Hsu ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS Action A enda Item No. I4 ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT Meeting Date: APRIL 4, 1988 SUBJECT: TOWN OF HILLSBOROUGH WATER AND SEWER EXTENSION CONTRACT DEPARTMENT: HOUSING/COMMUNITY PUBLIC HEARING: Yes No DEVELOPMENT ATTACHMENT(S) : INFORMATION CONTACT: TARA FIXES CONTRACT TELEPHONE NUMBER: Hillsborough - 732-8181 Chapel Hill - 968-4501 Mebane - 227 -2031 Durham - 688-7331 PURPOSE: To approve the draft of the Town of Hillsborough Water and Sewer Extension Contract. BACKGROUND: The Housing and Community Development is preparing a CDBG application for the Rencher Street Community just North of the Town of Hillsborough. The area is north of the Highway 70 Bypass and generally east of the intersection of Highway 86 and Highway 57. In the application, the County is seeking to correct the serious public facility deficiencies in the pro- ject area, which include serious water and sewer needs. The Community is presently served by the Town of Hillsborough water system, however, the water lines are deteriorating and inadequately sized. This has resulted in frequent disruption of water services and inadequate water pressure. Some units also have no water supply. Additionally, the area is not served by a public sewer system. Some units have malfunction- ing septic tanks and others have no bathroom facilities and rely on outside privies. The Department is seeking CDBG funds to replace inadequately sized water lines and provide public water and sewer services to those homes which lack water and sewer facilities. All water and sewer improvements would be owned and maintained by the Town of Hillsborough and will be designed in accordance with the specifications of the Town. In order to accomplish this task, it will be necessary to request approval from the Hillsborough Town Board for the Water and Sewer Extension (from their present system) and execute a written contract approving the extension.
