Property Description
PIN(s): 9691-58-0057.000 Acreage: 7.70 acres
Address/SR No.: Lawrence Road (SR1272)
Water
Public water is available for this development (via Harnett County)
Comments:
Harnett County has an existing four (4") inch water distribution line located on the north side of
Lawrence Road (SR 1272) that can provide domestic (potable) drinking water only. This four (4") inch
water main cannot support fire flow for fire hydrants or fire protection for this proposed subdivision.
The Harnett County Fire Marshal must provide a written variance for this subdivision to be served by a
four
(4") inch water line without fire hydrants or the subdivision must be reduced to six (6) lots or less which
would be classified as a minor subdivision.
The nearest water line that could provide fire flow for fire hydrants is located on Holly Springs Church
Road (SR . The only other alternative would be to extend a new six (6") inch water line from the
existing
six (6") inch water line located on the north side of Holly Springs Church Road (SR 1273) along Hollies
Pines Road and Lawrence Road (SR 1272) to serve this proposed development. This will require that the
developer hire a Professional Engineer (P.E.) to design the proposed water line extension and the P.E.
must submit utility plans to HCDPU for review and subsequent approval of the proposed six (6") inch
water line extension in accordance with the established Approval Process for New Water Line Extensions
as
described on the Harnett County website www.harnett.org under the Public utilities page.
NOTE: HCDPU provides this information as a curteousy to the developer and professional engineer for
design purposes. However, HCDPU cannot be held liable for errors, mistakes, ommissions, and
inaccurate

recommended that the professional engineer or developer "field verify" the information provided by
HCDPU.
Sewer
Public sewer is not available for this development (via Harnett County)
Comments: HCDPU does not have an existing sewer collection system within close proximity of this
project
site and the residential lots in this proposed development must be provided with individual septic tanks
and associated drain fields that meet the established requirements of the Harnett County Environmental
Health Department.
NOTE: HCDPU provides this information as a curteousy to the developer, land surveyor and professional
engineer for design purposes. However, HCDPU cannot be held liable for errors, mistakes, ommissions,
and inaccurate information provided through this preliminary approval process. It is therefore
recommended that the engineer or developer "field verify" the information provided by HCDPU prior to

provisions to extend new water lines to new developments at the county's expense and HCDPU will not
provide assistance to upgrade, install or improve the new or existing water services in the proximity of
this
project unless the developer can provide HCDPU proper justification and demonstrate a benefit for
Harnett
County.
