Similarly there are objections center on possible disturbance of Drowning Creek for fishery useage, fishing and secondary recreation purposes. In 1977 Moore County voters turned down a county-wide water bond issue, an action which indicated a diversity of thought on the subject in all sections of the county. The summer of 1977 brought drought and a water crisis during the hottest season in modem history. Southern Pines residents were required to reduce water consumption drastically, and it hurt. The town turned to neighboring Carthage, where water was purchased on an emergency basis. Although the crisis has not been repeated. Southern Pines continues to contract for water from Carthage and pays a minimum fee on a regular basis. At present Southern Pines water resources include the lake '“rvoir, three wells and the ige source. The town wai,..- plant has a capacity to pump two million gallons a day, but Mrs. McDonald points out that in order to produce this much water, the plant must operate continuously. This leaves no time for a routine maintenance shut-down, or emergencies. “This is an interim measure, good for no more than three or four years. The town has to make a decision which way to go, and get it implemented as soon as possible,” the town manager Moor4 Hoke, Scotland and Richmond and proceeding in a southwest direction along Richmond- Scotland County line to Secondary Road 1601, then following several secondary roads, to the intersection of Cranes Creek and as far as the Hamett-Moore County line. The EMC study says a Capacity Use Area designation depends on how the proposed withdrawals affect the assimila tive capacity in Drowning (>eek below Aberdeen Creek and ultimately the effluent limitations placed on the Aberdeen (5reek regional wastewater treatment plant, the water supply in Drowning Oeek, and the groundwater resources in the area. “Based on our study, we believe the use of the water in this area will require coordination and limited regulation for protection of the public interest,” the EMC study recommends. “The aggregate uses of water in this area have threatened to develop to a degree which requires coordination and regulation.” Graham, who died of pistol wounds. In a recent district court session no probable cause was found to hold the woman for grand jury action on the murder charge, and the case was dismissed. Docketed for trial Monday is the case of Bob Ranford (Collins, whose murder charge stems from a Nov. 12 shooting of 17- year old Jimmy Ray Biby at a trailer park near Robbins.
