If approved by county commissioners,
a local engineering finn will
soon begin a study on how to satisfy
thc increasing demand for water in
southwestern Brunswick County.
The county's Utility Operations
Board Monday voted unanimously to
recommend that commissioners hire
Lewis & Associates of Shallotte to
study and design a proposed water
line from Shallotte to the Sunset
Beach area along U.S. 17.
Engineers Jav Houston and Alan
l.ewis presented their company's
proposal to the board at its l'z-hour
meeting Monday night in Bolivia.
Board members William English,
Robert Nubel. Ed Clore, Alfonza
Roach, Ernest McGee and Frankie
ltabon were present. Jimmy Oldliam
and Morris Crouch were absent.
The meeting included a 15-minute
closed-door session, which was requested
by UOB attorney Mieluiel
Ramos to discuss "contractual matters"
involving proposed special
water assessment districts. No action
was taken as a result of the executive
session.

citizens.

After considerable discussion,
commissioners decided to allow
Smith, I.udlum. Chapf>ell. Operations
Services Director Darry Somersett
and Solid Waste Director Leo Hewett
handle arrangements for excavation
of a 26,000-eubic-yard hole at the
Brunswick County landfill.
The board balked at hiring a local
contractor to dig the hole at 90 cents
per cubic yard. Instead, commissioners
explored the possibility of

part of the work to save money.
After Hcwett explained that the
hole would be needed within five
weeks, commissioners authorized
the informal committee to work out
the details of the project without having
to obtain the full board's approval.

iioit of the septic tank installation on
a provisionally suitable site, if it fails
to meet the conditions set forth in the
permit, the installation of the system
will not be approved.
In other action, Rhodes said Tuesday,
the board decided to invite a
representative of the Brunswick
County Board of Education to a
future meeting to discuss ways in
which the two boards can coordinate
their efforts at drug abuse prevention
and education
The action followed a report from
Dr. Bill Phillips of Cape Fear
Substance Center in Wilmington, a
long-time drug abuse prevention
educator. Phillips recommended the
health board formally request the
school system to include drug abuse
prevention education in its curriculum.
He also recommended the
two boards examine a program used
by the State of Arizona that he said
has been very effective.
Cape Fear Substance Abuse Center
currently provides a full-time
counselor who works within the
Brunswick County Schools. The
school system also incorporates the
"Say No" approach into the health
education curriculum for several
grades, among other prevention
education approaches now in use.

In January, Brunswick County
Water System Director Kennett
Hewett told the UOB that expansior
of the system will be necessary by
llt.M VVcll ID 11 IL'Vl <11IllLI^JclIL'Vl Hillt'l
demand in areas southwest ol
Shallotte.
He estimated that peak water con
sumption in those areas will be aj>proximately
2.9 million gallons pei
day in 1989, with the peak expected tc
occur over the July 4th holiday week
However, the county's watei
system can now supply those areas
with only 2.6 million gallons per day
which is 300,000 gallons less thar
would be needed, Hewett noted. Ht
said the water supply should be adequate
this summer.
But according to Houston, the
system's needs are immediate. "At
this time, the situation is critical
west of Ocean Isle Beach in thai
there may not be enough water tc
meet fire flow in the event of a fire
during the peak season." Houstor
said Monday in his proposal to the
board.

He noted that at least three

hallotte Point meteorologist
ackson Canady.
The area can expect temperatures
/er the next few days to range from
le mid 60s at night to the mid 80s
iiring the day, Canady said.
Also, rainfall should be near nortal
at about one-half inch.
During the period of June 7 through

as 70 degrees, which Canady said
as about six degrees below normal.
The daily average high

Other Business
In other matters at Monday's
meeting, the UOB:
Approved a recommendation to
authorize contract change orders
amounting to $10,480.70 on SAD 1, S
$9,304.10 on SAD 2. and $399.04 on
SAD 3.
Agreed to suggest redefining the
boundary of SAD 5 to exclude a large
undeveloped tract of land off N.C.
904.
Recommended a proposed policy
that SAD property owners whose lots
have double frontage on water line
extensions should be assessed only
for one side of their property, instead
of on a strict frontage basis.
Voted against allowing the
developer of River Run Shopping
Center in Southport to connect with
the county water system, because the
center's private system does not
meet county specifications, according
