Gamer, Knightdale, Wake Forest and Zebulont each beyond the fifteen mile radius, Project growth during the period of more than 10o%. ..This appears to be growth spillover from Raleigh, not direct growth from the Research Triangle Park development. Accepting the growth projections for each unit urban areas defined here as inside the corporate limits of a city or town, will Increase by 40%. The total population of the two counties will increase by 21% and the lead rurato l poa pulation will decrease by 17%. The increase in urban population will subsequent increase in expected municipal services. By making reasonable assumptions about service levels the services required for the additional 87,300 urban citizens can be estimated.

With the temporary dam on Cane Creek, water supply i ge County is marginal. Completion of the Cane Creek project will provide adequate water for southern Orange County for the period and release of the Eno River watCounty through er now used by OWASA will provide an adequate supply for northern Orange 1992. However, development of one or more additional sources in northern Orange County should receive immediate consideration. It should be kept in mind that a lag time of ten years may be expected between the decision to develop a reservoir and the reservoir becoming operational. For the long term, these counties, and others, must look to Jnventoried ordan Lake as an additional supply. All potential water supply sources should be i and protected for future use.
