DWQ
The collection system consists of five lift stations located throughout the Town and 120 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. 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 load share with the local utility and 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.
