BACKGROUND
The proposed Phase II South Fork Sewer Project will pump wastewater generated from the Town of McAdenville and the Pharr Yarns facilities to the City of Gastonia - Two Rivers Utilities (TRU) wastewater collection system. The wastewater will then be pumped to and treated at the TRU’s Long Creek WWTP, which has ample available capacity and will treat the wastewater to a higher level than it is currently treated at the McAdenville and Pharr WWTPs.
The project consists of a new wastewater pump station located near the existing McAdenville WWTP, a new 16-inch diameter sewer forcemain that is approximately 2 miles long that will carry the wastewater from the new McAdenville pump station to the TRU system. The project also includes approximately 2,000 feet of gravity sewer to increase the capacity of the McAdenville collection system to carry the Pharr wastewater to the new pump station. The project includes the decommissioning and demolition of the existing McAdenville and Pharr WWTPs
