He reiterated that the town has a very comfortable supply of raw water that amounts <br /> 13 to almost two years' worth. Additionally, the town has an allocation out of Jordan Lake, and can <br /> 14 access it through the City of Durham interconnection, which would bring even more water into the <br /> 15 town's system. <br /> 16 Commissioner Carter asked if Hillsborough depends on Lake Orange for an emergency <br /> 17 water supply. <br /> 18 Bryant Green said the town relies on Lake Orange, but has a run-of-the-river supply vs. a <br /> 19 direct connection that other municipalities may have. He explained that Lake Orange and West <br /> 20 Fork discharge into the Eno River, and the town then pulls its water out of the river. <br /> 21 Cy Stober described the locations of the intakes and told the Board that there is a relevant <br /> 22 text amendment about reservoir setbacks coming forward soon. <br /> 23 <br /> 24 <br />
