Managing the Water Supply (General Policies. page 1). <br /> Specify what is meant by County "management" of the water <br /> supply. If management really means zoning, them the correct wording <br /> may be "protection" rather than "management". <br /> Orange Water & Sewer Authority <br /> • <br /> A. General Policies <br /> 1. Tne draft policy recommends that Orange County identify, develop, and <br /> man�aae water supplies in the County. This can be interpreted to mean that <br /> the County proposes to manage all existing and proposed supplies within <br /> the County. Does the statement `managed by the County" apply to <br /> 0S-owned supplies such as University Lake, the Stone Quarry Reservoir <br /> and Cane Creek Reservoir? Is it feasible for the County to "develop" such <br /> water supplies? <br /> This paragraph should state that in evaluating these issues and concerns <br /> Orange County will also work with water and wastewater utility provioers, <br /> not just the municipalities, within the County. <br /> 2. Needs should be met consistent with land use plans and growth management <br /> policies, including agricultural, water quality critical area, watershed <br /> and environmental protection, and buffer policies. <br /> 1-A-1 <br />
