The McGowan Creek pump station is nearing <br />the end of its useful service life and wau(d have to be <br />rehabilita#ed if it were to remain in service at a cost of <br />roughly 70% of the projected interceptor project cost. <br />Funding for this project would be for installation of the <br />interceptor line, de-cornmissioning the existing <br />McGowan Creek pump station and connecting the <br />interceptor to the proposed pump station being built as <br />part of an ongoing construction project. <br />Eliminating the exis#ing pump sfiation eliminates the <br />potential for a sanitary sewer overtlow due to a pump <br />failure or power autage at that site, which is righ# beside <br />McGowan Creek. Installing a gravity sewer interceptar <br />and taking the pump statiort_aut of senrice also reduces <br />the maintenance and utility costs fot~ the sys~em as a <br />whote and eliminates the need for CIP funding required <br />to maintain and rehabilitate #he s#a#ion in the fufure. [n <br />addition, the interceptor line itself provides the patential <br />to provide gravity wastewater senrice to severa! <br />properties which, when developed, might otherwise <br />have to pump their wastewater in order to utilize the <br />public sewer system. <br />Page 3 of 5 <br />Yers9on 09/l0 <br />
