but in turn, would not charge the County for the cost of treatment.
