Why Do We Publish This Report?
House Bill 1160 was signed into law on July 21,
1999 by North Carolina's Governor, . requiring
reports from municipalities that operate wastewater
collection and treatment systems. This legislation
mandates that all Cities publish an annual report
informing system users of specific items such as the
number . of wastewater .overflows, violations of
permit conditions or environmental regulations. It
also requires we report the impact of any such
violations on the environment and corrective
measures taken to minimize recurrences.
To enhance your awareness of the proper function-
ing of the system, we have decided to inform you,
the system user, not only of the required facts but of
the stake each user has in this function and what you
can do to help ensure its reliability.
The plant (NPDES permit # NC0036269) has a treat-
ment capacity of 24-million gallons per day .(MGD)
and uses a pure -oxygen activated sludge secondary
treatment system that processes both domestic and
industrial wastewater from both in -plant and off -site
sources. The solids processing operation relies on a
combination of proven and cost effective technology
available for the solids handling process. The City of
Kannapolis discharges its wastewater to the Water
and Sewer Authority of Cabarrus County's
(WSACC's) . Rocky River Regional Wastewater
Treatment Plant 'located in southern Cabarrus
County.

Wastewater Collections System
. Annual Report
Fiscal Year -
July 2011 - June 2012

The Wastewater Collection System
The City of Kannapolis' Wastewater Collection System was installed from the mid-1900's to the
present. The system consists of approximately 325 miles of sewer pipelines, three flume stations
and fifteen wastewater lift stations. The City of Kannapolis Public Works Department performs the
operation and maintenance of the collection system that serves approximately 17,500 customers.
During our reporting year, our crews provided maintenance service to the system and its
customers with professionalism and efficiency:
One jet-vactor crew continuously cleans the City's sewer system
to limit the number of wastewater back-ups and overflows. One
pump station crew maintains the City's fifteen wastewater lift
stations. A wastewater response crew responds to all calls
related to potential blockages, customer back-ups and
overflows within the collection system.
The closed-circuit TV inspection crew uses a track driven
camera that videotapes the interior of wastewater pipes to
identify defects, obstructions, check effectiveness of the
jet-vactor cleaning operations and inspect all new collection
system extensions before the City accepts them for operation
and maintenance.
The pump and outfall crew maintains our wastewater lift stations,
wastewater collections system's outfalls within right-of-way and
performs semi-annual inspections of the system. The crew
performed 1,093 routine inspections and responded to 105
alarms at the lift stations this year.
The City also has one construction and maintenance crew that
installs new service connections, performs minor system
expansions and repairs existing wastewater infrastructure.
Contract services are utilized for the installation of any major wastewater collection system
expansions and the replacement of aging deteriorating infrastructure.
The City of Kannapolis' Engineering Staff assists collection crews by providing additional
technical support to operations and periodic updates to system maps and construction
drawings.

Collection-Svstem Overflows
The City of Kannapolis investigated approximately,729 possiblemunicipal and private "wastewater relate back-ups
and overflows during the fiscal year.. The eleven incidents listed below resulted in a spill or overflow of wastewater
to the'surface waters -and were reported to the State. All locations were hydraulically cleaned up and down stream,
debris was removed (if any) and were video inspected. The affected areas were flushed :with fresh water and
treated with lime. .

The `Wastewater Collection System
The City of Kannapolis' Wastewater Collection System was installed from the m,i.d-1900's to the
present. The system consists of approximately 325 miles of sewer pipelines rand fourteen waste-
water lift stations. The City of Kannapolis Public Works Department performs the ;operation and
maintenance of the colllecti_on system that serves approximately 17,500 customers.
During our reporting year, our crews provided maintenance service to the system and its
customers with professionalism and efficiency. -
One jet-vactor crew cleans the City's sewer system to limit the
number of wastewater back-ups and overflows. One pump sta-
tion crew maintains the City's fourteen wastewater lift stations.
A wastewater response crew responds to all calls related to
potential b'loc'kages, customer back-ups and overflows within
the collection system.
The closed-circuit TV inspection crew uses a wheel driven.
camera that videotapes the interior of wastewater pipes to
identify defects, obstructions, check effectiveness of the
jet-vactor cleaning operations and rinspect all new collection
system extensions before the City accepts them for operation
and maintenance.
The pump and outfall crew maintains our wastewater;l'ift stations,
wastewater collections system''s outfalls within right-of-way and
performs semi-annual inspections of the system. The crew
performed 1,040 routine inspections and responded to 30 alarms
at the lift stations this year.
The City also has two construction and maintenance crews that
installs new service connections, performs minor system
expansions and repairs existing wastewater infrastructure,
Contract services are utilized for the 'installation of any major wastewater collection system
expansions, the replacement of aging deteriorating infrastructure and some outfall mowing.
The City of Kannapolis'' Engineering Staff assists collection crews by providing additional
technical support to operations and periodic updates to system maps and ;construction
drawings.

The Treatment Process
Rt�
The plant (NPDES permit # NC0036269) has .a
treatment capacity of 24-million gallons per 'day
(MGD) and uses a pure -oxygen activated sludge
secondary treatment system that processes both
domestic and industrial wastewater from both
in -plant and off -site sources. The solids processing
operation relies on a combination of proven and
cost effective technology available for the solids
handling process. The City of Kannapolis
discharges its wastewater to the Water and Sewer
Authority of Cabarrus County's (WSACC's) Rocky
River Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant located
in southern Cabarrus County.
Why Do We Publish This Report?
House Bill 1160 was signed into law on July 21, 1999
by North Carolina's Governor, requiring reports from
municipalities that operate wastewater collection and
treatment systems. This legislation mandates that all
Cities publish an annual report informing system users
of specific items such as the number of wastewater
overflows, violations of permit conditions or environ-
mental regulations. It also requires we report the
impact of any such violations on the environment and
corrective measures taken to minimize recurrences.
To enhance your awareness of the proper functioning of
the system, we have decided to inform you, the system
user, not only of the required facts - but of the stake
Ieach user has in this function and what you can do to
help ensure its reliability.

limit the number of wastewater back-ups and overflows. These crews
also assist with the maintenance of the City's fifteen wastewater lift
stations.
A wastewater response crew responds to all calls related to potential
blockages, customer back-ups and overflows within the collection
system.
The closed-circuit TV inspection crew uses a track driven camera
that videotapes the interior of wastewater pipes to identify defects;
obstructions, check effectiveness of the jet-vactor cleaning
operations and inspect all new collection system extensions before
the City accepts them for operation and maintenance.
• The pump and outfall crew maintains our wastewater lift stations,

The Wastewater Collection System
The City of Kannapolis' Wastewater Collection System was installed from the mid-1900's to the present.
The system consists of approximately 325 miles of sewer pipelines, three flume stations and fifteen waste-
water lift stations. The City of Kannapolis Public Works Department performs the operation and mainte-
nance of the collection system that serves approximately 17,500 customers.
During our reporting year, our crews provided maintenance service to the system and its customers with
professionalism and efficiency:
*101
Two jet-vactor crews continuously clean the City's sewer system to
limit the number of wastewater back-ups and overflows. These crews
also assist with the maintenance of the City's fifteen wastewater lift
stations.
A wastewater response crew responds to all calls related to potential
blockages, customer back-ups and overflows within the collection
system.
The closed-circuit TV inspection crew uses a track driven camera that
videotapes the interior of wastewater pipes to identify defects,
obstructions, check effectiveness of the jet-vactor cleaning operations
and inspect all new collection system extensions before the City accepts
them for operation and maintenance.
The pump and outfall crew maintains our wastewater lift stations,
wastewater collections system's outfalls within right-of-way and
performs semi-annual inspections of the system. The crew performed
1,093 routine inspections and responded to 288 alarms at the lift
stations this year.
The City also has two construction and maintenance crews that install
new service connections, perform minor system expansions and repair
existing wastewater infrastructure.
Contract services are utilized for the installation of any major wastewater collection system expansion
and the replacement of aging deteriorating infrastructure.
The City of Kannapolis' Engineering Staff assists collection crews by providing additional technical
support to operations and periodic updates to system maps and construction drawings.

Collection System Overflows
The City of Kannapolis investigated approximately 832 possible municipal and private wastewater related back-ups and over-
flows during the fiscal year. The 1.5 incidences listed below resulted in a spill or overflow of wastewater to the surface waters
and reported to the State. All locations had any debris removed, were hydraulically cleaned up and down stream and video in-
spected. The affected areas were flushed with fresh water and treated with lime.
May 20, 2009 Total +/- 400 Gallons - 320 E. 19th St. - Spill occurred due to grease in the sewer line downstream of the spill
site.
April 2.1, 2009 Total +/- 7,500 Gallons - 2420 Ashford Dr. - Spill occurred because of grease in the sewer line downstream of
the spill site. Trees along sewer right-of-way and a fence built across the right-of-way by a resident hampered our efforts to
access the necessary manholes to knock down the overflow. The offending fence was taken down, but only after the police were
called to talk to the irate resident who owned the fence.
April 15, 2009 Total +/- 50 Gallons - Midlake Outfall Line - Spill occurred because of faulty filter on a bubbler system at the
downstream sewer lift station that did not engage the pumps.
April 13, 2009 Total +/- 6,000 Gallons - 702 Smith St. - Spill occurred because of an accumulation of toilet paper, feminine
products and non -biodegradable paper towels downstream of the spill site.
March 23, 2009 Total +/- 120 Gallons - 1420 S. Main St. - Spill occurred because of grease and tree roots in the sewer line
downstream of the spill site.
March 23, 2009 Total +/- 45 Gallons - 925 S. Main St. - Spill occurred due to grease in the sewer line downstream of the spill
site.
March 23, 2009 Total +/- 50 Gallons - E. 20th St. Outfall Line - Spill occurred because of grease and tree roots in the sewer line
downstream of the spill site.
March 17, 2009 Total +/- 500 Gallons - 1004 Callie St. - Spill occurred because of non -biodegradable paper towels and cloth
rags in the sewer line downstream of the spill site.
March 12, 2009 Total +/- 200 Gallons - 1118 Thomas St. - Spill occurred because of pipe failure on an above ground aerial
sewer line. A 5.5 foot section of the sewer main was replaced.
March 10, 2009 Total +/- 420 Gallons - 1201 A Rainbow Dr. - Spill occurred because of a tree root ball growing in the sewer
line downstream of the spill site. An 8-foot section of the sewer main was replaced.
December 14, 2008 Total +/- 80 Gallons - 605 Magnolia Ave. - Spill occurred because of grease and non -biodegradable paper
towels in the sewer line downstream of the spill site.
September 12, 2008 Total +/- 1,350 Gallons - Sunset Outfall Line - Spill occurred because of grease, tree roots and sticks in the
sewer line downstream of 'the spill site.
September 10, 2008 Total +/- 11,250 Gallons - 420 Sycamore Ave. - Spill occurred because of inflow and infiltration of rain
water into the sewer system during a torrential rain of 4" to 5" in a 12-hour period upstream from the spill site.
August 27, 2008 Total +/- 1,299 Gallons - 199 Oakdale Ave. - Spill occurred because of inflow and infiltration of rainwater
into the sewer system during a 24-hour downpour upstream from the spill site.
July 23, 2008 Total +/- 15 Gallons - 1311 Lowrance Ave. - Spill occurred because of a build up of grease and tree roots in the
sewer line downstream of the spill site.
The City of Kannapolis has several construction projects underway to further enhance the level of service
and quality of life to our citizens. In addition, we continually perform proactive maintenance to the collec-
tion system to prevent wastewater overflows. During the past fiscal year, the following maintenance was
completed:
Manholes raised & upgraded: 20 manholes
Sewer main repairs: 22
Closed-circuit camera inspection: 46,000 if
Sewer mains cleaned: 269,7541f
Repairs to laterals: 37

TO PREVENT WASTEWATER OVERFLOWS
ALWAYS
• Always keep grease out of wash water by wiping dishes
with a disposable towel before washing.
• Always remove solidified grease from kitchen utensils,
equipment, wares and food preparation areas with scrapers
or paper towels. Dispose of scrapings and towels in trash
cans.
• Always allow hot liquid grease to solidify and then dispose
of properly.
• Always place all food scraps in trash collection containers.
• Always recycle restaurant grease by using contract render-
ing services and have grease traps cleaned and serviced fre-
quently.
I'
NEVER
i
• Never put oils, liquid or solid greases, fatty meat, or other
food scraps down a drain — even if you use a motorized
garbage disposal.
• Never flush paper towels, feminine products, cotton swabs,
matchsticks, or similar items.
• Never use hot water to melt grease so it will go down the
drain easier.
• Never flush any of the items listed above down a toilet.
REPORT
• Report trucks discharging liquids or other substances into
open municipal sewer manholes.
• Report acts of vandalism on manholes, sewer lines, lift
stations, hydrants and other structures.
• Report illegal dumping of toxic, corrosive, or flammable
substances into manholes, drains, or toilets.
• Report such incidents to:

City of Kannapolis Public Works Department
Why Do We Publish This Report?
To enhance your awareness of the proper functioning of the system we have decided to
inform you, the system user, of the required facts. Through this report, we would like to
share with you,the stake each user has in this function and what,you can do to help ensure
its reliability.
On July 21st, 1999, House Bill 1160 was signed into law by North Carolina's Governor,
requiring reports from municipalities that operate wastewater collection and treatment
systems.
This legislation mandated that all Cities publish an annual report informing system users of
specific items such as the number of wastewater overflows, violations of permit conditions
or environmental'regulations. It also required that we report the'impact of any such viola-
tions on the environment and the corrective measures taken to minimize recurrences.
The Treatment Process
_ The City of Kannapolis dis-
charges its wastewater to the
Rocky River Regional
Wastewater Treatment Plant.
The plant's NPDES permit
number is NCO036269 and
has a treatment capacity; of
24, million gallons per day.
he Rocky River Regional
Wastewater Treatment Plant is located in southern Cabarrus County and is owned and
operated by the Water and Sewer Authority of Cabarrus County (WSACC).
The plant uses a pure -oxygen activated sludge secondary treatment system that processes
both domestic and industrial wastewater from both in -plant and offsite sources., This is
the most proven and cost effective technology available for the solids handling process.

KANNAPOLIS
The Wastewater Collections ftst em
The City of Kannapolis Wastewater Collection System was installed
between the mid-1900's and the present. The system consists of
approximately 220 miles of sewer pipelines, two flume stations and fif-
teen wastewater pump stations. The City of Kannapolis Public Works
Department performs the operation and maintenance of the collection
system that serves approximately 16,000 customers.
Eight crews deliver maintenance service to the system and its customers
with professionalism and efficiency:
• A rapid -response crew responds to all calls related to
potential blockages and overflows within the system.
• Rodding crews utilize various cutting -tools to remove debris
' `vT within mains.
The closed-circuit TV inspection crews use a track driven
camera that videotapes the interior of wastewater pipes to
identify defects and obstructions and inspects all new
collection system extensions before the City accepts them
j
a = , for operation and maintenance.
• Two jet-vactor crews remove obstructions in the system to
limit the number of wastewater back-ups and overflows.
This crew also assists with the maintenance of the City's fif-
teen wastewater lift stations.
The pump and outfall crew operates and maintains the
a wastewater lift stations, the wastewater collection system's
54 miles of rights -of -way and performs semi-annual
inspections of the system.
• The City also has two construction and maintenance crews
,.t that install new service connections, perform minor system
expansions and repair existing wastewater infrastructure.
• Contract services are utilized for the installation of any
major wastewater collection system expansion and the
replacement of aging and deteriorating infrastructure.
The City of Kannapolis Engineering Staff assists collection
9 crews by providing additional technical support to
y G, operations and periodic updates to system maps and con-
struction drawings.

Collection System Overflows
The City of Kannapolis investigated approximately 856 possible municipal and private wastewater related overflows during the
past fiscal year. The seven incidences listed below resulted in a spill or overflow of wastewater to the surface waters of the
State:
November 22, 2004 Total +/- 31,680 gallons - Highway 136
The spill resulted from unauthorized digging around force main. Samples were collected upstream and downstream, repairs made to 10" force
main and flushed with fresh water.
December 6, 2004 Total +/- 1,200 gallons - S. Harding Avenue Outfall Line
The spill occurred because of grease. The main line was jetted and flushed with fresh water and samples were taken.
January 21, 2005 Total +/- 3,240 gallons - 605 E. 14th Street
The spill occurred because of grease. Flushed with approximately 1,000 gallons of fresh water.
March 3, 2005 Total +/- 3,600 gallons - Rogers Lake Road Outfall
This spill occurred because of grease and debris. The affected area was flushed with fresh water.
March 13, 2005 Total +/- 3,900 gallons - Outfall Line at Midlake Pump Station

The Treatment Process
The City of Kannapolis discharges its wastewater to the Rocky River Regional
Wastewater Treatment Plant. Located in southern Cabarrus County, the plant
is owned and operated by the Water
and Sewer Authority of Cabarrus
County. The plant uses a pure -
oxygen activated sludge, secondary
treatment system that processes
both domestic and industrial waste-
water from both in -plant and off -site
sources. The solids processing op-
eration relies on a combination of
cost effective equipment and opera-
tion, innovations and proven tech-
nologies. The plant's NPDES permit number is NCO036269 and has a treat-
ment capacity of 24 million gallons per day.
Why Do We Publish This Report
House Bill 1160, signed into law on July 21st, 1999 by North Carolina's
Governor, requires reports from municipalities that operate wastewa-
ter collection and treatment systems.
This legislation mandates that all cities publish an annual report in-
forming system users of specific items such as the number of waste-
water overflows, violations of permit conditions or environmental
regulations. Cities must also report the impact of any such violations
on the environment and corrective measures taken to minimize recur-
rences.
To enhance your awareness of the proper functioning of the wastewa-
This report may also be ? ter system we have decided to inform you, the system user, not only
viewed on the City website: of the required facts - but of the stake each user has in this function
www.cityofkannapolis.com and what you can do to help assure its reliability.

The Wastewater Collections System
The City of Kannapolis Wastewater Collection System was installed between the
mid 1900's and the present. The system consists of approximately 213 miles of
sewer pipelines, 4 flume stations and 16 wastewater pump stations. The City of
Kannapolis' Water Resources Department performs the operation and
maintenance of the collection system that serves approximately 16,714
customers.
Eight crews deliver maintenance service to the system and its customers with
professionalism and efficiency: .
• A rapid -response crew responds to all calls related to potential blockages and
overflows within the system.
• Two jet-vactor crews remove obstructions in the system to limit the number
of wastewater back-ups and overflows and assist with the maintenance of the
City's 16 wastewater lift stations.
• Rodding crews utilize various cutting -tools to remove debris within mains.
• The closed-circuit TV inspection crews use a track driven camera that
videotapes the interior of wastewater pipes to identify defects and
obstructions and inspects all new collection system extensions before the City
accepts them for operation and maintenance.
• The pump and outfall crew operates and maintains the wastewater lift
stations, the wastewater collection system's 50 miles of rights -of -way and
performs semi-annual inspections of the system.
• The City also has two construction and maintenance crews that install new
service connections, perform minor system expansions and repair existing
wastewater infrastructure.
• Contract services are utilized for the installation of any major wastewater
collection system expansion and the replacement of aging and deteriorating
infrastructure.
• The City of Kannapolis' engineering staff assists collection crews by providing
additional technical support to operations and periodic updates to system
maps and as-builts drawings.
The City of Kannapolis is continually performing proactive preventative
maintenance to the collection system to prevent wastewater overflows.
We currently have several construction projects underway to further
enhance the level of service and quality of life to our citizens.
During the past fiscal year, the following maintenance was completed:
Root Control Treatment: 12,013 linear feet
Sewer mains rodded: 141,236 linear feet
Manholes raised: 115 manholes
Sewer mains cleaned: 132,606 linear feet
Close -circuit camera inspection: 31,537 linear feet

During the past fiscal year, the City of Kannapolis investigated approximately 120 possible municipal and private
wastewater related overflows. The five incidences are listed below that resulted in the spill or overflow of more
than 1,000 gallons of wastewater to the surface waters of the State:
July 9, 2001
• Total - +/- 2,500 gallon -- Alabama Street Outfall Line
• This spill was a result of roots and grease. The main line was rodded and unblocked,
restoring free flow. The creek was flushed with 1,800 gallons of fresh water. Limed, tilled,
seeded and mulched affected area.
July 11, 2001

industrial service which is defined to the extent that the size of the water and sewer connection can be
definitely determined. "Stub -out" connections forwater service include a complete "Water Service
Connection" as defined by the Standard Specifications except the water meter. "Stub -out" connections
for sewer service include a complete "Typical Sewer Lateral", as defined by the Standard
Specifications.
5.5 The Applicant shall be responsible for acquiring all Easements outside of publicly -owned right-of-way
necessary for administering an extension. Such Easements shall conform to the Standard
Specifications and shall be prepared and executed In a form acceptable to the City Attorney for
conveyance to the City upon acceptance of the extension by the Director. The property interest
required by the City may in some events be a fee simple ownership. Easements shall be conveyed to
the City of Kannapolis as a general utility, drainage or roadway easement on right-of-way. The
Applicant shall make every reasonable attempt to negotiate acquisition of Easements successfully with
the affected property owners, but may appeal to the City if such efforts are unsuccessful. The City
Council may review such requests for appeal, and if the City Council determines reasonable efforts
have been made by the Applicant, the City Council may authorize actions for easement acquisition by
eminent domain. On projects where the Applicant is responsible for administering an extension, the
Applicant shall reimburse the City's total expenses in Easement acquisition, to include but not limited
to attorney fees, appraisal fees, survey fees, and court costs including settlement or judgment costs
associated with eminent domain actions.
5.6 Any request by an Applicant to install a sanitary sewer pump station as part of an extension shall be
subject to review and approval of the Director. If a future pump station is identified in the Master Plan
at or near the same location, the Director may authorize the pump station but require it be sized beyond
the Applicant's needs up. to the. capacity of service identified in the Master Plan, subject to
reimbursement for oversizing. If the proposed pump station would not be necessary. for future service
to the Applicant's property with the. addition of gravity interceptors or outfalls identified by the Master
Plan, the Director may reject the request for the pump station or may condition approval upon the
following. conditions: (1) the Applicant shall finance 100% of the cost of the pump station and force
main; (2) the Director shall determine the discharge point for the force main after concluding that the
additional wastewater flow from the proposed pump station will not adversely impact either the short-
term or long-term capacity of the downstream sewer to serve the development of property within the
drainage basin it was designed to serve; (3) the Director shall determine that septic conditions will not
result from the operation of the proposed pump station and force main; and (4) the Applicant agrees to
pay a one-time fee to the City at time of City acceptance of the pump station and force main calculated
by the Director based on the present worth of the cost for the City to operate and maintain, rehabilitate,
and repair the pump station and force main in perpetuity under industry stand4rds for reasonable care.
5.7 Any request by an Applicant to extend water and/or sewer to serve property beyond the Service Area,
as defined by the Master Plan, shall be subject to review by the City, and the City reserves the right to
0
