These acres are in sight of the <br /> reservoir. <br /> OWASA representatives gave statements in public hearings, N.C. Courts, <br /> and in "Environmental Impact Statements" that a reservoir would be con- <br /> sistent and compatible with the community and no further restrictions <br /> would be necessary --- apart from State and Federal clean water re- <br /> strictions. <br /> Before Cane Creek Reservoir, they. wanted the water because of its <br /> quality --- even calling it "PRISTINE" ! When those studies were con- <br /> ducted, there were six more operaring dairies with more than 2000 animals. <br /> We property owners do not need more restrictive zoning to protect the <br /> land and water --- a 200+ year record proves this. <br /> The EMC's final "EIS" noted in its socio-economic impact the losses to <br /> the community who do not benefit -- not allowed use of the water! <br /> ( A drink of water can only be gotten if we go into Carrboro or Chapel <br /> Hill to shop or dine.)
