This is in response to the Town's request for flow acceptance received 12/6/04. The Water
and Sewer Authority of Cabarrus County (WSACC) has or currently expects to be able to make
available capacity at the Rocky River Wastewater Treatment Plant and appropriate sewer
interceptors to transport and treat the domestic wastewater from the proposed. _Landon Subdivision
consisting of 109 lots for apartments/condominiums. 'WSACC agrees to accept wastewater from the
proposed sewer line based on information provided. by DPR Associates, Inc. (Civil Engineer for the
project) using North Carolina .Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR)
wastewater flow guidelines. The projected flow is 39,240 gpd; however WSACC expects the actual.
wastewater flow to more closely approximate 27,250 gpdbased upon Master Plan engineering data.
The Town of Harrisburg understands that separate Flow Acceptance Requests he required for
the future flows that will connect into this sewer line.
By requesting flow acceptance, the Town of Harrisburg acknowledges that WSACC may
need to upgrade, expand, or construct new facilities to accommodate the increased flow volume
granted by this and previous flow acceptance. Appropriate design and construction will be initiated
When actual flows dictate but may be subject to situations that WSACC does not expect or control.
Based upon flow of 39,240 gpd and cost of $8i26/gpd to provide treatment and transportation
capacity, this flow acceptance represents an estimated capital expenditure in excess of $318,864.
For your information and based upon NCDENR. wastewater flow guidelines, WSACC has
approved 1,395,537 gallons of flow acceptance for the Town of Harrisburg from 1992 to present
and 275,240 gallons of flow acceptance year-to-date including this request. Based upon the
approved flow acceptances WSACC has committed capacity valued in excess of $11,340,133 for
the Town of Hanisburg since 1992 including $2,236,600 for this calendar year.
Downstream facilities from the proposed project are scheduled in WSACC's current Capital
Improvement Program (CIP) to increase available capacity. Projects on the CIP are subject to
approval by WSACC's Board of Directors, support from local governing bodies, regulatory
approval, and funding a,vailability,
