permitting process for a six million gallon water treatment facility in the northern portion of the County. Four
additional well sites to serve this facility are needed and the District Board of Commissioners is being requested to
approve the acquisition of four tracts of property in Greenview Ranches for the future well sites. The total
combined cost for the four tracts is $68,000.
There will be at least two wells located on each of the sites able to access both the Pee Dee and the Castle

the water treatment plant which Staff hopes to have out for bid within the next twelve to fourteen months with the
facility in operation within twenty-four months.
Staff requests the Board approve the acquisition and the associated budget amendment.
