2. <br /> Orange Water and Sewer Authority <br /> 400 Jones Ferry Road <br /> OWASA ' P.O. Box 366 <br /> Carrboro, NC 27510 <br /> (919) 968-4421 <br /> REPORT TO THE ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br /> MARCH 23, 1993 <br /> Cane Creek Reservoir <br /> As you probably know, OWASA opened the Cane Creek Reservoir recreation area last <br /> December. Public response has been enthusiastic, with usage far above previous seasonal levels <br /> recorded at University Lake. We hope to host an open house at Cane Creek for the entire Orange <br /> County community later this year. In the meantime, feel free to contact our staff if you'd like to <br /> arrange a personal visit. (And, don't forget that University Lake is now closed to the public, <br /> scheduled to reopen when major dam renovations are completed next year.) <br /> In accord with its longstanding policy of ensuring the primary use of OWASA's reservoirs as <br /> public water supplies, the Board of Directors voted to prohibit the use of all private watercraft at <br /> Cane Creek, as well as gasoline motors, except for safety, patrolling, and scientific purposes. <br /> The Authority does provide rental rowboats, canoes, and electric trolling motors. <br /> Regarding watershed protection at Cane Creek, OWASA staff continue to collect monitoring data <br /> from the lake and its tributaries, and we're proceeding with appointment of an advisory committee <br /> to assist with the Cane Creek watershed study. It is unlikely that any firm recommendations will <br /> be established before late in the 1993 calendar year, but 1 would remind you of two earlier <br /> findings about Cane Creek: <br /> The 1989 Camp Dresser McKee University Lake Watershed Study took a preliminary look at land <br /> use/water quality issues in the Cane Creek watershed, and indicated that a satisfactory level of <br /> protection might be achieved in Cane Creek with less stringent land use constraints than <br /> An Equal Opportunity Employer <br />
