Lift Station INFORMATION CONTACT: Craig Benedict, 245-2585 John Roberts, 245-2318 Kevin Lindley, 245-2583 PURPOSE: To transfer ownership of water and sewer facilities constructed by Orange County and the property on which the Gravelly Hill Middle School pump station is built to the City of Mebane. BACKGROUND: Buckhorn-Mebane Utilities Phase I was installed by an Orange County contractor and completed in 2007 to service Gravelly Hill Middle School and to a certain degree other adjacent areas. Prior to this time (March 2004), Orange County and the City of Mebane signed an interlocal utility service area agreement that set forth conditions of design, construction, and project `close out'. The project `close out' includes state permit approvals for usage, 'as builts', easement transfers, and formal transfer of ownership of installations including water lines, fire hydrants, and gravity and force main sewer systems, as well as the sewage pump station and associated property. Facilities include those noted in North Carolina Department of Environment & Natural Resources (DENR) Permit #WQ00229683 issued March 31, 2006, and modified April 10, 2007, and the Division of Environmental Health, Public Water Supply Section, ID #02-01-018, Serial #0501760, November 2, 2005. It is also important to note that per this same agreement, the City of Mebane has been maintaining and servicing all the infrastructure installed as part of the Buckhorn-Mebane Utilities Phase I project since it was installed in 2007. The transfer of facilities also include public on site water and sewer systems covered by easements that serve the Gravelly Hill Middle School and Eurosport Soccer Center. These facilities were certified by Mike Hammersley, PE, of Coulter Jewell Thames, PA.
