.~' The Concerd-Kannapolis area, the geographic core of the watershed, <br />is rapidly becoming an area for more industrial£zation. The count~ <br />has many of the requisite characteristics required to attract industry. <br />Its large size means a labor force sufficient for plants of 1,000 or <br />so employees should be readily available from the unemployed, and per~ <br />sons looking for higher wages than those offered in textiles in nearbyz <br />counties such as Rowan, Stanly, and Mecklenburg. The county also <br />has an interstate highway, and is on the main line of a major railroad. <br /> <br /> The recently adopted zoning ordinance designates the area from <br /> <br />NC 49 to 1-85 from Concord City limits to the Cabarrus County line as <br />an industrial area. The only £~dustrial developmental need in this <br />area is water and sewer. Availability of water could be a limiting <br />factor in locating industry having needs beyond sanitation. <br /> <br /> EXISTING WATER FACILITIES AND SOURCES <br /> <br /> There are currently seven (7) major water suppliers in Cabarrus <br /> County which utilize six (6) surface water sources to meet their water <br /> needs. Two of.the systems (China Grove and Harrisburg) utilize wells. <br /> Table 1 shows the major water systems, and their sources of water. <br /> <br /> -3- <br /> <br /> <br />
