Franklin County is in receipt of NOV-2024-DV-0433 dated October 09, 2024. Events that led to
the SSO for which this NOV references was due to heavy rain and storms in a short period of time.
Rain from the event was recorded at four plus inches within a three-hour timeframe. This event
was an unnamed tropical low-pressure system that fed in from the coast.
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 the
planning stage and will assist in efficiency of the station.
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,
Chris opher Dohe
Director of Public Utilities
