Total rainfall amounted to more than 1 inches in just two hours with just 48 hours of notice from local weather reporting outlets. On behalf of the City of Belmont, city crews responded to high level alerts at the City of Belmont Lift Station at the address above and immediately began pumping down the wet well levels with two pump/vacuum trucks. Unfortunately,the levels rose quicker than could be mitigated. Crews utilized a Sewer/Vacuum truck to clean up the overflow and return levels to normal. Lime was applied to the affected area. A press release was drafted and released to local print and media outlets to alert the public to the overflow incident. The City of Belmont worked diligently to pump down the wet well and limit overflow volume to the best of its ability. There was no expected impact on wildlife or public health stemming from this overflow. The City of Belmont has received an AIA grant to invest in system mapping and assessment. The sewer mains surrounding this lift station are undergoing this assessment to identify root causes of inflow and infiltration. The City of Belmont has also conducted smoke testing and CCTV videoing of nearby mains. The City of Belmont is striving to improve this system to prevent overflows in the future. Sincerely, William Carroll Public Works Director PO BOX 431 11401 E CATAWBA ST, BELMONT, NC 28012 I WWW.CITYOFBELMONT.ORG
