Appropriations Request

Badin Water and Sewer System Rehabilitation Project

Amount Requested: $1 million

Stanly County, NC

From the EPA STAG Water & Wastewater Infrastructure Project Account, which will go to Stanly County, North Carolina. This project involves the repair and replacement of water distribution system components, which have been contributing to unaccounted water loss. The project also includes the replacement of deteriorated water service lines, leaking valves, hydrants, and the general repair of all systems contributing to the loss of treated water. Additionally, the sewer component of this project will focus on the replacement of deteriorated brick manholes and clay pipe services. These repairs are intended to eliminate inflow and infiltration which if left unabated will lead to overflows of wastewater during rainfall events. Furthermore, the Badin area has been contaminated for decades with pollution and toxic dumping by Alcoa. Thus, a fully functional water and wastewater system are essential for public health. Funding for this project will help local, state, and federal governments to provide needed sanitation infrastructure and improve public health.
