RE: System Performance Annual Wastewater Report 1
Dear Mr. Stevens:
I certify under penalty of law that this annual report has been prepared under my direction
and supervision. Based upon inquiry of the qualified personnel who manage the facilities
mentioned and who assisted in gathering the available information, the information is to
the best of my knowledge and belief, true, accurate and complete. I am aware that there
are significant penalties for false certification, including the possibility of fine and
imprisonment.
Please find attached three (3) copies of the City of Claremont's System Performance
Annual Wastewater Report for the period of July 1, 2021 — June 30, 2022. This report
was placed on the City of Claremont's website at:
https://claremont.municipalcros.com/files/documents/FY21 WastewaterReport16941222
14090822PM.pdf
The City of Claremont also released the information to the local paper, The Observer
News Enterprise, where it was printed on September 10, 2022. Finally, information on
how to access the report was also sent to all utility customers via mail on September 14,
2022
I apologize for the delay in reporting this year. While the report was created in a timely
manner by our ORC, the City of Hickory, the distribution of that report was delayed based
on human error in our office. Measures have been put in place to ensure that does not
happen again. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at
[phone].
Sincerely,cr. 4 • Tzxcc.,..—.

The North Wastewater Treatment Facility is a 0.100 MGD Wastewater Treatment System that accepts and treats wastewater from locations in the
City of Claremont.
The Facility is a conventional activated sludge facility, which utilizes microorganisms to treat the wastewater. The effluent is chlorinated to remove
pathogenic bacteria that might be present and then dechlorinated to remove the chlorine residual before it is discharged into the receiving stream.
The bio-solids residuals removed as part of the treatment process are transported to the Hickory Regional Compost Facility for processing into Class
A-EQ compost.
