The Zoning Officer reported that the reason for the presentation was to discuss with the board the steps that the Orange County Planning Staff is planning to take in reference to the upper Eno water supply issue. The report that was included at last month's meeting shows that we are approaching the limits of our current water supply. Due to this new information, the review period for the Scotswood development was extended 30 days. A copy of the study was sent to OWASA, Orange - Alamance Water Authority and to the Town Board members. The County will look at (1) the existing water supply and the demand for more water which will include the figures from OWASA and Orange -Alamance; (2) Water use for the approved and projected developments; (3) Current water usage with reports from OWASA. For water supply availability they will look at (1) adding of enhancement improvements which are included in the report (will raise the 1 million gallons per day by .6 million per day). (2) Supply from outside sources and (3) A water conservation ordinance. Page asked if the study included the amount of water that Hillsborough will provide to the areas to be annexed. Rose commented that it would be included in the growth figure. Rose also said that there is no real coordination between the 3 dams that are involved. He said there should be some way to coordinate the three to keep the streams at a constant level. Page asked how much control do we have over Corporation Lake since it is a private industry. The Zoning Officer answered not much at this time.
