Chatham County
Having just read this article (http://www.newsobserver.com/news/orange/story/1103191.html) I do not know how I feel about this issue. On one and Jordan Lake seems to be a rather large body of water. So, why not tap into it?
On the other hand, it is a fixed source of water and as I look around I see many people and institutions waste this precious resource (water). Let's use the water that we have responsibly first. Then, when we need more, tap into other sources. I am leaning towards this idea.

The closest you can get to Chapel Hill and Carrboro while still
being in Chatham County is Starpoint. The intersection of Smith Level
Road and 15-501 is at the county line. Starpoint is also the proposed
location of a new Wal-Mart.
Elected officials in Chapel Hill and Carrboro have already asked
Chatham County to allow them to conduct a courtesy review. This would
allow them to formally have input, although it is not binding.
According to the News & Observer "This
is the first I've heard about that," Morgan said when asked about
Chapel Hill's plans to request a review. "I didn't know they did that
type of stuff."
Which is exactly why we should be very worried.
