036 <br /> Synopsis of Comments <br /> Goal 1 - Water Supply <br /> Provide clean and safe water supplies available and adequate to <br /> meet the future needs of the residents of Orange County. <br /> A. General Policies (Draft Policy) <br /> (See Preceding Page) <br /> Environmental Affairs Board <br /> I. The first suggestion is that the justification for and <br /> scope of County-owned water and sewer services be <br /> clarified. Is the County getting into the treatment of <br /> water and sewer? Is the County going to retail these <br /> services? If so, the policy should be explicit on these <br /> matters, and there should be justification for doing so. <br /> Town of Cerrboro <br /> Is the statement of need for further County involvement in <br /> identifying, developing, and managing water supplies an <br /> expression of the County's desire of more control over watershed <br /> protection? Or is the County wanting to become a retailer of <br /> water supply services? Or is the County proposing to take <br /> responsibility for all water supply services on a county-wide <br /> basis? These are very different goals, and it's not clear from <br /> reading the document which the County is intending to pursue. <br /> Sow does this goal relate to those of existing service providers <br /> in Orange County? This should be discussed. <br /> 1-A-O <br />
