A <br /> June 26, 1987 <br /> Mr. Eddie Kirk <br /> Orange County Planning Department <br /> 306—F Revere Road <br /> Hillsborough, North Carolina 27278 <br /> Dear 2ir. Kirk: <br /> This is in response to your June 23 letter regarding the proposed <br /> Stratford Green development. <br /> As I told you by phone yesterday, the town determines whether water <br /> and sewer service will be made available to a particular property develop- <br /> ment — and under what conditions — following a study of the area by the <br /> town's consulting engineer. This engineering study is made when the <br /> property developer requests the study and agrees to pay for it. <br /> There is a water pressure problem in the northern part of our water <br /> system — especially at higher elevations. For a particular development <br /> our engineers would determine whether adequate pressure is available. <br /> For example our engineers studied — at Orange County' s request and expense — <br /> the pressure situation at the proposed Rencher Street area community <br /> development project and determined that pressure would be adequate. <br /> 1f the voters pass the water bond issues in the August 18th bond <br /> referendum, the new elevated water tank should solve the pressure problem. <br /> The town will be happy to determine the availability of water and <br /> sewer service for this developer if requested, as we do for other <br /> developers. <br /> The town board has indicated a long—range interest in annexation <br /> of this general area. No timetable has been set. It will be very ex- <br /> pensive to the town — primarily because of the cost of installation of <br /> a permanent sewer system. More information about this will be available <br /> when our engineers complete a sewer system master plan later this year. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> ck.x. -L .Z.- .,P-1-4-( <br /> I.
