Summary
Sanford takes ownership of the Clearwater Wastewater Treatment Plant, expansion land, a water tower and new customers, while giving Chatham Park a reserved sewer capacity of up to 2 million gallons a day over up to 25 years. The $1.9 million payment comes from Pittsboro-area rates, not Sanford's.

Impact analysis
The city pays $1.9 million for expansion land out of the Pittsboro rate base — Sanford ratepayers are off the hook, and the city gains plant revenue and customers.
Sanford gains infrastructure, customers and regional leverage; Chatham Park gets the sewer capacity it needs to keep building.
Existing Sanford ratepayers won't pay the $1.9 million, but some residents worry about the cumulative regional financial commitments.
