Meeting Room, County Office Building, 725 McDowell Road, Asheboro, NC.

Joint Meeting with Water Resources Advisory Board
David Townsend, Public Works Director, informed the Commissioners that the Water
Resources Advisory Board (WRAB) would like to meet with them to share a water study that was
done for WRAB on the Northeast portion of Randolph County. This study was prompted by the
County Schools' plans to build a new school in this area and to provide water/sewer to the existing
school at Grays Chapel. The WRAB hopes this study will serve as a master plan to make sure
correct routes for these utilities are selected and adequate sizes of lines are installed, and to prevent
lines being installed that do not interconnect for orderly growth of water/sewer in this part of the
county.
The Board instructed Mr. Townsend to arrange a joint meeting with the WAAB for some time
in November.
