ORANGE COUNTY <br />BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br />ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT <br />Meeting Date: April 20, 2004 <br />Action Agenda <br />Item No. ~_ <br />SUBJECT: Drinking Water Week & OWASA Taste of Hope Program <br />DEPARTMENT: Board of County Commissioners PUBLIC HEARING: (Y!N) No <br />ATTACHMENT(S): <br />Proclamation <br />INFORMATION CONTACT: <br />Donna Baker, ext 2126 <br />TELEPHONE NUMBERS: <br />Hillsborough 732-8181 <br />Chapel Hill 968-4501 <br />Durham 688-7331 <br />Mebane 336-227-2031 <br />PURPOSE: To proclaim May 2 through 8, 2004 as Drinking Water Week in Orange County <br />and encourage participation in the Orange Water and Sewer Authority's (OWASA) "Taste of <br />Hope" Customer Assistance Program, <br />BACKGROUND: Each year, OWASA sponsors public awareness events to inform citizens on <br />the importance of a safe drinking water supply. An important part of the OWASA program has <br />been the willingness of elected officials to sign a proclamation in support of Drinking Water <br />Week. <br />The proclamation also acknowledges the contributions of water and sewer utility employees <br />from the Town of Hillsborough, Orange-Alamance water system, Graham-Mebane water system <br />and Orange County, <br />The proclamation also addresses OWASA's "Taste of Hope" Customer Assistance Program, <br />which allows customers to have their monthly bills automatically rounded up to the nearest <br />dollar as a donation to help families in need. The Inter-Faith Council for Social Service then <br />uses the "Taste of Hope" donations to temporarily help OWASA customers when they are <br />unable to pay their water/sewer bills, <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: None <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board proclaim May 2 through <br />8, 2004 as Drinking Water Week in Orange County and authorize the Chair to sign the <br />proclamation on behalf of the Board, <br />
