The pumps, generator and electrical controls were installed and put into <br />operation in 1988, so they are now roughly 24 years old. According to Orange Water and Sewer Authority (OWASA), who perform our routine maintenance, all of these <br />components of the system have been in service longer than OWASA's standard duty schedule of 10 years for pumps and controls and 20 years for generators. The <br />construction -phase engineering consultant for the ongoing Central Efland -2 /North Buckhorn sewer expansion has determined that the existing MCPS can be taken out of <br />service by installing a new gravity outfall between the MCPS and the proposed, but upsized, Brookhollow sewer lift station located on Brookhollow Road. The work to <br />prepare the Brookhollow lift station to receive this outfall is expected to be completed in March 2013. The County has received approval from NCDENR for Clean Water <br />State Revolving Fund (SRF) Loan funds in the amount of $755,450 for this project. The SRF loan is a reimbursable line of credit which will not be available until the bids <br />are received for project construction and approved by the State. Until State funds are available for reimbursement, this project will have to be funded from the General <br />Fund or through debt service. This project will also facilitate the eventual transfer of the Efland Sewer system to the City of Mebane by removing an antiquated lift station, <br />and its associated maintenance and upkeep, from the system. <br />[.'ail <br />
