MINUTES OF THE ORANGE COUNTY
<br />BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
<br />May 6. 1966
<br />The Orange County Board of Commissioners met in adjourned session on Friday,
<br />May 6, 1966, at 4:30 o'clock P.M. in the Commissioners Room at the courthouse in
<br />Hillsborough, North Carolina.
<br />Members present:. Chairman Harvey D. Bennett, Commissioners Gordon B.
<br />Cleveland, William C.-Ray, Henry S. Walker and Carl M. Smith.
<br />Members absent: None
<br />Representatives of the Orange-Alamance Water System, Inc. were present, these
<br />were: June Crumpler, Wiley Perry, Turner Forrest, Robert Nichols, Lacy Gibson,
<br />Supervisor for the Farmers Home Administration and L'. A. Alley, Engineer for the
<br />Orange-Alamance Water System, Inc.
<br />Mr. Crumpler stated that if Orange County and the Town of Mebane proceeded
<br />with its present plans for water service to the proposed industrial area, that
<br />these plans; would impair the plans currently being considered by the Orange-
<br />Alamance Water System, Inc. as it would curtail the number of water customers that
<br />could be serviced by the Orange-Alamance Water System, Inc. This curtailment
<br />would jeopardize the loan, which the Water System, Inc., had made through the
<br />Farmers Home Administration. This loan is needed in order for the Water System,
<br />Inc. to proceed with their water project plans. Mr. Crumpler further stated
<br />that the Water System, Inc. could manage satisfactorily if Orange County and the
<br />Town of Mebane constructed the water line to the industrial site but refrained from
<br />extending the water line along Highway 70 to the Perry Hills Subdivision. He states
<br />that the Water System, Inc. would offer to purchase any facilities that the County
<br />of Orange and the Town of Mebane might construct and that the Water System, Inc.
<br />would- agree to allow the Town of Mebane to continue the servicing of the proposed
<br />industry by renting its line for ten cent (10c) per one thousand (1000) gallons of
<br />water transported to the industry.
<br />Chairman Bennett assured Mr. Crumpler and the other representatives of the
<br />Water System, Inc. that Orange County's only desire, in this matter, was to secure
<br />water and sewer service to the proposed industry. That the county had no intention
<br />of trying to put the Water System, Inc. out of business, however, it did appear
<br />that the Water System, Inc. had not secured the necessary financial approval for
<br />its proposed water project plans and that their plans did not include sewer service
<br />to the proposed area. Chairman Bennett brought to the attention of the
<br />representatives the need for both sewer and water facilities, and stated that
<br />Orange County, through necessity, must continue its investigation of ways to provide
<br />these facilities to the designated industrial area.
<br />There being no further business to come before the Board said meeting was
<br />adjourned to meet again on Monday, May 16, 1966.
