The Water Sewer Advisory Committee has made its recommendations to the City Council and Board of Commissioners, including a recommendation to create an Authority pursuant to the Act. In accordance with the requirements of the Act, pursuant to notice a public hearing was held before the Wilmington City Council and New Hanover County Board of Commissioners, and they have determined that it is in the best interest of the City and County to create the Cape Fear Public Utility Authority pursuant to the provisions of the Act and desire to do so by the adoption of concurrent resolutions.
