Harding Hughes, Jr. +—Az'r5 6 ;1r Administrator, Town of Hillsborough P. 0. Box 429 Hillsborough, NC 27278 RE: Water and Sewer Availability Concorde Place Apartments Hillsborough, NC Dear Harding: We have completed our preliminary review of the availability of water and sewer service to the Concorde Place Apartments. The proposed location of the development is at the northeast corner of the intersection of U.S. Highway 70 By-pass and Holiday Park Road on the edge of Hillsborough's northwest corporate limits. The following comments address the requirements for both water and sewer extensions. Water Service The proposed plans indicate that water service is to be provided from a tie-in to the existing 6-inch water main on Holiday Park Road. Preliminary testing of hydrants in the area show that the available static pressure at the proposed site will be a minimum of 43 psi, above the minimum pressure of 30 psi required for non-fire demand periods. The future construction of the elevated water tank off Faucette Mill Road will enhance the situation by increasing the available head in the northwest part of Hillsborough. Since the development will be constructed entirely within Hillsborough's corporate limits, provisions must be included to provide fire protection. Lines internal to the complex must be at least 6-inch and have hydrants spaced at minimum 400 foot intervals. . The water mains also must be specified as either PVC C900 or ductile iron pipe (DIP) class 50 as opposed to the copper pipe shown on the existing plans. Specific items such as these will be addressed in greater detail when reviewing the developer's plans and specifications for final Town approval. Flow rates to the proposed site during fire demand conditions cannot be calculated without further system testing. The relatively small size of the buildings, however, will not pose a significant fire demand over that of existing facilities in the area. System testing to determine maximum delivery rates during fire demand will be conducted in conjunction with final plan review. Sewer Service The preliminary plans submitted by the developer propose that sewer service to the apartment complex be in the form of gravity lines extending to the existing gravity system on U.S. Highway 70. No pump station or force main would be necessary under this arrangement. 2301 West Meadowview Road / Greensboro, North Carolina 27407 / Telephone: 919/292-2271
