Annual Sewer Report for 2023
Junaluska Sanitary District — Collection System:
Junaluska Sanitary District (JSD) is a sewer collection system and is a satellite system to the Town
of Waynesville's Wastewater Treatment Plant. The Town of Clyde is a satellite system to JSD. The
collection system consists of sewer lines, pump stations, and all the appurtenances that convey
the wastewater from the residents and businesses as well as the Town of Clyde to the Town of
Waynesville's wastewater treatment plant. All of the wastewater generated and collected by JSD
is treated at the Waynesville treatment plant located at 566 Walnut Trail Rd. Waynesville, NC

Notes:
• JSD was awarded an AIA Grant through the State Revolving Fund for GIS mapping of our
entire system. Throughout the year has inspected and documented our entire sewer
system in order to record location, material, depth and pertinent information of all our
MH's and lines. During this process for each item (MH's and Lines) that needed work,
repair or cleaning we generated work orders. The crew came behind the inspection and
performed the work for our entire system. This information was recorded in our Sewer
System record books. In addition, we are working and being trained on the GIS system to
record certain pertinent information in the actual GIS software.
• JSD was awarded a grant through The Community Foundation of WNC, the Pigeon River
Fund to repair and improve manholes along the Pigeon River within our District. Through
this grant, JSD is rehabilitating approximately 30 manholes by waterproofing (seal/wrap),
replacing cones and replacing rings and lids.
• During 2023, JSD has implemented a new SCADA software for our entire system (Water
and Sewer). With this project we have installed a new monitoring that allows us to
remotely observe and monitor our 3 sewer pump stations. The SCADA gives our crew, the

staff and on -call person the capability to see the pump station operation on our laptops,
crew iPad and cell phones. The system sends out notifications and alarms to our cell
phones. This includes power, high levels and any system related issues. If the SCADA
system goes down or offline, it will automatically send a text to inform our operation that
the system is down. JSD has implemented a procedure that when an alarm for the sewer
pump stations goes off, the on -call crew member is required to visit the site immediately.
Wastewater Conveyance and Sanitary Sewer Overflows (SSO):
During the calendar year of 2023, over millions of gallons of wastewater was collected and
conveyed to the Waynesville wastewater treatment plant. JSD had one (1) SSO during the year
totaling 13,845 gallons that was reported to NCDEQ. The SSO gallons per month were as follows:
