The Town of Mocksville appreciates; the opportunity to respond to the Notice of Violation for:
:.the Sanitary Sewer Overflow on December 17 2020. .
December:17.2020 at:15:00 hr. I,was notified that the sewer line aerial off Eaton Road had been: •
damage and; was leaking in to a tributary of Leonard Creek: I immediately called -the ORC and
notified him that Sewer line aerial had been damaged and was leaking: Upon arrival we
determined the pipe sizeto be 18" day and our equipment was .inadequate for the job. I
contacted our private contractor to:come in::to help restore service, and called our parts
supplier for pipe. The only type of pipe we could find was 24" HDPE for a temporaryfix, and
order ductile lined pipe. We replaced the old aerial with 24" HDPE pipe with bracing across the
creek, and after muddying in both connection and having no leaks. We finished up at 03:00 hr. ...

We notified Gary Hudson for:the 24hr.:verbal notification:and an estimation :of:flow and, split to:
determine:300,000 gals: And we: think heavy rains contributed to the damage;of the sewer line
aerial. Wefollowed:up with the 5 day report.
On January 26 2021 we setup a pump aroundfor the sewer line aerial for.a:permanent fix of,:
50ft. 18";ductile lined pipe...
