66 ) HARRISBURG <br />UTILITIES <br />FACILITATE DESIRED DEVELOPMENT WITH THE <br />UTILITY INFRASTRUCTURE REQUIRED <br />Strategic investments in public utilities is one of the most effective ways to attract <br />development to areas where such development is desired. From an economic de- <br />velopment standpoint, it is a means of being more competitive as the Town recruits <br />development that will bolster the tax base and create jobs. <br />• Address water pressure issues by creating water loops in conjunction with planned infrastructure <br />improvements (i.e., with the construction of Caldwell Road Extension). <br />• Coordinate with Concord to ensure adequate storage capacity exists in elevated tanks. <br />• Extend sewer along Mallard Creek in phases (refer to Morehead WestArea Plan). <br />• Coordinate with Mecklenburg County/Charlotte Water <br />NOTE Refer to Moreheod West Areo Pion for more specific swtegies (see Appendix) <br />DEVELOP A UTILITY SYSTEM EXTENSION POLICY <br />Public investments in utility extensions should reinforce the community's decisions <br />about where to support growth. Such investments are the "carrots" that attract de- <br />sired development, rewarding those who make the private investment. <br />• Phase extensionsto follow a logical progression of development particularly into areas delineated for <br />Very Low Density Residential (VLDR) development, where conservation design is encouraged and <br />public utilities will be required to support this choice. <br />• Support extensions through private development <br />- Continue to accept privately developed systems provided system design standards for equipment <br />and line sizing are adhered to. <br />- Continue to reimburse the difference in cost due to upswing lines to serve future development <br />and waive tap fees. <br />- Develop incentives and policies related to water reuse. <br />Albachmenl number 8 \n <br />G-1 Page 187 <br />
