county moves forward to implement the recommendations of the study.
Others who spoke were:
Mr. Cash McColl, representing Iredell Water Corporation. Mr. McColl expressed the urgency to
move on the recommendations in the near future. He said the recent drought in Iredell County made
people aware of the need of water. He said Iredell Water is now averaging 70 to 75 meters per month
installation where they used to average 200 meters per year. He expressed his gratitude at the
cooperation between the several water systems that has never existed before.

support the study.
Mr. Pete Connet, Statesville City Manager. Mr. Connet was representing the Statesville City
Council, who supports this study. He said he thought the next step was to work together to find
other sources of raw water for the northern end.
CRAWFORD ROAD SEWER LINE PROJECT: Chairman Mills asked Mr. Pete Connet the status of the
Crawford Road project. Mr. Connet said they had been meeting with some of the developers in the
area. Some of the concerns of the Statesville City Council are impact fees and pay back in case of
annexation. These items are to be discussed at the joint meeting of Statesville City Council and
Iredell County Commissioners, to be held on September 22.
The county and city managers have meet with one of the major land holders to find out their
feelings about participating in acreage charges, etc. Mr. Jack King, Greater Statesville Chamber of
Commerce, has met with the owners of Klear Knit, Inc. (Hatfield Road), and they have written a
letter stating that they are willing to participate financially. This was a concern of the City
Council.
In answer to Chairman Mills' question as to when the City Council would make a decision, Mr.
Connet said an answer may be available, one way or the other, within thirty days. He is hoping by
the October 6th meeting, after the joint meeting with Statesville and Iredell County on September
22nd.
DISCUSSION OF WATER AND SEWER REPORT RESUMED:
Mr. John Roberts and Ms. Ann Cole, Camp, Dresser & McKee representatives, gave a brief overview
of the Phase II study. Mr. Roberts said the first phase of the recommendation covers a ten-year
period and estimates a cost for expanding water facilities at $26 million (including engineering and
contingencies). Total cost estimated for this same period for waste water facilities is estimated
at $14 million (including engineering and contingencies).
Phase 11 is estimated at $41 million for expansion of water facilities and $10 million for
expansion of sewer facilities. Total cost for both phases is $91 million (1986 $'s).
A gentlemen (no name given) in the audience inquired if the Mecklenburg Neck area was included „„„
in this study.
Mr. Roberts said the recent ordinance governing sewage treatment plants at Lake Norman has
provided protection of the water quality in that area, and that the water quality indicates that
septic tanks are not contaminating the lake. Mr. Roberts recommended an on-going water quality
testing for the lake, which will provide a means for determining at what point the county might want
to begin to think about an area -wide sewage collection system.
Chairman Mills thanked Mr. Roberts, Ms. Cole, Mr. Morrow, and Mr. Morrow's committee.
MOTION from Chairman Mills to accept the report as information and will have further disposi-
tion of it later.
