Morrisville buys more water from Cary
New contract runs through 2003 for 1.2 million gallons per day
By Mary Beth Phillips
Staff Writer
Morrisville officials signed a reso
lution to obtain its water from Cary
on Monday, with the idea that Cary
will seek the additional water need
ed to meet the needs of both towns
from Durham.
The water resolution presented by
Town Manager David Hodgkins
was adopted unanimously by the
board of commissioners.
The town has been negotiating
directly with Durham for the water
for the past several months, and a
contract with Durham was tabled on
May 11 while town officials negoti
ated with Cary. Because Durham’s
water would have had to travel
through Cary’s lines to get to
Morrisville, a wheeling charge
would have had to be paid to Cary in
addition to the cost of the water.
Morrisville is now under contract
with Cary to receive up to 1 million
gallons of finished water. The con-

tract, signed in 1995, extends for 20
years, and also provides that
Morrisville will receive an addition
al two million gallons of finished
water when the Cary/Apex water
treatment plant is expanded.
The contract signed Monday will
take care of Morrisville until the
plant expansion is complete, proba
bly about 2003. The Cary/Apex
plant also sells water to the Wake
County portion of the Research
Triangle Park and to the Raleigh-
Durham Airport.
According to documents submitted
by Hodgkins, Morrisville will
require an average of 684,000 gal
lons per day during 1998, rising to
1,155,700 in 1999 when new devel
opments come on line. The agree
ment with Durham will provide
more water than the projected maxi
mum needs for Cary, Apex,
Morrisville and the other users of
Cary water.
Cary will be Morrisville’s agent in
the negotiation with Durham, but

Hodgkins said he will be at the bar
gaining table with Cary and Durham
officials.
Hodgkins said Cary will sell the
water to Morrisville for $1.82 per
1,000 gallons, whereas Durham
would have charged $2, and
Morrisville would have had to pay
Cary an additional wheeling charge
if it got the water directly from
Durham.
Cary, Morrisville and Apex are
waiting for a permit from the state
for the additional allocation from
Jordan Lake before the plant can be
expanded. The state is studying the
potential effect of an interbasin
transfer from the Cape Fear River
basin into the Neuse River basin,
which is where the North Cary
wastewater treatment plant dis
charges.
Members of the new slow-growth
board in Cary had indicated that
they may not expand the water
plant, but now Cary appears com
mitted to the expansion.
On paper, Morrisville is already
out of water. Several large apart
ment complexes, including Sterling
Green, Summit Apartments,
Cameron Chase apartments and the
Legends at Preston that have been
approved but not yet built will drink
up all the water that is currently
available. More than 1,500 apartment
units were approved during 1997.
Last month, the town approved the
mixed-residential use Parkside
development of 1,147 units.
The recent development boom
began about a year ago in July after
Morrisville connected to Cary’s
sewage treatment system and began
buying up to 2 million gallons per
day of sewage treatment capacity in
Cary’s newly-expanded plant. This
contract provides for enough
sewage treatment capacity to keep
up with the town’s sewage needs for
at least two years at the rate the town
is growing, Hodgkins said.
After that, the negotiations will
begin again.
Mitchell serves as co-chair of the
school improvement team at
Morrisville; in the late 70s, he
served on a county-wide school
improvement team through Wake
County Schools central office, and
he has also held that role at
Washington Elementary School in
Raleigh and Kingswood Elementary
in Cary. The team helps improve the
climate in the classroom and boost
teacher morale.
He has also conducted parent
workshops for the PTA designed to
get parents more involved with the
school. Mitchell is a cooperating
teacher for student teachers at St.
Augustine College and Shaw
University. He has served as a mem
ber of the teaching fellows scholar
ship program.
He is a graduate of North Carolina
Central University with a degree in
intermediate education. He has
taught high school mathematics in
summer school before joining the
year-round program.
In his spare time, Mitchell '^joys
bowling, gardening and playing the
organ.
In her spare time, Hinkel enjoys
reading, especially historical novels,
and traveling.
