Explanation
§ This amendment will modify the existing Water and Sewer Agreement with the Water and Sewer Authority of Cabarrus County (WSACC) to jointly fund the Rocky River Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant (RRWWTP) Expansion Study.
§ The study is designed to evaluate the plant expansion needs for the RRWWTP, located in Cabarrus County, to accommodate increasing flows from Charlotte Water.
§ The interlocal agreement with WSACC enables Charlotte Water to collect, convey, and treat wastewater at the RRWWTP.
§ Flow contributions from Charlotte Water are expected to increase as a result of both population growth in Mecklenburg county and an increase in flow diversion from Mecklenburg to Cabarrus County.
§ On December 9, 2019, Council approved to modify the agreement to jointly fund a project that will bypass the Back Creek Pumping Station near University City Boulevard (Council District 4) and divert flows away from the Mallard Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant, which is approaching its current permitted treatment capacity limits, to the RRWWTP.
