Waxhaw Sewer Replacement and Addition
Contract 5.0 — Waxhaw Sewer Improvements
Gentlemen:
Union County is planning to construct approximately 700 feet of new sanitary sewer lines
to replace existing problematic lines in Waxhaw, North Carolina, The replacement sewer
provides service to businesses along South Main Street between South Providence Street
and South Church Street. Union County is also planning to construct approximately 160-
feet of 8-inch sewer to eliminate an excessively long service lateral. Both locations are
currently served by existing sewers and the replacement sewers will not produce any
additional wastewater.
On behalf of the County, enclosed please find two sets of the following documents for your
review and approval:
• The executed Fast -Track Application (FTA 04-16).
• The executed Flow Tracking/Acceptance Form (FTSE 04-16).
• A USGS Site Map illustrating the location of the proposed sanitary sewer
• A Street Level Site Map showing the approximate project area,
• A check in the amount of $480 for the Application Fee.
