B. Phase I ~gate~ Line Extensions Since one of the elements of the charge to the study Commission was to review the proposed water line extensions, much of its energies were directed toward a better understanding of the proposed extensions as well as the proposed financing arrangements. To assist the Study Commission in understanding this proposal, the final engineering report including the maps of the areas of the county in which water lines were to be placed were provided to the Commission. Excerpts from this plan were prepared by the Cabarrus County Planning Department. This document is reproduced below: WHAT'S BEING PROPOSED The Cabarrus County Board of Commissioners is proposing to construct Phase I water facilities of the Cabarrus County Water System. This first phase will serve seven separate areas. WHERE IS THE WATER COMING FROM The county presently has a bulk water purchase agreement with the Concord Board of Water and Light for at least 1,000,000 gallons of water per day (MGD). (This is sufficient to serve approximately 5,000 customers or 12,500 people.) Concord presently has treatment capacity of approximately 10 MGD with an average daily demand of about § to 6 MGD. WHO IS GOING TO OWN]OPERATE THE SYSTEM The Board of Commissioners has voted to establish a County Water and Sewer District to provide water in the seven service areas. Cabarrus County will maintain, own and operate all water facilities in these seven areas. WHEN WiLL THE SYSTEM BE DEVELOPED Tentatively, construction would begin in the latter part of igit~ and would be completed in the latter part of 1985. WHAT'S ALL THIS GOING TO COST The total cost of the proposed first phase of the Cabarrus County Water System is $11,060,000. A breakdown of expenditures and customers served is in the project cost summary. Cabarrus Gounty has received a loan/grant from the Farmer's Home Administration and a state grant to defray the major portion of this expense. The planned landing is as follows:
