RESOLUTION REGARD- Marshall.Woodall, °Attorney representing the.Buies Creek -Coats Water and Sewer
ING CAMPBELL District - Advisory Board, appeared before the Board and stated the County received
UNIVERSITY a letter on May 9-from Campbell University requesting that the agreement between
the University and Harnett County in reference to the charge for wastewater treat-
ment for Campbell be extended for one year from July 1, 1984. The County
forwarded this request - to the Buies Creek-Coats Water and Sewer Advisory Council
for their recommendation. Mr. Woodall presented' the following resolution from the
Advisory Council-as their recommendation:
.WHEREAS, Campbell University through its Board of Trustees in Session on May 4,
1984, has petitioned the Harnett County Board of Commissioners requesting that the
current limitation'of maximum charges for -its wastewater treatment be extended for
an additional one year period of time; and
WHEREAS, the Harnett - County Utility Department has been operating the wastewater
treatment plant since January 17, 1983.; that during said period of time, the sole
customer of the wastewater treatment plant has been Campbell University; and
WHEREAS, shortly-after-the Harnett County Public Utility Department commenced
operations of said wastewater treatment plant and required meters were installed
at the treatment plant, it became` apparent thatthe daily flows being received at the
treatment plant were greatly in excess of the amount that had been reported to the
North Carolina Department of Natural and - Community Development and that further
the flows during wet periods (rainy weather) were usually higher than normal; 'a
high flow was experienced on March 19, 1983 of 340,657 gallons; a second highest
flow was experienced on December 3, 1983, of 255,426 gallons;
WHEREAS, both parties agreed that the total flow being received at the waste-
water treatment plant isbeing_ sufficiently increased by surface water infiltratiot
so as to justify immediate_. attempts to discover and repair the - collection system
at the points of infiltration; and
WHEREAS, as a result of the foregoing knowledge the Harnett County Board of
Commissioners agreed with Campbell University for a period of one year (ending
July 1, 1984) to limit the charges for wastewater treatment to a daily charge for
actual use but not to exceed 95,000 gallons for any one day; that this action was,
for the purpose of giving an incentive to Campbell University to repair its
collection system lines at the points of infiltration; and
Notwithstanding the amount of infiltration by surface water, the waste-
water flow from the Campbell University collection system far exceeds the amount of
flow anticipated at the time previous contracts were entered into by the Harnett
County Board of Commissioners and at the time that construction plans were formu
lated to update the present treatment plant and the construction of the wastewater
collection system for the District;, and
WHEREAS, that the average daily flow from the University's wastewater system
is approximately 160,000 to 200,000 gallons per week day and approximately 100,000
to 130,000 gallons per day on the:weekends, and
WHEREAS, the actual cost to the Harnett County Utility Department for treating
wastewater has been increased as a result of surface water infiltration and that the
actual cost of treatment of said surface water infiltration must be considered in th
setting of'.rates; and
WHEREAS, the amount of waste water flow from the Campbell Univers
averaging greater than 95,000 gallons per day, and
WHEREAS, the County of Harnett and Campbell University have agreed to monitor
existing conditions which would affect the treatment of wastewater for the District
and Campbell University and cause engineering studies to be made and plans formul-
ated to- assure a continuation of wastewater treatment capacity for all parties
concerned so as not to inhibit the development needs of the citizens of the District
and Campbell University.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED AS FOLLOWS:
FIRST: That the Harnett County Board of Commissioners should adopt a policy
which will.be -an incentive to Campbell University to take appropriate measures to
discover and repair its-collection lines at the points of surface water infiltration
SECOND: That it would be unfair for the Harnett County Public Utility Department
to charge Campbell University for surface water infiltration until Campbell
University had sufficient time to complete studies and enter contracts for repair
to its lines at -the points of infiltration. -
THIRD'. That the Harnett County -Board of Commissioners needs to instruct the
County officials to confer with Campbell University officials and - mutually agree
for their respective engineers to study wastewater treatment facility requirements
and to make recommendations for courses of action which will assure Campbell
University and the citizens of the District of wastewater facilities with sufficient
capacity to meet their respective needs.

FOURTH: That the current policy of limiting the daily charge of wastewater flow to

study.
FIFTH: That this resolution be received by the HarnettCounty Board of Commissioners as
a recommendation for a course of action by the Harnett County Public Utility Department.
