We are aware of the issues in this area and attempting to take actions to mitigate these occurrences. I have recommended the replacement of approximately 1,200 linear feet of VCP directly upstream of the pump station on the County's 5 Year Capital Plan. This plan should be approved by the Board of Commissioners on March 7, 2022 agenda and once approved will initiate the budgeting for the project. Al so included is the replacement of the West Badin Pump Station with adequately sized pumps and control to handle additional flows. The adoption of the Capital Plan is necessary for the County to complete and SDF Study to be effective July 1, 2022 that will bring in additional revenues to fund all capital projects.

We did apply for a CDBG Grant last year but were turned down. We are actively looking at grants and other available state funding to complete more work on the sewer collection system in this area.
