Box 8181 <br /> Hillsborough, N.C. 27278 <br /> Dear Moses : <br /> At the end of the Carrboro Board of Aldermen' s meeting on <br /> November 9, 1993, the Board briefly discussed the proposed <br /> watershed amendments for Orange County and comments <br /> submitted by OWASA. Concern was raised about the Cane Creek <br /> Watershed. It was expressed that although this watershed is <br /> not a part of the joint planning agreement, it certainly <br /> falls within the spirit of it. Since this facility serves <br /> the citizens of Carrboro, the town has a joint interest in <br /> preserving the water quality of Cane Creek. In particular, <br /> Carrboro, Chapel Hill and Orange County have exerted a <br /> considerable amount of energy to provide the highest degree <br /> of protection for its water supply watersheds and would not <br /> want to take any actions which would undermine those efforts <br /> resulting in a lessening of the water quality. <br /> It is our understanding that the Board of Commissioners may <br /> take action at its next meeting concerning the Cane Creek <br /> Watershed. The Carrboro Board of Aldermen directed that I <br /> formally request that the Board of Commissioners postpone <br /> its decision on these watershed amendments until the <br /> Carrboro Board of Aldermen has an opportunity to prepare <br /> comments for the Commissioners ' consideration. The Board of <br /> Aldermen will be considering this matter at its mee17.3ig on <br /> November 16, 1993 . It is also requested that a joint public <br /> hearing on this matter be considered. <br /> Your consideration and positive response to these requests <br /> would be appreciated. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Eleanor Kinnaird <br /> Mayor <br /> cc: John Link, County Manager <br /> P.
