The Town of Mocksville appreciates the opportunity to respond to the Notice of Violation for
the Sanitary Sewer Overflow on December 17 2020.
December 17 2020 at 15:00 hr. I was notified that the sewer line aerial off Eaton Road had been.
damage and was leaking in to a tributary.of Leonard Creek. -I immediately called the ORC and
notified him that Sewer -line aerial had been damaged and was leaking. Upon arrival we
determined the pipe size to be 18" clay and our equipment was inadequate for the job. I
contacted our private contractor to come in to help restore service, and called our parts
supplier for pipe. The only type of pipe we could find was 24" HDPE for a temporary fix, and
order ductile lined pipe. We replaced the old aerial with 24" HDPE pipe with bracing across the
creek, and after muddying in both connection and having no leaks. We finished up at 03:00 hr.

We notified Gary Hudson for the 24hr. verbal notification: and an estimation of flow and split to
determine 300,000 gals: And we.think heavy rains. contributed to the damage;of the sewer line
aerial. We followed up with the 5 day report.
On January 26 2021 we setup a pump around for the sewer line aerial for a permanent fix of
50ft. 18" ductile lined pipe.
We trust that this letter addresses our response to the Notice of Violation and demonstrates
the Town of Mocksville's commitment to improving the reporting, record keeping, and over all
condition of the wastewater collection system.. Based on the immediate actions taken to
resolve the issues, and permanent repair. We respectfully request that the division not seek any
further enforcement action for the Notice of Violation.
If the Town can be of any further assistance or additional information.or pictures are need,
