Dear John:
I have computed the estimated allowable draft for those public water
supplies that were not computed during the regular project because a
carry-over storage analysis was required. Before the computations were
made, I called and/or visited these cities to determine if the source
and raw-water storage data were still accurate. The allowable crafts
and a summary of new data are listed below.
Part 1 Northern Piedmont
1. Mebane, Alamance County:
In 1975 Mebane and Graham entered a joint agreement to build
a 6 mgd treatment plant on Graham's reservoir. Lake Michael,
Mebane' s reservoir, is used only when needed. Water released from
Lake Michael flows into Graham's City lake. The estimated allow¬
able draft of Lake Michael is 0.8 mgd with a storage of 217 million
gallons.
2. Kernersville, Forsyth County:
Kernersville' s New Town Lake on Belews Creek was contaminated
by a waste spill. The town has been given permission to use the
lake but the City Council voted against returning the lake to
service. Currently, the town is using the small standby lake for
approximately one half of their needs and purchasing the remainder
from Winston-Salem. They plan to eventually purchase all their
water from Winston-Salem (May 1978). The estimated allowable draft
of New Town Lake is 1.5 mgd with an adjusted storage of 120 million
gallons.
