BY SOLOMON-NORCROSS CO., CONSULTING ENGINEERS ATLANTA, GA. _ . To THE HONORABLE MAYOR !■ V AND COMMISSIONERS OF THE CITY OP GRAHAM, N. C. Gentlemen In conformity with your instructions, we have made a survey of the City of Graham, and outlying section, for the purpose of determining the | best manner for providing the City with adequate system of Sanitary Sewers. Attached hereto is our report, with estimates of cost, and such other information as you will need in presenting this matter to your citizens The study of the sarvilUry and topographical features, both in the city and surrounding country, has been th rough, and we believe tliat a sewer system cor.eiructcd as r'.''i>mm'hded in the accompanying plans and report will best serve the present need of the city and anticipate the probable needs of/ihe future, as far as it is reasonably possible. Wry respectfully, SOLOMON-NORCROSS CO. PREAMBLE. Under authorization granted by the Honorable Mayor and Commis sioners of the city of Graham, on September 12, 1919, Surveys and Investiga tions were made from which were prepared preliminary plans and estimates of cost for the construction of a Sanitary Sewerage System. The result of these investigations, together with Preliminary Plans and Estimates, a resubmitted herewith: CITY OF GRAHAM, N. C.: Graham is situated in the Haw River Drainage Basin on a ridge be teen Town Branch and Little Alamance Creek. The General elevation of the city is between 600 and 650 feet above sea leveU It is suburban and residen tial in character, the principal industries consist of four cotton mills, widely separate, except for two, and these with their contiguous operatives home for three mill centers. The corporate limits are for the moat .part south of the Southern Railroad and comprise an area of about 960 acres. About 60 pfer cent, of this has been developed by streets, and the remainder is in farmland. One prin cipal throughfare, Main Street, runs from the railroad, in a southeasterly direction,, to the center of the city, and thence southerly to the Court House Square and continues to the south corporate limits. Graham is the County Seat of Alamance County and aside from tilts cotton industries is the center of a well developed agricultural section. Buildings as a rule are substantial and well kept, Streets are well maintained. Natural drainage conditions are excellent, but with the excep tion of a few individual cases, no attempt has been made to provide for the sanitary disposal of sewage. TOPOGRAPHY: The City is for the most part situated on ridges dividing Town Branch from Dye Branch and Little Alamance Creek: Main Street is located along the crest of the main ridge, running North and South; another ridge leading to the West along College Street, and another to the East along Har din Street, divides the city into four seperate drainage districts. The Northwest district (A) slopes rapidly to the Westward and drains into Little Alamance Creek, the Southwest district (B) slopes to the Southwest, and drains into Dye Branch, the Southeast district (D), drains gently to a tributary of Town Branch, and the Northeast district (C) slopes to the Southeast and is the source of Town Branch. In general the difference in elevation between the low points in these districts and the ridge is about fifty feet. Four natural drainage districts are thus formed with Main Street as the approximate dividing line, North'and South, and with East Hardin and College Streets as the dividing line running East and West, respective- Town Branch is seen, by refering to Plate No. 2, to discharge into Haw River, about three and one half miles from the city, whereas the waters of Little Alamance Creek flow about six miles before reaching the river. POPULATION: The population of Graham in 1890 was 991, in 1900, 2052 and in 1910 2504: A very slow growth is shown: Improvements in sanitary conditions, to gether with the development of the textile industry, should, however, add ma terially to the population within the next few years. Based upon census records, the population of the City in 1940 would be less than 4000, if past rates of increase were maintained. However, after consideration of the development of Graham in the past two years, and the iccent general rapid increase in the Cities and Towns thruout the South, Chart No. 2 indicates that it is reasonable to expect that the City will develop ap proximately as shown. In the design of the system, a growth along these lines was con- and the>City will be amply served by the construction of the system as shown upon the accompanying maps. SANITARY CONDITIONS: Most of the sanitary sewage is at present disposed of by cesspools or vaults. In the business section, a sewer leading from the Court House Westward to Dye Branch, affords some relief to that locality, and a aewer discharging towards Town Branch, serves a few homes north of East Har din Street. Two mills discharge their waste Tind sewage into Dye Branch, another into Little Alamance Creek, and another to Town Branch. The dis charge of this sewage has always been a source of trouble and of some litigation. The discharge of raw sewage practically within the city limits forms a menace to the health of the community, and is extremely objectionable and .detrimental from the standpoint of the future growth and expansion of the CStyi Under certain atmospheric conditions the odors from cesspools and sewage are very noticeable and give rise to conditions no longer tolerated in progressive communities. WATER SUPPLY: V_ Water for Graham is furnished the City by a private corporation, The Graham Water and Electric Co. The supply is obtained from deep wells, pumped into an elevated steel tank, and distributed by gravity thru cast and galvanized iron mains: The Company reports at the present time a daily consumption of approximately 300,000 gallon*. The consumption will probably increase after the installation of sewers, but the water should be able to meet any anticipated demand of the near future by drilling one or more additional wells, and also adding one new deep well pumping head. The addition of this new pumping head, and one or more deep wells, properly equipped, would provide sufficient water for some time. * " ' Graham, N. C. is one of the few American municipalities that can boast of a fully metered water system. Proper maintenance will prevent excessive waste of water, with its consequent load on the sewers. We have assumed in our calculations an average per capita per day consumption of 100 gallons. Experience has shown that this figure is higher where water meters arc in use. BASIS FOR DESIGN: With a present pcpu'a'Jon of about 3000, and an estimated popula tion of 10,ni.0 m 1940, we nav •Ic.'igncd for a lav tmum consumption of 100 gallons per capita daily. Records of American municipalities of this charac ter indicate that only about 75 per cent, of the total water used reaches the Sewerage System. This would mean,with the entire City sewered, that at hto present the daily volume of sewage would be 225,000 gallons, and 750,000 gallons daily in 1940. GENERAL PLAN: , Because of the natural division of the city by ridges, practically at right angles with each other, the collection of all sewage into one outfall by gravity was considered too costly to be undertaken. The general schemes were investigated which will be called Plan A and Plan B. Plan B contemplates the collection of all sewage from the East side of the City, that is from Districts "C" and "D" into one outfall, as shown on Plate No. 2, this outfall to run along Town Branch to Haw River. The sewage from the West side, Districts "A" and "B", would discharge into out falls leading into Little Alamance Creek, and Dye Branch, respect ively. Theee two outfalls would meet at a Sewage Disposal Plant to be located near the mouth of Dye Branch. Here the sewage, after being treated by Set tling Tanks, Filters and Chlorine, would be discharged into Little Alamance Creek. GRAHAM, N. C., THURSDAY. JANUARY 15, 1920 Under this scheme the shortening of the outfall along Little Ala mance Creek, by using a cut off, as shown on Plate No. 2, was considered. | The Sewage Disposal Plant in this case would be located about one half mile north of the mouth of Dye Branch, and on Little Alamance Creek. Under Plan "A" the sewage from the East side is collected as in Plan "B", the sewage form District "A" is intercepted by a collecting well •t Whitsett and North Sts and pumpted by automatic controlled electric pumps thru a four (4) inch cast iron main to a point on Whitsett St. east of the rail road Spur. Here it would be diacharged into the Collecting system, and flow to the Town Creek Outfall. District "B" would be intercepted by a collect ing well at Elm St. near Dye Branch, and pumped by uutomatically controll ed electrically driven pumps, thru a six (6) inch cast iron main to the corner of Maple and Elm Streets, Where It would, like District "A", be discharged into the Town Branch Outfall: Because of the largge volume of water in Haw River,the discharge of Graham,s sewage would not constitute a nuisance. The dilution would be so gre*t that this volume of sewage would not be objectionable. From the standpoint of initial cost, and operation, the discharge of all sewage along Town Branch into Haw River was considered best, and plans for the proposed System were developed accordingly. COLLECTING SYSTEM: The system as disigned will permit all of tho developed sections of the City being sewered immediately, and extensions to the undeveloped areas may be made as conditions warrant. Should it not be deemed expedient to construct ~ all of the proposed system at this time, certain latrals in the sptrsely settled sections may bo omitted without impairment of the system. As a rule the mains will be laid along the center of the streets, so as to afford equal service to all property. In order to avoid the tearing up of pave ment, however, on improved streets the sewer will be placed along the side of the road metal, and service laterals will extend to the opposite side, so that all buildings will have easy access. In Main Street, between Hardin and Pine Streets, and around the Court House Square, the conduits can be laid between the curb and sidewalk. The minimum size of pipe to be used is 8" and will range from this to .1£". Flush tanks to insure tho flushing and cleaning of sewers will be plac ed at the head of all lines. Manholes will be constructed at all intersections, changes in line and grade, and at frequent intervals on long lines. As previously stated the topography divides the city into four drain agedistricts: The Northeast District "C" (Plate No 2) will discharge its sewage from Albright St. and a point between Hill and Travora Sf to the Outfall along Town Branch; District "D", or the Southeast district, will dis charge along Mellville St. to a point midway between McAden and Pine, and thence Northeasterly and East of the cemetery, to the Town Branch Outfall. District "A" or the Northwest District, will drain to Whitsett and North Street, where the sewage will be pumped to the Collecting System on Whit sett St East of the Railroad Spur. District "B", the Southwest district, will drain to the Dye Branch, at Elm Street, where the sewage will be pump ed to the Collecting System at Maple and Elm Streets. The sewage /from the entire city will, therefore, be discharged thru one Outfall along Town Branch and into Haw River. PUMPING STATIONS: The Whitsett St. Pumping Station would.be called upon to pump not in excess of 50,000 gallons per day. The total head that the pumps would be required to operate against would be 40 feet: The sewers would empty into a Collecting well and when this well became filled to a certain elevation an au tomatically controlled electrically driven pump would be thrown into opera tion and force the sewage thru a four (4) inch cast iron main to the Collect ing System. Pumps and motors would be installed in duplicate, to insure certain operation. It is estimated that 12 K.W. hours would constitute the power comsumption per day for this plant: As the city grows the pumps would be required to operate for longer periods and in proportion to the amount of sewage received. The Pumping Station at Elm Street and Dye Branch would receive about 110,000 gallons per day: The general arrangement of the plant would be the same as the Whitsett St. station except that pumps would be of grater capacity and would be required to operate a 63" head. About 40 K. W Hours would constitute the daily power consumption of this plant The total powAr consumption fdr both plants, therefore, would be about 52 K. W. Hours. These plants would not require an operator in constant attendance: A visit once a day by some official or employee of the city to oil and inspect equipment would be about all the attendance required. HAW RIVER OUTFALL: The most direct route from the City permitting the construction of a sewer outfall capable of intercepting the city's sewage at a minimun cost lies along Town Branch. From its source in the city, in District "C" (Plate No. 2.), it flows in a general southeasterly direction to the Haw River, and dis charges into it about two thousand (2000) feet north of the Graham and Hills boro Road. Practically all of the city's drainage west of Main St. and a small area to the east of it, finds its way to this stream. The elevation of Haw River at the mouth of Town Branch is 480 feet above sea level: The elevation of Town Branch at Mellville St. is 587 above sea level. A fall of 107 feot :s therefore avuilable for sewer grades between the city and the river. ✓ The land along tho stream presents no unusual difficulties for sewer work. The major portion of it has been cleared and is easy of access from | the main highways. Most land along the stream has not been brought to a high state of cultivation and very little damage would result to crops during construction. After the sewer is in place crops may again be plant ed over it. Considerable rock is evident along the stream, but by crossing the Creek at several points most of it may be avoided: The length of the line from Mellville St., will be about Seventeen Thousand Seven Hundred (17,700) feot. The average grade will be about six feet per thousand. Pipe will be 12 inches and 15 inches in diamater. Manholes will be placed at frequent intervales along the line to permit of inspection, and cleaning when'necessary. The point of discharge wUI bo just south of the mouth of Town Ilranch and will be protected by a concrete bulkhead. The general alignment of the sewer is shown on Plate No. 2. RECOMMENDATIONS: Under the plan contemplating the use of two, pumping stations, the initial cost Qf the system is less than under the plan which includes a Sewage Disposal Mple Alamance Creek. Th«» operation of the* pUQipinjf station is aside from occasional inspections and cleanings will require very littleMttention. The Sewage Disposal Plant would, however, repuiru considerable attention and would have to be carefully and rigidly maintained to the highest point of efficiency t> results. Because of the large amount of dye stuffs being discharged into the sowers a perfectly clear effluent could not be hoped for at nil times, and this might const Aut« a possible source of dissatisfaction to the property owners along Little Alamance nr.'' Great Abimance ( reel's. The discharge, however of all sewage thru one Outfall direct to the Huw River would eliminate all future controversy. It is therefore recommended that, first, because of lesser cost, second, because of easier maintenance, and third, because of eliminations of dissat isfaction among piypcrty owners along above mentioned creeks, that nil few age be discharged directly into Haw River, and that the pumping stations be installed instead of a Disposal Plant and that the System lie constructed as outlined under Plan "A". ESTIMATES: The prices on all materials entering into the construction of a sewer system, as well as that of labor, have increased greatly during the past three years: There are no apparent indications of an early deciease in the cost of labor and materials. All prices upon which estimates are baaed are for the best materials and workmanship of their respective classes. Vitrified pipe will be used in sewer lines, except at creek crossings, here cast iron pipe is contem plated. Manholes and flushtanks will be built of concrete and brick. The most efficient type of centrifugal pumps and motors will be installed in con rete and brick pumping stations. The estimates included in this report are based upon current prices, j Unless there is a material change in prices before the contract for construc tion is let, thrv estimate .uhmi'ted should be ressonally cl»st to 'he actual ultimate cost.
