SUBJECT: RESPONSE TO NOTICE OF VIOLATION
Tracking Number: NOV-2024-DV-0296
Permit Number: WQCS00179
Franklin County Collection System
Franklin County

Dear Ms. Manuel,
Franklin County is in receipt of NOV-2024-DV-0296 dated July 29, 2024. The SSO for which this NOV
references was due to grease and debris in the main sewer line.
The problem was evaluated, and staff began repairs immediately. Collection system line maintenance
continues to be a high priority and other areas have been reevaluated since this event. Franklin County’s Board
of Commissioners have approved funding dedicated to sewer line and manhole rehabilitation.
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,

Christopher Doherty, Director of Public Utilities
Franklin County
