10. 3 Designate prime reservoir sites, based on an evaluation of water resources throughout the County, to protect those areas from adverse development impacts and to insure that inapprop- riate restrictions are not placed on a large proportion of the land area and land resources of the County. 10.4 Support programs which help to protect water quality, such as the Soil Conservation Service and. Sedimentation and Erosion Control Programs. 10.5 Encourage efforts to monitor the quality of water in Orange County streams. 10.6 Cooperate with other public and private bodies in promoting water quality legislation and programs. 10.7 Support educational efforts which serve to increase citizen understanding of water quality problems and the need for water conservation. 10.8 Commercial and industrial uses are inappropriate in the Univer- sity Lake watershed. 10.9 With the exception of Activity Node HB-52 commercial and in- dustrial uses are inappropriate within the Proposed Cane Creek watershed. 10.10 Direct urban development pressures in the 1-85/U.S. 70 corr- idor in the Upper Eno watershed in. Cheeks Township to the McGowan Creek sub-basin and away from the Seven Mile Creek watershed in accordance with the Water Resources Task Force recommendation. GOAL ELEVEN: Adequate and appropriate sewer disposal facilities for all current and future residents. 11.1 Identify the type of sewage disposal facilities appropriate for an area as a function of the magnitude of present and future demand; the distribution of users; and the capacity of the natural environment to absorb the impact. 11.2 Identify service by centralized water and sewer systems (Towns of Hillsborough and Mebane, Orange-Alamance Water Systems Incorporated and Orange Water and Sewer Authority) as most appropriate at the higher-density levels which occur in the Urban and Transition Areas. 11.3 Develop a process to ensure that buyers of property in the County are fully informed about the on-site sewage disposal characteristics of the sites on their property. 11.4 Allow on-site disposal in low-density and rural areas where soil conditions are acceptable. In rural areas with unac- ceptable soils, state-approved on-site sewage disposals systems will be required.
