Of own of Jiillshurnug4 HILLSBOROUGH, NORTH CAROLINA June 26. 1990 Mr. Eddie Kirk Orange County Planning Department Hillsborough, N. C. 27278 Dear Eddie: 101 E. Orange Street P.O. Box 429 (919) 732 -2104 R E, mr-MAM This letter is to certify to your office that the utility system which has been proposed for the expansion of the Woods - edge Mobile Home Park has received preliminary approval from our Town Engineer, Mr. David Cain. He has certified previously that the capacity is available for the Town to provide water and sewer service to the proposed area. By copy of his letter to you dated June 18, 1990, he has repeated his certification that there is sufficient reserve capacity available to handle the expansion. (Although the January, 1987, letter is dealing with the water and sewer extension to the New Hope Elementary School, there are figures stated which show that the capacity, after full buildout of the. W000dsedge Mobile Home Park, still exists in the pump stations to handle the school's discharge). The Town of Hillsborough participates in a voluntary capaci- ty use agreement for water withdrawn from the Eno River. The water treatment plant presently has a capacity to treat 3.0 mgd but we are only treating about 1.5 mgd at the present time. Under the Capacity Use Agreement we are limited to 1.51 mgd withdrawal from the Eno River, but we have an outside source agreement with the Orange Water and Sewer Authority to purchase up to 2.0 mgd. Therefore, we have no problem with the water capacity at the present time. We can sell up to 3.51 mgd. The wastewater treatment plant has a 2.0 mgd capacity and we are using slightly less than 1.0 mgd. Therefore the capacity is available at the treatment plant to treat the additional dis- charge. There are two sewage pump stations that exist in the Woods - edge Mobile Home Park. Although the lower one may have to be reworked to provide larger pumps to handle the additional flow, the remaining pump station at Woodsedge as well as others in the relay - pumping system have adequate capacity to provide for the needs of this addition. The existing lines do have the reserve capacity to handle the additional discharge. The Board of Commissioners has also given their preliminary approval to the proposed expansion of the mobile home park. The final plans for the expansion and any modifications proposed for the pump station will have to be approved by the Board of Commis- sioners before the improvements can be made.
