Annual Wastewater Collection System Report
OE .-FAYEITEVILLEREGIONALOFFICE
July 2004 to June 2005
General Information
Facility Name: Lillington Wastewater Collection System
Responsible Entity: Town of Lillington
Public Works Director: Michael Tutt
Operator in Responsible Charge: Timothy Smith
Telephone: [phone]
Description of Process
The Town of Lillington Collection System consists of a combination of gravity lines and
pump stations, which feed directly to the Harnett County Regional Wastewater Treatment
Facility. There it undergoes extensive filtration, sedimentation, sludge removal, and disinfection
before being discharged into the Cape Fear River. The North Carolina Department of
Environment and Natural Resources, Division of Water Quality closely monitors our collection
system, the County treatment facility, and the final discharge.
Performance
The collection crew has responded to residential and commercial blockage complaints, cleaned
13,258 feet of sewer line, installed 2 sewer taps, repaired countless sewer lines; and maintained
the integrity of the system according to Local, State and Federal regulations.
Summary of system performance for the fiscal year 2004 to 2005.
April 11, 2005 — Overflow occurred at Duncan Street Lift Station.
* * *Note — All sanitary sewer overflows have been recorded and reported to the State of North
Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources, Water Quality Division.

Reminder
GREASE is an ongoing problem in the collection system. The Town of Lillington currently
spends more than $4000.00 a year to reduce the amount of grease in the collection system.
Grease hardens inside the wastewater pipes reducing the amount of space inside the line, which
leads to blockages. It also causes pump station malfunctions, which could spill over into local
water sources. Contrary to popular belief, running hot water or a type of detergent down the
drain does not lessen the effect grease has when it hardens to the walls of the pipe. The only way
to prevent this from happening is to dispose of the grease properly. This can be accomplished by
freezing animal fat in a can and disposing of it in a trashcan. Another way can be by mixing
Liquid vegetable fats with an absorbent such as cat litter or coffee grounds and place in a lidded
container before disposal. Any efforts you can make in doing this would greatly help the
collection system and reduce the amount of blockages to our customers. Please feel free to
contact the wastewater collection department at [phone] if you have any questions.
