Water Resources Development Act Requests
Project 111-NC-8th-005: Water line from Albermarle to Concord and Kannapolis. Albermarle has excess water capacity and would help other cities meet their demand.

Project 111-NC-8th-004: The project constructs an 87,500 foot waterline connecting an existing potable water source with Kannapolis, Concord and Southern Rowan County.

Project 111-NC-8th-003: The East Meck N-S Water Transmission Main is a large diameter water main which will improve water service to Eastern Mecklenburg County. The project consists of 6 miles of new, large diameter water lines which will provide for additional water capacity in eastern Charlotte and Mecklenburg County to provide for additional growth capacity and to improve fire protection.
The East Meck N-S Water Transmission Main project is critical to continued development with the eastern portion of Charlotte and Mecklenburg County. Based on current modeling and flow measurements in the existing water distribution system, insufficient capacity exists to support continued growth into the future years.

Project 111-NC-8th-002: Hoke County Waste water treatment plant. This project is designed to deal with the residential growth caused by soldiers stationed at Fort Bragg. A wastewater treatment plant will help Hoke County with the infrastructure necessary to build a commercial tax base sufficient to fund services for the increase in military families due to BRAC growth.

Project 111-NC-8th-001: Expand authority granted by the 2007 WRDA, section 219 from $6 million to $20 million for the City and County wide water and sewer systems improvements. The region must prepare for thousands of new families relocating to the Fayetteville-Cumberland County area as a result of BRAC and much of the county’s rural population has limited access to potable water sources. If this project were to be funded through annual user fees, it would require an increase of approximately $1,000 per year per household, a significant hardship on rural residents. Because many residential neighborhoods were built with septic tanks instead of center sewer, the systems are decades old and starting to fail. Several homes have already been condemned by the County’s Health Department due to failed septic systems and are no longer repairable. Some subdivisions are in close proximity to water courses which are feeder tributaries to Cape Fear River.
