31 <br /> 1 Todd Taylor explained how OWASA's service area has become constrained over time. He <br /> 2 said originally, OWASA had no geographic limitations beyond serving the university, Chapel Hill, <br /> 3 and Carrboro as its primary responsibility, and growth paying for growth was the only restriction. <br /> 4 He said the rural buffer around University Lake watershed protection became the first geographic <br /> 5 constraint, visible on maps as the green line, which follows watershed boundaries. He said state <br /> 6 water supply watershed rules in the early 1990s added further protection in the hashed out blue <br /> 7 areas of the map. He said the 2001 Water and Sewer Management and Boundary Agreement <br /> s established formal geographic service boundaries for the first time, describing boundary change <br /> 9 processes and exceptions for health concerns or public facilities like schools. He said the <br /> 10 agreement established procedures for working with county entities to determine service <br /> 11 provision and created OWASA's long-term interest area, shown in light blue. <br /> 12 <br /> 13 Slide #12 <br /> 0 owASA Lo nple [ntexse Area <br /> FYI ®wateffi <br /> Q T—Ff]Boundary <br /> �Rural Buffer Boundary <br /> Q pwASA Pnmary Service Area <br /> w - <br /> rsr <br /> . , ► Care Crack <br /> wale v ud <br /> Service <br /> r <br /> v � <br /> Chapel HIN ETJ <br /> Ljnive.bis`d�� • <br /> wa,arznGn <br /> J „ <br /> N Garrbem Ei,; <br /> r®Miles --- <br /> 14 - �- <br /> 15 <br /> 16 <br />
