May 131r 201 <br />E: Schoolhouse Road Habitat Subdivision Seer <br />This is a quick memo to discuss the ability of the existing sever system in Efland to beadle the <br />additional flow projected from the proposed Habitat for Humanity Subdivision on Schoolhouse <br />Road, The existing McGowan Greek pump station off of l -Cedar Grove Road, to which <br />the entire system's wastewater flows, can comfortably handle an average daily flow of 300,000 <br />gallons per day Gi The current average daily flog from the existing 225 customers of the <br />fi a n sewe r system is between 359 00 0 and 401000 G PD , or less than 15% of the capacity of <br />the pump station. The wastewater is pumped to the Torn o Hillsborough's wastewater <br />collection system, where it flows by gravity to the Town's wastewater treatment facility. <br />Orange County has a utility connection agreement with the Town of Hillsborough to receive an <br />average of to 380,000 G r t The current flow is roughly o of our allotted capacity with <br />the Town of Hillsborough. <br />Based o o the proposed 28 r s'rdences in the Habitat for Hu man ity subdivision, the wastewate r <br />flow to the Efiand system can be estimated to increase by an average of approximately 6,000 <br />GP D. This is based on the current average POPUlat ion in the area of 2.64 people per <br />household, which I've rounded up to 3 people per household. An acceptably conservative <br />estimate of wastewate r~ usage is 70 G P D per capita. This results in an average of 210 G <br />per household, or a total of slightly less than 6000 GPD. This amount represents <br />approximately 2% of the current system capacity and can easily be accommodated by the <br />existing infrastructure. <br />One note of disclaimer: this analysis is with regards to projected flog only and the capacities of <br />the oxisfing infrastructure. This memo should In no way be construed as approval of the <br />subdivision plan or any planned utility infrastructure e to sions to serve this subdivision, which <br />are still under review* <br />
