Finkbeiner, Pettis & Strout, Limited <br />.Consulting Engineers <br />Es,aol sneo 1900 <br />Mr. I. Harding Hughes,Jr., <br />Town of Hillsborough <br />P.O. Box 429 <br />Hillsborough, NC 27278 <br />Dear Harding: <br />January 14, 1987 <br />Town Administrator <br />LI, <br />K_ <br />Re: Sewer be Water Extension Review <br />Orange County School Board <br />Hillsborough, NC <br />We have completed the feasibility study for the extension of water and sewer <br />service to the intersection of new NC 86 and New Hope Church Road as requested by <br />Dr. Dan Lunsford, Orange County School Superintendent. In addition to water and <br />sewer service, we also reviewed the potential for supplying fire protection to a <br />proposed 700 student elementary school on the site. <br />General <br />Water and sewer service currently extends along NC 86 as far south as the <br />Woodsedge Mobile Home development. Water is supplied through a 6 -inch main at <br />Woodsedge that connects back to a 12 -inch main at Wildwood Subdivision. From that <br />point, the 12 -inch main ties into the city -wide system at US 70 (Business Route). <br />Sewer service is much more complicated. Sewage from Woodsedge is collected <br />from the individual units and pumped by means of a 5 -Hp duplex pumping station to <br />Wildwood through a 3 -inch force main. The sewage empties into the Wildwood pumping <br />station, where it is pumped by a 7.5 -Hp duplex station through a 6 -inch force main to <br />US 70. At that point, however, a bottleneck in the system develops. The 6 -inch line <br />reduces to a 3 -inch force main extending all the way to the wastewater treatment <br />plant. This section of line is the limiting factor in determining sewage transport <br />capacity from this area. <br />Water Service <br />Domestic Water. Service with On -site Fire Protection Capabilities <br />Non -fire demand water service can be provided to the school by means of <br />constructing a new 12 -inch main from a tie -in point at Woodsedge to the proposed <br />school site. The Town of Hillsborough requires that a 12 -inch line be installed to <br />provide for future expansion and looping of the system in the New Hope Church Road <br />area. Calculations show that the demand of 10,500 GPD placed on the water system by <br />the school would maintain residual water pressures above psi in all parts the line. <br />The project will consist of installing 6,500 feet of 12 -in ch PVC water main n with the <br />2301 West Meadowview Road / Greensboro.
