Mr <br /> 044 <br /> ORANGE COUNTY <br /> BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS Action Agenda <br /> ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT Item No. (11 ]! <br /> Meeting Date: JANUARY 21, 1986 <br /> SUBJECT: WATER AND SEWER GRANT FUNDS (SENATE BILL 2) <br /> DEPARTMENT: COUNTY MANAGER PUBLIC HEARING: Yes X No <br /> ATTACHMENT(S) : INFORMATION CONTACT: MANAGER'S <br /> OFFICE, X501 <br /> PROPOSED PROJECTS TO TELEPHONE NUMBER: <br /> INCREASE WATER SUPPLY Hillsborough - 732-8181 <br /> Chapel Hill - 968-4501 <br /> Mebane - 227-2031 <br /> Durham - 688-7331 <br /> PURPOSE: To decide upon a plan for sub distributing the water portion of <br /> these funds. <br /> NEED: The Countywide allocation under the bill, based upon population, <br /> will be $789,300 each year for two years to support up to fifty <br /> percent of the cost for water and sewer construction. Part of <br /> each year's allocation will go directly to the cities as outline <br /> in the attached, updated excerpt from the November 15, 1985 <br /> Water Supply Report.
