Description of Collection System or Treatment Process:
The collection system consists of five lift stations located throughout the Town and 130 low
pressure grinder pumps at customer's homes. The main lift station that takes the wastewater to
the treatment plant is located on Clinton Street behind Two Dogs Pizza. This lift station is fed by
a gravity sewer. A lift station is located at McDonald's on 50/55 highway at I-40. A lift station
is located approximately one quarter of a mile outside the Town limits on 50/55 highway.
Another lift station is located at the trailer park on Mt Olive highway. A lift station is located at
Hobbton School on Clinton Highway and pumps directly to the treatment plant. The treatment
plant is located on Pork Chop Hill Road off Bryan Road. It consists of a bar screen, flow
equalization basin, an oxidation ditch/clarifier, a tertiary sand filter, aerobic digester, and flow
monitoring/disinfection station and cascade aerator. Ultraviolet light is used to disinfect the
water before being discharged into Beaver Dam Swamp and ultimately into Coharie Creek. A
generator is located on site and is used to supply backup power to the wastewater treatment plant
during power outages.
All sludge generated at the plant enters an aerobic digester. Upon proper digestion, the
sludge is then applied on a 7.4 acre permitted site (Permit#WQ0010470), adjacent to the
treatment plant. Approximately 250,000 gallons of sludge are applied each year.
