Lake Orange has a rated capacity of 2.6 mgd. Water demand can ; <br /> be- as high as 4.4 mgd (.6 used by Orange Alamance, 2.1. by Hillsborough ,s= <br /> and the OWASA, and 1.7 in unmet need for instream flow). <br /> 1992 Besides the current deficit of 1.8 mgd projected growth will require <br /> an additional 1.62 mgd for Hillsborough and .54 by Orange Alamance (a F, <br /> total of 3.96 additional capacity not counting the OWASA need. The <br /> outcome of efforts to build Cane Creek to full size will determine what, if <br /> any, growth factor to plan for the OWASA). <br /> Projected need is a new reservoir to provide a 30 year safe yield of 5.T6 <br /> mgd or above. Preliminary study shows that it could be constructed on <br /> Seven Mile Creek, Corporation Lake or the Upper West Fork of the Eno. <br /> Estimated cost (in current dollar value) at the latter locations is $12.63 <br /> million. <br /> SEWER: <br /> Orange County's -only involvement in sewers is a recent contract with <br /> U.S. Farmers Home Administration to construct an outfall line to serve <br /> Efland School and the adjacent properties. The sewage will be treated at <br /> the Hillsborough plant. <br /> Estimated Cost - Phase 1 $1.15 million <br /> 1.54 <br /> Estimated Cost - Phase 11 <br />
