Wastewater Treatment Capacity - Monthly Update

body

INFORMATION CONTACT:  

John Shutak, Engineering Division Director, 704-283-3651

ACTION REQUESTED:

Receive status update on wastewater treatment capacity for the Twelve Mile Creek, Crooked Creek, Olde Sycamore, Tallwood, and Grassy Branch facilities.

BACKGROUND:

Union County Water is closely monitoring the wastewater treatment capacities at our Water Reclamation Facilities. Permitting Capacity is evaluated using the Actual Plant Flows plus the Permitted/Obligated Flows (unconnected). Union County Water was asked to provide regular updates. Below information is up to date through October 2021.

 

Twelve Mile Creek

                     Permitted Capacity (MGD) = 7.5

                     Actual Average Daily Flow (MGD) = 5.855

                     Actual + Permitted Obligated Flows (MGD) = 7.348

                     Percent of Permitted Flow Used = 98.0%

                     Actual Rainfall (in) = 1.1

 

Crooked Creek

                     Permitted Capacity (MGD) = 1.9

                     Actual Average Daily Flow (MGD) = 0.952

                     Actual + Permitted Obligated Flows (MGD) = 1.512

                     Percent of Permitted Flow Used = 79.6%

                     Actual Rainfall (in) = 1.1

 

Olde Sycamore

                     Permitted Capacity (MGD) = 0.15

                     Actual Average Daily Flow (MGD) = 0.037

                     Actual + Permitted Obligated Flows (MGD) = 0.037

                     Percent of Permitted Flow Used = 24.7%

                     Actual Rainfall (in) = 1.1

 

Tallwood

                     Permitted Capacity (MGD) = 0.05

                     Actual Average Daily Flow (MGD) = 0.029

                     Actual + Permitted Obligated Flows (MGD) = 0.029

                     Percent of Permitted Flow Used = 58.0%

                     Actual Rainfall (in) = 2.0

 

Grassy Branch

                     Permitted Capacity (MGD) = 0.05

                     Actual Average Daily Flow (MGD) = 0.049

                     Actual + Permitted Obligated Flows (MGD) = 0.050

                     Percent of Permitted Flow Used = 100.2%

                     Actual Rainfall (in) = 1.4

 

In addition to the wastewater treatment capacities, the following summarizes flow volumes associated with development projects that are in the planning and review process within the 12-mile Creek and Crooked Creek WRF service areas. The information shown is up to date through October 2021.

 

Twelve Mile Creek

                     Approved - Permit Submittal Pending

o                     Number of Projects = 7

o                     Requested Flow (MGD) = 0.178

                     Engineering Plan Review

o                     Number of Projects = 18

o                     Requested Flow (MGD) = 0.514

                     Sketch Plan Review

o                     Number of Projects = 24

o                     Requested Flow (MGD) = 0.742

                     Totals

o                     Number of Projects = 49

o                     Requested Flow (MGD) = 1.434

 

Crooked Creek

                     Approved - Permit Submittal Pending

o                     Number of Projects = 1

o                     Requested Flow (MGD) = 0.051

                     Engineering Plan Review

o                     Number of Projects = 10

o                     Requested Flow (MGD) = 0.292

                     Sketch Plan Review

o                     Number of Projects = 10

o                     Requested Flow (MGD) = 0.262

                     Totals

o                     Number of Projects = 21

o                     Requested Flow (MGD) = 0.605
