Dear Mr. Vinson,
Franklin County is in receipt of NOV-2023-DV-0200 dated May 08,2023. Events that led to the SSO for which this
NOV references was due to heavy rain in a short period of time. Rain from the event was recorded at four plus
inches within a seven -hour timeframe.
Franklin County staff have worked diligently in the weeks since this event to determine sources of I&I into the
system and are currently creating a plan to address areas of the system deemed to be suspect. Franklin County's
Board of Commissioners have approved, in the 2024 fiscal year, budget funds dedicated to sewer line and
manhole rehabilitation. Once the evaluation of the system is complete these funds will be used to mitigate and
correct issues within the system. Please note, a project to increase the Youngsville Lift Station force main is also
currently in discussions and will assist in allowing the station to be more efficient.
We are confident that with the above mentioned plan of action Franklin County can greatly lessen the chance of
future SSO's occurring within the system.
If you have any further questions, please contact our office at 919-556-6177.
Sincerely,
woo
