Town of Pittsboro
FY 2000-2001 Wastewater Consumer Confidence Report
Pittsboro Treatment Plant
V" a
The Town of Pittsboro is pleased to present its
2001 Wastewater Consumer Confidence Report
to the citizens served by the Pittsboro Waste-
water Treatment Plant. This report covers the
period of time between 7/1/00 and 6/30/01.
The Pittsboro plant is permitted to treat up to
750,000 gallons per day of wastewater. The
collection system consists of an estimated 12
miles of sewer mains. The plant serves
approximately eight hundred eighty one (88 1)
residential and commercial customers. The Town
of Pittsboro also has a State of North Carolina
Approved Pretreatment program with two (2)
permits issued at this time.. One (1) permit is
issued to Hydro Tube South and the other permit
is held by Townsends Food,Inc.
Wastewater enters the plant and flows through a
structure known as a bar screen, which catches
large objects. The waste stream then enters a
wetwell where it is pumped into two (2) aeration
basins, which help to raise the dissolved oxygen
content in the water. Through use of an activated
sludge process, the biochemical oxygen demand
and other parameters are treated with the activat-
ed sludge then this treated water enters advanced
treatment by going through sand filtration and
then UV disinfection to meet the limits of our
Discharge permit issued by the State of North
Carolina. The treated wastewater is discharged
into Roberson Creek which then flows into
Jordan Lake.
The operator -in -responsible charge (ORC) of the
Pittsboro Wastewater Treatment Plant is James

charge (ORC) of the Pittsboro Wastewater Col-
