Dear Mr. Fisher ,
Pursuant to the state open records law, N.C. Gen. Stat. sec. 132-1 to 132-10, I write to

from the Town of Cary and its employees relating in any way to the proposed Water
Treatment Facility to be built by the Western Wake Partners in the unincorporated area of
Wake County known as New Hill including but not limited to results of studies, site analysis,
cost analysis, etc. whether such emails were in response to inquiries or initiated by the Town.
We would like emails dating back from the inception of the project to the date of this letter.
We are also requesting at this time all memorandums, reports, studies, meeting notes,
correspondence, site analysis, cost analysis and any other documentation regarding the site
selection and all other aspects of the aforementioned facility from the inception of the project
to the date of this letter. We would ask that you include documents generated by the Town Of
Cary, its attorney and staff, and the Western Wake Partners. We would also like those same
documents provided to you by staff and employees of the Town Of Cary, the Western Wake
Partners, any other municipality or government agency that has any involvement with the
facility, and all third party contractors that were hired by the Town Of Cary, Western Wake
Partners.
I agree to pay any reasonable copying and postage fees of not more than $100. If the
cost would be greater than this amount, please notify me. Please provide a receipt indicating
the charges for each document. We would prefer these documents be provided in CD format.
I would request your response within ten (10) business days.
If you choose to deny this request, please provide a written explanation for the denial
including a reference to the specific statutory exemption(s) upon which you rely. Also, please
