New Customers
BY SUSAN USHER
New customers tapping on the Shallotte sewer system
in the near future can expect to pay more.
Town aldermen last Wednesday night began looking at
a "capital reserve fee" that would be levied on new
customers to generate a chunk of the money needed to
enlarge tftc town 5 nastewster system.
They also discussed increasing the cost of installing
town water and sewer services, with any excess revenues
set aside for the same nnrnose
"It's a known fact we're going to have to do
something," reminded Mayor Beamon Hewett. "It's
coming and it won't be too far off."
About the time they levy any fees, he warned,
aldermen must also decide how to handle a possible flood
of applications and phone calls.
"I know it's coming," he added, noting that Ocean Isle

While sewer tap-ons may continue within the existing ]
town limits, the wastewater treatment plant must be i
enlarged before sewer mains are extended into newlyannexed
areas because if existing areas in town were to 1
all be developed, the plant would be operating at or
beyond capacity.
The existing system, according tn consulting engineer
Finley Bcney of Boney & Associates, has a capacity of
120,000 gallons per day. The town is currently using
100.000 oer dav.
Expanding the plant would require construction of an
additional 120,000-gallon lagoon, purchase of land and
aeveiopment of an irrigation field.
The lagoon would cos' about $408,000 and the irrigation
field, about $3,400 per each 1,000 gallons of effluent to be
applied.
As proposed the special fee would be levied on new
customers both within existing town limits and those out
of town who qualify for service after annexation or are
allowed to buy the service but remain outside town

Expansion Cost
In a related move, town aldermen also tentatively aproved
increased water and sewer rates for 1985-86
Wednesday and a water-sewer budget of $250,760, an inrease
of 28 percent over the current year, including a
ontribution of $13,060 from ABC Store revenues.
The budget also reflects proposed increases in the cost
f water and sewer installations, changps that would reuire
revision of town ordinances.
A water installation would increase from $300 to $350
nd sewer installation from $1,500 to $2,000. Any dif
srence in me town's cost and the fee charged would be
dded to the capital reserve fund for future expansion of
he utility systems. Mayor Beamon Hewett and
laintenance Superintendent Albert Hughes estimated
he town would be able to set aside $250 from each comined
water-sewer installation.
Still, at that rate, the mayor added, "it would take 45
ears to get enough to do it (expand the sewer system).
The budget includes $35,000 for the purchase of water
rom the county; during the current year the town will
