CONWAY WASTEWATER SYSTEM
EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN
The Town of Conway wastewater system has ten (10) lift stations. The lift stations work on either a
float or air system. They are listed as follows:
LS#1 Terrace Lane
Float
LS#2 Elizabeth Street
Air
LS#3 NC Hwy 35 South
Air
LS#4 NC Hwy 35 South
Float
LS#5 NC Hwy 35 South
Air
LS#6 Ampac Road
Float
LS#7 Pine Street
Float
LS#8 Poplar Circle
Air
LS#9 NC Hwy 35 North
Float
LS#10 Phillips Hill Road
Air
There are two (2) pumps that normally run in alternating series, with one pump beginning when the
volume is sufficient to trigger the mercoid switch, as that pump is working if the volume is sufficient
to cause the second mercoid switch to turn on the second pump, then both pumps will run until the
volume has been reduced to a point that no longer requires the use of the second pump. The pumps
are made by Gorman Rupp.
The lift stations are equipped with a red light and buzzer that comes on when the volume rises to the
high level and will remain on until cut off. The lift stations are connected to a telemetry system that
calls a sequence of phone numbers if the alarm rings. Those numbers are as follows:
Public Works Supervisor cell phone [phone]
Police Chief cell phone [phone]
Town Halt 252-585-0488
Poplar Circle is equipped with a permanent diesel generator. The other lift stations are serviced with
a portable generator if the power fails.
If circumstances arise that would prevent the normal power or the generator from working, Bryant &
Lassiter should be called immediately at 252-587-4321, or David Cooper cell #252-209-1002. Any
time a sewer line (gravity or force main) breaks or backs up, the contents should be kept from
entering the ditch or any stream. If this occurs immediately call for assistance from Bryant &
Lassiter and have them to commit as many trucks as necessary to take care of the spill.
The town has a backhoe and keeps sand and dirt located in a stock pile at the public works shop. If
a spill occurs a sufficient amount of dirt should be placed around the spill by either the backhoe or
dump truck to contain the spill, to protect the public and from getting to any receiving streams. Any
liquid should be soaked up with cat litter, oil dry, or other absorbent materials and properly
disposed of. Any sand or dirt that was used to restrict the spill should be treated as contaminated
and disposed of accordingly.
Any time work is being performed with or around wastewater; protective clothing is to be worn,
including boots, latex or plastic gloves and other necessary equipment to protect the employee from
being contaminated by the wastewater. After each occurrence the employee should go to their
residence and take a shower before returning to work.
Any injury must be immediately reported to the supervisor and if necessary call the Conway Severn
Rescue Squad by calling 911.
Any break, leak, back-up or other irregularity with wastewater should be reported immediately to the
ORC at 252-678-2842 and the Public Works Supervisor at 252-396-1497.
