Mooresville Southern Wastewater Improvements Project

In 2019 the Town approached Banning Engineering to review their existing wastewater infrastructure to the south of White Lick Creek.
While improvements had been made in some areas, much of the infrastructure was from the 1970’s and 1980’s.
Banning was awarded the design work based on the findings of the initial planning study and the upgrades were broken up into two phases.
The first phase called for the replacement of two lift stations, one with a pumpage rate of 800 gallons per minute and the other with a pumpage rate of 1400 gallons per minute. New forcemains would have to be installed to accommodate the increased flow.
The second phase includes the decommissioning of a lift station to connect via gravity to one of the lift stations in the first phase.
Additionally, a large 1,000 gallon per minute station would replace an existing dual siphon crossing White Lick Creek and two other lift stations would be retrofitted with new pumps, electrical/controls, and back-up generators.
Phase 1 is nearing completion and is expected to be operational by July 2021.
Phase 2 is expected to be bid in the fall of 2021 and construction is expected to be completed at the end of 2022.
