Description of Collection System or Treatment Process:
The collection system consists of five lift stations located throughout the Town and 125 low
pressure grinder pumps at customers homes. The main lift station that takes the wastewater to
the treatment plant is located on Clinton Street at the Park. 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 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 four miles down US
Hwy 701S,at Hobbton School 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 supply backup power to the wastewater treatment plant during power
outages. The generator is automatically exercised weekly to insure proper operation during
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 150,000 gallons of sludge are applied each year.
