Smithfield, North Carolina 27577
JCPU Project # 21-092-S

DESIGN NARRATIVE
1.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Cleveland Apartments Gravity Sewer Extension project will install approximately 317 linear
feet of 8-inch PVC sanitary sewer from an existing manhole to a cut -in proposed 4' manhole.
The proposed 4' manhole will be cut into an existing 8-inch PVC gravity sewer line that runs
parallel to Cleveland Road (SR 1010). The proposed gravity sewer line's purpose is to divert
flow from the aging system at the rear of the property to the newer system at the roadway
providing a more reliable sanitary sewer service to Cleveland School Apartments and
surrounding facilities. The work will take place entirely on County -owned property.
2.0 EXISTING SYSTEM
The existing collection system in this area is aging. It was originally built to serve the school but
since that time several other facilities have been added and the school has been converted to
private apartments. The system is failing and causing issues for all facilities tied to it.
3.0 PROPOSED ADDITIONS
The proposed construction will add approximately 317 linear feet of 8-inch PVC
sanitary sewer, 2 cleanouts, and a 4' manhole. The pipeline will be laid at a 1.05% grade. No
new flow is expected. The downstream WWPS will remain the Josephine WWPS (WQ0028867).
