Town of Winterville — Sanitary Sewer Pump Station Rehabilitation 2020
File 2020068 D
The purpose. of this memorandum is to provide a narrative of the Town of Winterville's proposed
Sanitary- Sewer Pump Station Rehabilitation project to accompany the project's Fast -Track
0
Application.
The major items of work for this project submitted for review under the Fast Track permitting.
program include rehabilitation/replacement of four (4) aged sewer pump stations in.the Town of
Winterville. Chapman Street Pump Station improvements includes construction of a new 1,325 .
GPM submersible sewage pump. station, installation of new electrical equipment, relocation of j
existing emergency generator, 35 LF of 8-inch DIP force main, and 4,500 LF of 12-inch PVC force�N�� 1 j
main. Robinson Heights rump Statioai improvements includes replacemen o e electrical gear 9
and addition of an automatic transfer switch.- Winterville Cr2Uin2 Pump Station will be abandoned
and flow diverted via 860. LF. of new 10" and 15" PVC gravity sewer. The ZTrc Street u ap 3 �.
Stan improvements includes construction of a new 1,511 GPM submersible sewage pump
station, electrical modifications, and 3,000 LY of 12-inch PVC. force main. p�P4
�I94&hp
> . This project is intended to provide improvements to the Winterville Sanitary Sewer System by
increasing pumping capacity of the Chapman and Church Street Pump Stations which are
inadequate to support the current demand and nominal population growth. The. Chapman Street
Pump Station is over fifty years old and the existing dual 6" force mains will need to .be upsized
to 12". to support the expected growth. Recent flow data and proposed development in the service
area of the Church Street Pump Station has indicated the pump station will exceed the current
available capacity. Additionally,,the:existing 8" force main. is currently undersized for the existing -
flow and will need .to be increased to handle the proposed flow from the pump station.
The 401 Water Quality Certification is currently pending.. -
