Dear Mrs. Manuel,
I am writing in response to the Compliance Evaluation Inspection Report received by the
Town of Scotland Neck and dated June 10, 2022. I would like to address the bolded issues
that were pointed out by the inspector.
The Town of Scotland Neck has been awarded two grants (Phase 5 & Phase 6) totaling
$2,000,000.00. The grants call for repair/replacement of much of the headworks, including
the step screen and grit removal system. In the mean time we have a manual bar screen
that is being used and is monitored and cleaned multiple times daily. These grants also
provide for two (2) new brush rotor assemblies and additional jet pumps in the digester to
help with the vegetation growth that was noted. The Phase 6 grant also includes repairing
and/or replacing the tertiary filter pumps and media.
I would also like to note that the Town Board has approved the purchase of a new
replacement rotor which is due to be received and installed around the end of September
of 2022. The total cost of the brush rotor, including installation, is $112,000.00.
Engineering Services, who is handling the grant for the Town, has informed me that the
Phase 5 Project should be under construction during the first three quarters of 2023. The
Phase 6 Project will be under construction from the third quarter of 2023 to the second
quarter of 2024.
Sincerely,
ddie Braxton, Mayor
Town of Scotland Neck
