Franklin County is in receipt of NOV-2020-DV 0459 dated October 22, 2020 regarding incidents
202002627. The date that the sanitary sewer overflow occurred, southern Franklin County was
experiencing extremely heavy rainfall in the amount of approximately 3 to 4 inches of rain per
hour. The county is aware that any sanitary sewer overflow is a violation of our permit and an
environmental hazard, but this rain event overwhelmed our system in the southern portion of the
county.
Franklin County Public Utilities and our consulting engineers may have determined that the
system has an undersized force main that the Youngsville Regional Pump Station uses. We are
studying the force main and working on determining the proper size needed for current customer
base and future growth. Once a size has been determined, we will design and permit a project
to upsize the force main. Attached is the approved capital improvement plan for the Public Utilities
Department and the force main replacement is proposed to be in fiscal year 2021/2022.
If you require any further information, please do not hesitate to contact our offices
Sincerely,
Cjr ohe
Public Utilities Director
