McG91 Plant
Addition Cost
To Be $205,000
By MARTIN HARMON
W. K. Dickson, the city’s con
sulting civil engineer, has put a
S1.003,(X)0 price tag 01^ a Pilot
Creek sewage disposal plant sys
tem to serve the western portion
of the city. It would be an ex-
ended aerated flow type.
The anticipated cost of ex
pansion of the McGill treatment
plant is $205,(KX).
Mr. Dickson retained his Xig-
jre of $S95,C30 for a western
:ewago disposal system on Bee
son’s Creek.
He envisions a three trillion
gallon daily capacity treatment
plant on Pilot Creek and a two
million gallon daily plant on Bee-
jon’s Creek,
The 500,000 gallon daily capac
ity of the McGill plant would be
doubled to one million gallons
daily.
The Pilot Creek estimates are
contained in a preliminary engi
neering report filed Friday with
Mayor John Henry Moss and
with the State Stream Sanitation
committee in Raleigh.
The report notes that the pro
ject should qualify for federal
grants under Public Law 660
which range up to 30 percent ef
otal cost, exclusive of site,
Ights-of-way, and other exclu
sions he termed minor.
The board of comt.rissioners
was considering the report in a
special session early Wednesday
afternoon.
Mayor Moss said he anticipat
ed the board will await recom
mendation of the state commit-
tee^with which the city has
contracted to have the new plant
and McGill plant addition in op
eration not later than December
31, 1967.
Wilbur E. Long, chief of the
committee’s municipal waste sec
tion, when conversing with the
ooard of commissioners in May
rade a strong recommendation
that the city utilize Pilot's Creek.
Mr. Long said the flow of Pilot
Creek is treble that of Beeson’s.
Engineer Dickson, in his report
'ecommending utilization of Bee
son’s Creek, noted that pumpage
costs would be less and that
placement of the treatment plant
far downstream would open for
development a quite large area.
Mr. Long explained to the
•'oard that priorities are assign
ed for recommendation for fed
eral grants on basis of a point
system.
Mr. LoniT pointed out that the
city, by April 1, 1966, should:
“11 Secure or obtain an option
on suitable site, approved by this
office, for the location of the
treatment plant.
“2) Obtain necessary ease-
ixents and rights-of-way.
“3) Arrange financing with
Local Government Commission
and hold successful bond refer
endum.
“4> Submit final plans and
specifications for the project a-
long with application for a Fed
eral Grant.”
