Steve Tedder presented a slide show giving information to date on the studies his department has conducted on the quality of water in Deep River. They began analyzing water samples in 1983. At that time the water showed acute toxicity and was unfit as a public water supply. Recent samplings have shown improvements beyond what was expected by this time. Improvements are attributed to the closing of the Jamestown wastewater treatment plant and improvements made to High Point's Eastside wastewater treatment plant. Paul Wilms stated that with the improvements seen in the last two years, he sees no problem with Deep River being used as a public water supply, even if a proposed bypass line from the High Point treatment around the reservoir is not built. Joe Hardee of Black & Veatch presented additional information on his company's proposal for a county water system. He pointed out that the Archdale area is the fastest growing portion of the county, both in industry and in residences, and that this area's water source is near its peak now. The Black & Veatch plan calls for an expansion of the Polecat Creek reservoir with an interim water supply from Asheboro to Archdale. The total cost would be. -about $31,000,000. Mr. Hardee': presented another option of participating with the regional plan for Randleman Lake, with an interim water supply from Davidson County to Archdale, at a total cost of about $24,000,000. Commissioners Minutes September 9, 1985 Page 3 Following the two water reports, there was a general discussion period among those present in the audience concerning the pros and cons of the Randleman Dam Project versus the Polecat Creek project.
