Orange County had originally approached the State about paying for this project with <br />proceeds from the SRF loan used to pay for the Central Efland /North Buckhorn Sewer Project. <br />However, the State requested that the County apply for the McGowan project funding <br />separately. Orange County applied for a separate SRF loan in March 2012 and the unused <br />money from the Central Efland /North Buckhorn SRF loan that would have been used for this <br />project was returned to the State. <br />As a brief reminder of the scope of the project, this work will allow the County to eliminate the <br />McGowan Creek pump station by installing a gravity sewer line to replace it. The new gravity <br />sewer line will convey the wastewater that previously flowed into the McGowan Creek pump <br />
