M ORANGE COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT Improving health. Inspiring change. 1 1 To: Michael Talbert CC: Jeff Thompson From: Tom Konsler Date: April 15, 2012 Re: Water and Sewer Capacity at Northern Human Services Center 5800 NC 86 N Hillsborough I am providing an update on the water and sewer capacity for Northern Human Services Center in anticipation of the work session on April 16th. Water System — The current well on the property is classified as a non - transient, non - community public water supply by the state. It has retained this classification because until recently, there was a daycare center in the facility. Now that the daycare is no longer in operation, the county will seek a reclassification as a transient non - community water supply. This will considerably reduce operating costs as there are fewer testing and monitoring requirements. The capacity of the well should not be a problem for considering anticipated uses for the facility. The wastewater system will be the key limiting factor in overall capacity and the well could produce the quantity needed up to the septic system capacity. Existing Wastewater System - The existing wastewater system is designed for up to 2400 gallons per day (GPD) of use. With the decrease in use of the facility building itself, some of this flow (up to 1000 GPD) was allotted to the bathrooms at the ballfield picnic shelter which is now also connected to the septic system. This leaves approximately 1400 GPD wasteflow capacity available for the building. Without knowing the potential usage for the building (childcare, offices, meeting space, food - service, etc.) it is difficult to put limits on the variety of options. Once potential usage types are identified, it would be relatively simple to find the capacities in terms of number of people, 919 245 2360 131 west Margaret lane, Suite 100 tr Chapel Hill, NC 27514 orangecountync.gov
