BARBOUR <br /> HILLSBOROUGH, NC 27278 SECRETARY <br /> OPEN letter to Orange County Commissioners (as published in the <br /> SUBJECT: Remarks, Reservoir Public Hearing (News of Orange on . . . April 12, 1989) <br /> 1. Why can't I have City Water and Sewerage? <br /> 2. Does City People's water turn Cloudy when it rains Bullfrogs, stay Muddy for days <br /> When it pours Cats and Dogs, and contain Minerals which fight my Saucepans and ruin <br /> my plumbing late Fridays as weekend guests arrive and all Plumbers leave town? <br /> 3.. (a) Would they enjoy fishing in my section of Eno River or allow their <br /> grandchildren to wade it, with upstream Home Treatment Sewage being discharged into it? <br /> (b) How many Home Treatment Plants in Orange and where, and how often inspected by <br /> State? (c) Does Raleigh have enough Inspectors to go around? <br /> 4. (a) Can you believe Commissioners have no Reservoir Site Inventory, per Chairman <br /> Carey, after untold thousands of Tax Dollars spent by UNC, OWASA, and Orange on <br /> studies getting mouldy in their files? (b) And an Engineer on County Payroll? (c) <br /> Who put the Old Duke Fox Himself in charge of Orange Reservoir Henhouse? (d) Who let <br /> Hazen-Sawyer write a $40,000 Study Contract limited to small area above Hillsborough <br /> (Where Sacred Cows of "pure history" abound, per Chairman Hartwell)? (e) Are chances <br /> better for dodging bullet of both Reservoir and Park by being member of Planning Board <br /> or member of Nature Conservancy/Eno River Association Combine? I favor latter but am <br /> "just here for the Entertainment", if I may quote Dr. Nygard at Eno River Task Force <br /> Meeting. <br />
