Request for Sewer Service Outside the CCWSD
Gary
Tweed explained that the Cane Creek Water and Sewer District
had recently received a request for sewer service from a proposed subdivision,
Oak Farm, located in the Town of Mills River approximately ˝ mile outside the
CCWSD boundary. In order for the project
to be served it will require the construction of a private pump station and
force main connecting into the district’s gravity sewer line at Mills River
Elementary School. The issue before the Board is - do we allow
service outside the district boundary and if so, do we seek to expand the
district boundary. It is not necessary
to expand the district boundary to serve outside the boundary. Secondary issues revolve around the Sanitary Sewer
Interceptor Master Plan that calls for the Boylston Creek Interceptor and Pump
Station to serve this same area and the District Policy on sewer extensions
within municipalities. The Town of Mills
River placed this interceptor project on the Master Plan.
This matter was reviewed by the
CCWSD Advisory Board on July
25, 2006. It is their
recommendation that we allow service outside the district boundary and expand
the boundary when demand for service would warrant expansion of the boundary.
Staff was present and discussed
the matter with the Board. It was
staff’s recommendation that should the Board allow Oak Far to connect by use of
a private lift station, that they be required to construct as much gravity
sewer as possible extending the District line at Mills River Elementary. The private lift station and force main will
not be taken over by the district for ownership, operation and maintenance.
The County Manager
recommended allowing Oak Farm to connect to the sewer system by use of a
private lift station, that they be required to construct as much gravity sewer
as possible extending the district line at Mills River Elementary. The private lift station and force main will
not be taken over by the district for ownership, operation and maintenance.
Commissioner McGrady made the motion that the Board adjourn as the Henderson County Board of Commissioners and
convene as the Cane Creek Water and Sewer District. All voted in favor and the motion carried.
Commissioner Messer made the motion to allow Oak Farm to connect to the

construct as much gravity sewer as possible extending the district line at Mills River
Elementary School. The private lift station and force main will
not be taken over by the District for ownership, operation and
maintenance. All voted in favor and the
motion carried.
Commissioner McGrady made the motion that the Board adjourn as the Cane
Creek Water and Sewer District and reconvene as the Henderson County
Board of Commissioners. All voted in
favor and the motion carried.
