County Man ager Paul Graham told the Robeson County Board of Com missioners at its Monday night meeting that consulting engineers estimate it would cost in excess of $10 million to construct the third phase of the countywide water system, with probable financing through a bond referendum. Koonce, Nobles and Associates engineering firm gave the estimate and the company is planning the third phase, while working up a more complete estimate of the cost, Graham said. Commissioners had recently asked for the estimated cost for the third phase and Graham said Monday they would have to decide if they want a bond referendum in 1985 to let voters decide if they want to finance the third phase. The second phase of the water system has been underway since last month, funded by a $7 million bond referendum which will cost about $8 million, up to 3,600 customers will be served by the project, Graham said. He noted that the engineers will, apply for a $400,000 federal grant, coupled with $1.6 million in lef tover bond money to add about 650 new homes under the second phase. If the third phase is completed, 90 to 95 percent of the county's households would be covered by the system, he said. In other action, the board authorized county manager Jim Martin to talk with Lumberton city officials about the possibility of the county using the city water system as a "pass-through" to provide water for a new power plan, being constructed to provide steam for West Point Pepperell Inc.
