1 <br /> ORANGE COUNTY <br /> BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br /> ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT <br /> Meeting Date: September 6, 1994 <br /> Action Agenda <br /> Item # <br /> SUBJECT: Sewer Easement Agreement with Hillsborough <br /> DEPARTMENT: County Manager PUBLIC HEARING: Yes X No <br /> ATTACHMENT(S) : INFORMATION CONTACT: <br /> County Engineer ext. 2300 <br /> Easement Agreement <br /> TELEPHONE NUMBERS: <br /> Vicinity Map and Property Hillsborough - 732-8181 <br /> Plat (under separate cover) Durham - 688-7331 <br /> Mebane - 227-2031 <br /> Chapel Hill - 967-9251/968-4501 <br /> PURPOSE: To present a proposed sewer easement agreement to the Board of <br /> County Commissioners for its approval and execution <br /> BACKGROUND: For some time, the Town of Hillsborough has had problems <br /> with the capacity of its sanitary sewer system serving the <br /> portion of its service area lying south of Interstate 85 <br /> and along Hwy 86. Sewer service to the New Hope Elementary <br /> School, Wildwood subdivision and Woodsedge Mobile Home Park <br /> has been provided by a network of force mains and pumping <br /> stations. The Town, the County and the County Board of <br /> Education have, in the past, participated financially in <br /> sewer construction projects which have improved the sewer <br /> capacity in the area by eliminating pumping stations, force <br /> main bottlenecks, etc. <br /> The Town and the Board of Education are currently <br /> cooperating in a new project to improve capacity in the <br /> area so that the new middle school on Hwy 86 can receive <br /> municipal sewer service. Plans for the new middle school <br /> call for an on-site gravity sewer collection network which <br /> is to be connected, via approximately 500 feet of off-site <br /> gravity line, to an existing pump station which was <br /> constructed to serve the elementary school. This pump <br /> station is connected via force main to another existing <br /> pump station located at the Wildwood subdivision. The <br /> Wildwood pump station is currently operating at full <br /> capacity and represents a bottleneck in terms of providing <br /> sewer service to the middle school. The Town has proposes <br /> to eliminate the pump station bottleneck by extending <br /> gravity sewer service to Wildwood and removing the Wildwood <br /> pump station from service. <br />
