Link, Jr. <br /> Orange County Manager <br /> Post Office Box 8181 <br /> Hillsborough, North Carolina 27278 <br /> SUBJECT: JORDAN LAKE WATER SUPPLY ALLOCATIONS <br /> Dear Mr. Link: <br /> Item Number VIII-D on tonight's Board of Commissioners agenda presents an excellent summary <br /> of the Jordan Lake water supply storage situation. One point of information not mentioned is that <br /> Orange Water and Sewer Authority paid this year's $15,724.35 billed for the 10 percent (10 mgd) <br /> Level II storage allocation assigned by the Environmental Management Commission, and <br /> appropriated funds in the FY 94 Budget for next year's billing as well <br /> Decisions by the Town of Hillsborough and Orange-Alamance, Inc. to allow their respective Level <br /> II allocations of 5.5 and 3.5 mgd to lapse represents the potential loss of a 9 mgd raw water <br /> source, The supply and demand forecasts which provided the basis of the joint application <br /> submitted to the EMC by Orange County, Chatham County, Orange-Alamance, Inc., Hillsborough, <br /> and OWASA in 1988 are essentially unchanged, and the development of an additional raw water <br /> supply in central or northern Orange County remains some years in the future, at best. <br /> This matter will not be discussed by the Orange Water and Sewer Authority Board of Directors <br /> until late July, In the meantime, however, it may be useful for staff to discuss the possible <br /> application by the County and/or Authority for the Hillsborough/Orange-Alamance storage <br /> allocation that will revert to the EMC. Regardless of who eventually treats, delivers, or uses the <br /> water, such a long range action would appear to benefit all citizens of Orange County. <br /> Please let me know if you would like to discuss this further. <br /> You R.very truly, <br /> 75 <br /> ..11-,1 "-'S-1--"4- e"-i/ <br /> Everett Billingsley <br /> Executive Director <br /> cc: Board of Directors <br /> An Equal Opportunity Employer <br />
