PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Yadkin Valley Sewer Authority (YVSA)
2018 Collection System Rehabilitation Project
Elkin, North Carolina
E-SRP-W-17-0124
The project is located in the Towns of Elkin (Surry County) and Jonesville (Yadkin County). The YVSA
maintains the sewer collection system in the towns of Elkin,Jonesville, and Ronda (Wilkes County).
The primary purpose of the project is to address inadequate sewer piping and to address inflow and
infiltration from aging sewer infrastructure that causes SSO's and subsequent NOV's.
The project includes the following: j
• New 8" PVC gravity sewer (2,176 LF) and ductile iron pipe (388 LF)to replace approximately
2,564 LF of 4" orangeburg and 6" clay gravity sewers.
All proposed gravity sewer pipe will be SDR 35 PVC or ductile iron pipe.
The project also includes the rehabilitation of approximately 17,367 LF of 8" gravity sewer by cured in
place pipe and various manhole and pipe defect rehab/repairs.
Since no new flow is being added, a FTSE form was not completed.
