23 <br /> Page 5 of 5 Michael Hughes <br /> with projects consistent with the policies and ordinances, as approved by the elected officials in <br /> the jurisdictions. <br /> First, to advise Chapel Hill, Carrboro and Orange County on the sustainable long-term water <br /> supply available from the primary water resources; namely, the Cane Creek and University Lake <br /> watersheds augmented by the stone quarry as a storage reservoir after it becomes available and <br /> online after 2035. <br /> Secondly, to ensure that water supply and wastewater facilities, including but not limited to the <br /> treatment plants, storage tanks, underground piping, pump stations and sludge disposal <br /> operations are always online, well-maintained, and performing in a manner that exceeds <br /> industry and regulatory standards. <br /> Thirdly, to ensure that system infrastructure enumerated above has capacity to serve not only <br /> the residents, but also the planned development in Chapel Hill and Carrboro. This will <br /> necessitate, as appropriate, the replacement and upgrading of physical facilities through the CIP <br /> program, funded by bonds when necessary, as well as the engineering review and rigorous <br /> inspection of the water and sewer infrastructure, designed and constructed by others, which <br /> extends OWASA service to new development approved by Chapel Hill, Carrboro and Orange <br /> County. <br /> Lastly, to develop and maintain interagency agreements and infrastructure with the other <br /> proximal water supply entities, such as the City of Durham, Hillsborough and others, so as to <br /> allow the continuation of water supply during drought or emergency conditions. <br /> Boards/Commissions appointments: <br /> Other Comments: <br /> This application was current on: 8/9/2019 Date Printed: 8/9/2019 <br />
