Amount Requested: $2,165,000
Montgomery County, NC
From the EPA STAG Water & Wastewater Infrastructure Project Account, which will go to Montgomery County, North Carolina. This project consists of a new 1 million gallon storage water tank near Wadeville and additional booster pumps at Stations 1 and 2. These components will lower pressure problems in the area, and provide the needed backup pumps at Stations 1 and 2. Currently, the booster pump stations at these locations do not have a secondary pump capable of meeting the daily demand. The existing Wadeville tank is only a 100,000 gallon tank and is not at an elevation high enough to provide constant service for all customers at higher elevations within the system. Funding for this project will help local, state, and federal governments to provide improved water infrastructure to an economically depressed area. The project received funding in FY'09.
