4- <br />e <br />Quarterly Report to Orange County Commissioners <br />June 30, 1991 <br />Page 2 <br />removing several thousand yards of soil material that contained <br />small amounts of broken pipe, pavement, and other construction <br />debris — all of which has now been relocated to properly <br />permitted landfills. The only remaining work will be re— seeding <br />the quarry site as soon as the weather cools off. Despite the <br />expense and embarrassment to OWASA, I want to assure you how much <br />we appreciate the vigilance and cooperation of your staff in <br />helping to identify and correct these problems. <br />Water Sunely for the Sumer <br />As you know, the Cane Creek Reservoir now provides plenty of <br />water to meet high seasonal demands. The next step will be to <br />expand our capacity to treat and store more water to meet short <br />term peaks. OWASA's average annual use is around 6.5 million <br />gallons per day, but last summer's Peak day demand was more than <br />10 mgd. Our present capacity to treat and deliver water is about <br />12.5. That's why our Capital Improvements Budget includes an <br />expansion of the water plant during the next two years. <br />Although we have the capacity, it's not yet clear whether <br />Hillsborough will request water from OWASA this summer. As you <br />recall, we sold about 300,000 gallons a day to Hillsborough for <br />seven weeks last September and October. <br />Please let me or the OWASA staff know if you would like further <br />information on any of this or other information I may not have <br />reviewed. <br />Up <br />
