The streamflow has fallen steadily from its peak (approximately 700 cfs) on June 14th. There are currently no controlled releases for instream flow from either the Lake Orange or West Fork reservoirs, however it will become necessary to make such releases from Lake Orange very soon without additional rainfall. • Stage I Eno River Capacity Use Restrictions came into effect on May 28th and were lifted on June 19th. Without additional rainfall, restrictions will become effective again on June 27th West Fork Reservoir • Water level is at full capacity • Water storage capacity remaining is 100% OWASA Reservoirs • Water level at Cane Creek Reservoir is 14.0" below full • Water level at University Lake is 3.5" below full • Total remaining water storage capacity is approximately 94.1% • Approximately 360 days of water supply remaining (at current 7-day average daily demand[8.5 million gallons per day]) National Weather Service/NOAA Regional Precipitation data (inches above [+] or below [-] normal) RDU Piedmont-Triad -6.34" for 2005 -9.94" for 2005 -0.56" since January 1 , 2006 -5.70" since January 1 , 2006 +6.07" since June 1 , 2006 +2.14" since June 1 , 2006 Miscellaneous notes 1 .

It does not include fuel used by the Town of Hillsborough, or outside agencies(ABC,Orange Enterprises,etc.) (1) Animal Shelter vehicles typically fuel off-site(Town of Chapel Hill) (2) Central Services no longer provides mail/courier service (3) Use of diesel fuel by OPT began with diesel vehicle on new Chapel Hill route in January 2006 (4) EMS reduced gasoline usage,but increased diesel usage due to replacement of older gasoline powered ambulances with newer,diesel powered models. ENERGY USE NATURAL GAS Usage(Therms) January-May 2006 Actual Baseline Projection Diff.(Actual-Baseline) %Difference from Baseline May 9,145 8,725 420 4.812% Year-To-Date 96,755 97,520 -1,065 -1.09% ELECTRICITY Usage(KW)January-May 2006 Month Actual Baseline Projection Diff.(Actual-Baseline) % Difference from Baseline May-06 405,624 412,391 (6,766) -1.64% Year-To-Date 2,103,664 2,170,323 -66,659 -3.07% Public Works developed a model to estimate changes in energy usage from a two-year baseline period(January 2004 through December 2005). This model is used to effectively"remove"or adjust for the effect of outside air temperatures (Heating Degree Days(HDD)and Cooling Degree Days(CDD))on energy use in County buildings. "Actual"usage presents the number of kilowatt hours used during the most recent month as well as usage for the calendar year to date. "Baseline Projection"is a projection of the quantity of electricity that would have been used, adjusted for HDD and CDD,based on usage in the two-year baseline period. The"Difference,"if a negative value, demonstrates that less energy was used than projected,resulting in a savings. If a positive value,the"Difference" indicates that more energy was used than projected. In order to allow appropriate"apples-to-apples'comparisons to direct changes in usage,outside lighting has not been included,as accounts are often rolled up for several buildings(i.e.,outside lighting for the Government Services Annex includes not only the Annex but also Government Services Center,the Sheriff Department and the New Courthouse). 1
