Wastewater Collection System
2023 Annual Report
This Annual Report for the City of Archdale Wastewater Collection System is prepared and submitted as
required by House Bill 1160 of the Clean Water Act of 1969. This report summarizes the City of Archdale's
Collection System performance over a twelve-month period from January 2023 to December 2023. It identifies
the extent to which any of the terms of its permit, federal laws, state laws, rules, or regulations related to the
protection of water quality have been violated.
Collection System Overview
The City of Archdale owns and operates its wastewater collection system. The collection system operates under
Permit #WQCS00312 issued by the State of North Carolina. On average the City collects 900,000 gallons of
wastewater each day and transports it through 79 miles of gravity collection lines, 10 pump stations, and 6.2
miles of force mains to the City of High Point's Eastside Wastewater Treatment Plant. The City of Archdale
owns 2.5 million gallons per day of treatment capacity in the Eastside Plant.
All pump stations are equipped with audible and visible alarms and a SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data
Acquisition) electronic monitoring system. Six of the pump stations are equipped with permanent standby
generators and portable generators are available for the other pump stations in case of power outages. Each
pump station is visibly inspected at least 2 times a week by a Public Works Department employee. In addition,
the City has developed a contingency plan to deal with failure at any one of the City's sewer pump stations.
Collection System Performance
The City's goal is to have zero spills and overflows from its collection system. Unfortunately, because pump
stations are mechanical devices and sewer collection systems are subject to clogs from grease, roots,
construction debris, and litter, all systems are subject to spills and overflows.
To help prevent spills and overflows the City uses remote cameras and television equipment to visibly inspect
lines and routinely flushes lines to minimize future problems. In addition, a Sewer Overflow Response Plan has
been prepared that identifies equipment, supplies, and on -call employees that are available to help mitigate spills
and procedures to follow should an overflow or spill occur.
The City of Archdale Public Works Department routinely inspects and cleans collection system lines each year.
This past year, over 45,000 feet of line was flushed and over 1,700 feet was inspected by remote television
cameras. Additionally, all collection system right-of-ways and easements are routinely inspected, accessible,
and mowed annually.
