SEWER <br /> Collection and treatment of domestic and industrial sewage is more critical than <br /> water supply and treatment. Three factors are important: expansion of treatment <br /> facilities, improvement of the facilities to assure that the- plant will meet the <br /> higher required standards and expansion of the collection system into growth <br /> areas. <br /> Raleigh treats sewage for Apex, Cary and Garner. A contract with:Knightdale <br /> provides for treatment of sewage in the near future. Contracts provide for some <br /> pretreatment, establish limits to flow and, in Ahe case of Cary and Garner, <br /> require construction of local treatment facilities. Limits are set by allocation of <br /> plant capacity and allocation of outfall capacity, not necessarily the same. These <br /> can be changed by agreement and contribution to plant increases and new <br /> outfalls. The following are from Raleigh sewer agreements: <br /> Latest Contract <br /> or <br /> Town Amendment Terms <br /> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------—--- <br /> Apex 1983 Limit 0.7 mgd. until Walnut Creek <br /> interceptor is increased in size, about 1988. <br /> Limit 1.3 mgd. afterward. <br /> Cary (1) 198; 19134-85: limit 2.2 mgd. <br /> 1985-88-. limit 2.4 mgd. <br /> 1988-89: limit 1.4 mgd. <br /> 1989-2003: limit 2.44 mgd. <br /> Allocation of plant capacity is 3.3 mgd. <br /> Garner (2) 1984 1984-85: limit 2.1 mgd. <br /> 1985-87; limit 0.6 mgd. <br /> Knightdale 1981 After completion of the Mungo Cr6ek <br /> outfall, Raleigh will acept 1.23 mgd, at the <br /> plant. <br /> (1) Cary must build a 1.5 mgd plant by 10/84-and increase plant capacity by 1988 <br /> (2) Garner must build a treatment plant for the south side by 1987. <br /> Cary, Garner, Holly Springs, Morrisville, Raleigh, Wake Forest and Zebulon are <br /> planning-new, or enlarged, treatment plants with a total capacity of Is mgd. at <br /> a cost of $43 million by 1992. Apex is considering either a treatment plant of I <br /> mgd capacity or construction of an outfall to Raleigh to supplement the existing <br /> outfall. Knightdale plans to build a connector to Raleigh and abandon its existing <br /> treatment plant. <br /> In Orange County, OWASA has adequate plant capacity but must upgrade the <br /> plant at an estimated cost of $3.6 million. Hillsborough's plant is adequate. <br /> Orange County has contracted to build a line to Efland for $1.15 million. <br /> TT <br />
