15 1 o Original cost estimates are four years old 2 3 Efland Sewer to Mebane Buckhorn EDD - map 4 5 Craig Benedict said four years ago it was determined that the Efland sewer flow would 6 be directed to the Gravelly Hill lift station, which goes out towards Buckhorn Road. He said this 7 would decrease the capacity of that lift station for adjacent economic development areas, and 8 so that plan has changed to bypass this station, and take the sewer by force main all the way 9 down to the new gravity sewer system, which was built to a larger capacity. He said the original 10 estimates were put together in the middle of the recession, and costs have increased due to 11 demand and costs of materials. 12 Travis Myren resumed the presentation: 13 14 Capital Investment Plan 15 • Hillsborough EDD - $380,000: Page 81 16 o County CIP includes total project costs. 17 o County and Hillsborough discussing utility interlocal agreement— BOCC 18 consideration this spring 19 o Town of Hillsborough will own and operate the infrastructure with no ongoing 20 operating costs for the County. 21 22 Hillsborough EDD - map 23 24 Commissioner McKee clarified that the agreement with Hillsborough is almost 25 completed. 26 Craig Benedict said yes, and this will likely come before the BOCC at the May 2nd 27 meeting. He said an engineer has also been chosen and will be presented to the BOCC for 28 review. 29 Commissioner McKee asked if there is a timeline for the pipe under the road to be 30 completed. 31 Craig Benedict said this project should be completed by May 2018. He said a specific 32 timeline will be provided when the contract is presented to the BOCC. 33 34 Capital Investment Plan 35 • Eno EDD-$120,000 (FY 16-17): Page 82 36 o Interlocal agreement with City of Durham 37 o Durham will take over operations with no operating cost to the County 38 o Gravity sewer in 100 acres in Northeast corner of the EDD 39 o Potential to serve adjacent areas using private pump stations 40 41 Eno EDD Sewer - map 42 43 Commissioner Marcoplos referred to the Eno EDD, and asked if there is a timeline in 44 place for future development in the northeast corner of the EDD. 45 Craig Benedict said an analysis was completed a few years ago to determine what it 46 would take to serve the entire 600-acre area with a centralized lift station, and the estimates 47 were over $6 million. He said this plan is still valid, but too costly at this point. He said the 48 focus is on the 100-acre area, which can use a gravity system into existing system in Durham. 49 He said Durham has requested that the County wait to take action, until it has completed some 50 capacity improvements.
