INTEROFFICE HE iORANDUp': 6707-1611 19i Durham-Hillsborough hater Line Agreement July 6, 1967 Page 4 in light of its own capacity and needs . Section 4 states that the maximum amount of water to be supplied by Hillsborough to Durham shall be 1 . 0 million gallons per day subject to the limitations of Section 11 . As Ken Thompson has noted in his 6/2/67 memorandum, constraints on the ability of Hillsborough to provide the water to Durham are not identified . In particular, County ordinances limit withdrawals from the Eno River at Hillsborough . G Based on my evaluation of the agreement, I recommend the following : 1 . That Orange County contact the City of Durham and the Town of Hillsborough for the purpose of seeking revisions to the agreement which provide assurances that no connections will be permitted to the water line except in 10 and 20-year Transition Areas as designated on the Orange County Land Use Plan or in emergency situations for properties located outside such Transition Areas. 2. That Orange County contact the City of Durham for the purpose of seeking revisions to its Urban Growth Boundary which are consistent with the 10 and 20-year Transition Areas of the Orange County Land Use Plan. 3 . That Orange County contact the City of Durham and the Town of Hillsborough for the purpose of seeking revisions to Section 11 of the agreement which clearly define the limits of transmission of water from the Town of Hillsborough to the City of Durham, and that such limits be based in part on the limits for withdrawals from the Eno River. If revisions to the agreement cannot be secured, I recommend that the Board of Commissioners adopt the Planning Board ' s recommended policies pertaining to water/sewer extensions outside of approved service areas. The Planning Board will consider this matter at its July 14, 1957 meeting. Its recommendations will be forwarded to you promptly. If you have questions, please advise.
