Greensboro based Ralph Myers, director of High Point Water and Sewer, says the city’s current use of Randleman Dam and two lakes should keep up supply through 2005. He notes future options include Yadkin River water near 300 million gallons daily and northern river basins, with dredging to deepen lakes and potential use of treated effluent to boost storage.
