Explanation
§ This agreement will allow the city to accept wastewater flow from the City of Belmont and allows for the construction of a sewer lift station and dual sanitary sewer lines under the Catawba River.
§ The agreement supports the Stowe Regional Water Resource Recovery Facility (Stowe RWRRF) (adjacent to Council Districts 2 and 3) and associated regional infrastructure, outlined in a presentation to City Council on April 9, 2018.
§ On May 13, 2013, Council approved a Memorandum of Agreement and authorized a Nutrient Allocation Purchase Agreement with the City of Belmont.
§ On February 13, 2017, Council approved a professional services agreement for a Preliminary Engineering Report that provided preliminary design for the Stowe RWRRF and associated Belmont and Mount Holly facilities.
§ On October 7, 2019, the Belmont City Council approved the Interlocal Agreement.
§ The design and construction contracts for the Belmont and Mount Holly facilities as well as the Stowe RWRRF will be presented to Council at future meetings.
Background
§ The city’s studies indicated the need for a wastewater treatment plant near the confluence of Long Creek and Lake Wylie. It also indicated that wastewater treatment needs for Mecklenburg County, the City of Belmont, and the City of Mount Holly could be best met through a regional partnership.
§ The Stowe RWRRF will consolidate three significant discharge permits for existing wastewater treatment plants for Belmont, Mount Holly, and Clariant Corporation, and will require Belmont and Mount Holly to decommission their existing plants.
