PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Yadkin Valley Sewer Authority (YVSA)
2018 Pump Stations Rehabilitation
Elkin and Jonesville, North Carolina
CWSRF No. CS370541-05
The purpose of this project is to address six identified pump station (PS) deficiencies due to age and
deterioration, and poor foundation soils. The project is located in the towns of Elkin (Surry County)
and Jonesville (Yadkin County). The YVSA maintains the sewer collection in both towns.
Rehabilitation improvements would be completed at three stations, one would be eliminated (Shore St
PS), a force main improvement (repair) completed at one, and the last will address gquipment settling
issues. All pump station improvements work will be performed within the existing pump station sites.
For the Shore St PS elimination, the purpose of the 8" gravity lines is to transport the flow from the
eliminated station to a downstream pump station. The proposed new gravity lines will cross land that
will require clearing. The 8" lines will be per minimum NC design criteria.
The 3 pump station improvements (rehabilitation) will be as shown below, but improvements include
equipment replacement (pumps, valves, guide rails, etc.) and valve vault constructions. Consequently,
the 3 pump station rehabilitations fall under 15A NCAC 02T .0303 (a)(4)(F): in place pump station
repairs/upgrades and maintaining permitted capacity to within five percent of the original permitted
capacity for pump replacement, as such do not require permitting.
• Fox Hall PS (Elkin)—Rehabilitation: Replacing the pumps, rails, discharge pipes, valves, and
adding a valve vault. The station will remain a duplex station and the 25 gpm pumps will be
replaced with 25 gpm pumps.
• PVH PS (Jonesville)—Rehabilitation: Convert the existing suction lift station to a submersible
pump station by installing submersible pumps with appurtenances. The station will remain a
duplex station and the 220 gpm suction lift pumps will be replaced with 220 gpm submersible
pumps.
• Hampton Inn PS (Jonesville) — Rehabilitation: Convert the existing suction lift station to a
submersible pump station by installing submersible pumps with appurtenances. The station will
remain a duplex station and the 300 gpm suction lift pumps will be replaced with 300 gpm
submersible pumps. The new submersible pumps for this station will result in at least 20%
reduction in energy use.
Additionally, a criterion of this project because it is a state funded project, is that the 3 above stations
with pump replacements cannot be upsized to accommodate growth.
i
For the other two stations, one consists of replacing 200 LF of ex. 3"force main (Osborne St PS) and
the other is to repair equipment settling issues at the Regional PS.
