one-fourth mile from the Harnett County water line Mr Broome recommendedthe County consider upsizing the line to 12 which would enable the County in an emergencyto easily install pipe the remaining distance to connect with Harnetts water sourceAlternatively the County could interconnect a 12 main to Harnette County now It wasdiscussed that the County might, in the future, run a loop from the Countys 16 line north ofBenson to connect with the line on Hwy 272 John Aman and Percy Lee Water line Mr Aman and Mr Lee are currentlyplanning to extend a 10 PVC waterline along Cornwallis Road to their property which extendsinto Wake County Mr Broome suggested Johnston County might wish to upsize this line to12 ductile iron for a future interconnect with Garner Cost to upsize the line would be118,0003 Interconnection with Wayne Countys Fork Township Sanitary District atPrinceton Mr Broome pointed out the Fork Township Sanitary District has no appreciablesurplus water available, and it does not appear feasible for the City of Goldsboro to providewater outside their area at this time An interconnect at Princeton would benefit both theCounty and the Sanitary District as far as emergency supply is concerned4 Interconnect with Garner - Colonial Carton Line Clayton is currentlypreparing bid documents for extending a 12 waterline to Colonial Carton Corporation closeto the Wake
