12 0. <br />a <br />Mayor Kenneth S. Broun <br />April 21, 1992 <br />OWASA CONCERNS REGARDING WATER AND SEWER SERVICES <br />I. Need for additional or cooperative funding for purchase of land <br />or development rights in watersheds. <br />2. Use of water and sewer sales tax moneys for assistance with <br />sewer assessments and tap -on fees <br />3.. Since Chatham County has developed a time schedule for using <br />Jordan Lake water, what plans are there for cooperative <br />development of the Jordan Lake water supply? How do <br />Orange /Alamance, Hillsborough, and Orange County plan to use <br />their allotments? Do they plan to join with OWASA and /or <br />Chatham County? <br />4. How are southern Orange citizens going to be compensated for <br />money spent in building the present Efland sewer line (and for <br />money which may be spent in the future)? A matching loan fund <br />grant to OWASA or the Towns would be very helpful in meeting <br />needs of citizens who do not have the resources to pay sewer <br />assessments and tap -on fees. <br />5. Status report on the $1 million bond issue approved for a <br />reservoir. <br />6. Information about the purpose and justification for the $78,000 <br />recently approved by Orange County for sewer extension. <br />7. Explore how appointees to the OWASA Board can be used more <br />effectively as channels of..communicatiom. Informal talks are <br />needed Father than- additional work -- groups or more formal <br />presentations where interaction is difficult. A format which <br />allows OWASA to be a part of the circle could promote exchange <br />of information and understanding. <br />
