DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC UTILITIES Twenty-Vear Plan 1999 - 2018 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The twenty-year plan attached herewith is a working tool developed by the Utility staff to give guidance toward the County's water and sewer infrastructure development and capital needs program. It consists of an assessment of the current water and wastewater systems and projects these needs over a twenty-year period. This plan is offered to the Board to seek their guidance and input as they look toward Harnett County's future. The following issues are addressed in this plan and will require the board's consideration over the designated planning period. Some of the information is offered as background only and will not require any immediate action. The staff is hopeful that the board will give direction as to which areas they feel are most important . . Water Treatment . Regulatory Impacts . Water Supply Protection and Conservation . Distribution and Collection Systems . Acquisition of Private Facilities . Regional Interconnects . Projected Capital Needs . Wastewater Treatment . Expansion of Existing Facilities Regional Wastewater Facilities . . . Financial Planning . Revenue Projections . Capital Outlay . Human Resources . Support Services . Policies . River Basin Stewardship . Administrative Space Requirement and Future Vision . . Federal Mandates These issues are more closely defined within the planning document and should the Board desire additional resource material on any of these issues, our staff will readily provide the same. The Department acknowledges that the attached report is too lengthy for the Board to timely review. Therefore, a second utility retreat in the early spring would be desirable to give both the board and staff the time to review and finalize their mutual concerns. The Public Utility staff would like to thank the Board for its support and vision. Additionally, the Department is grateful in being allowed an opportunity to participate in the Board's 1998 Retreat. ------------ ~- - - 470 . WATER SYSTEM Treatment Facility. The County's existing 3.33 mgd (million gallons per day) facility has just undergone a major expansion of 8.67 mgd, which brings the current facility to an approved filtration rate of 12 mgd. During the course of construction the Board approved additional modifications within the internal treatment train that would . potentially raise the 12 mgd facility to 18 mgd. . To complete the full 18 mgd facility upgrade additional peripheral equipment will be needed. The total costs of these facilities are approximately $1.15 million. . The towns of Fuquay-Varina and Holly Springs have indicated in writing their interest in securing an additional 1 mgd of capacity. Through the sale of this additional capacity at the actual cost, the County would secure an additional 4 mgd of capacity at no extra cost. . In order for the 18 mgd phase to reach completion, additional negotiations with Fuquay-Varina and Holly Springs will need to begin. . The State of N.C. Department of Environmental Health and Natural Resources has asked that we pilot the current plant for a minimum of 12 months prior to obtaining final approval of 18 mgd. This process has already begun and should end in the fall of 1999. Regulatory Impact. The newly expanded treatment facility is designed to meet the known requirements of the Safe Drinking Water Standards of the Environmental . Protection Agency. At present, the plant is designed for Phase I of the Disinfection Byproducts Rule and the proposed Enhance Surface Water Treatment Rule. These rules. will become effective in May 2000. The rule-making process for the Phase II rules have been modified to require risk base analysis prior to setting standards. The specific requirements for the Phase II rules are still in formulation, but will be more stringent than the Phase I. Phase II rules are expected to become effective in December 2003. As the new rules are finalized and proposed, we will have to make process changes, as a minimum, and may require some structural modifications. The plant flexibility has been designed into the facility to alJow some structural changes with minimum additional cost. Water Plant Residual Solids. The new treatment facility is designed to land apply liquid residual solids that are removed from the river water. We currently have a five- year contract with Amsco, Inc. to haul the liquid sludge and apply the sludge to land permitted by Amsco. As with the Safe Drinking Water Standards' management of residual solids, this process will come under more stringent federal and state regulations. Additionally, the economic market for disposing of solids is volatile and subject to change. Accordingly, it is our belief that the best technology to handle the solids generated by the water plant in the future will be with the addition of a press to . dry the sludge. Although the current economics and regulatory environment allows us to effectively dispose of liquid sludge. dry sludge will afford the plant much more flexibility with a sludge management program. Additionally, we can adapt to the most economical market available to the County. In this regard, we plan to evaluate the liquid sludge process in the year 2000. We will have had three years of operational experience with liquid disposal at that time and two years remaining on our current contract. New contract proposals will be taken at th13t time and if the economics or regulatory environment at that time dictate, the County will have time to modify the process to that which will be in our best interest. ~--------- -_.~ ~-~---------- - --------- 471 Water Supply Plan. The State of North Carolina requires that all water systems submit an approved water plan every five years. This plan is currently being updated by the Utility Department staff and will be submitted to the County Board of Commissioners for approval by winter of 1999. The purpose of this plan is to provide evidence to the State that the water system is providing adequate planning for the supply of water through a designated planning period. The most pressing issue underway with the water supply plan is the authorization from the State to withdraw up to 24 mgd from the Cape Fear . River. In addition to their approval, Harnett County will need to carefully assess the utilization of capacity from Jordan lake. Securing these authorizations now is vital to the economic viability of Harnett County. Water Conservation Measures. Harnett County currently has a Water Shortage & Conservation Ordinance that was adopted in 1994. This ordinance has served the County Ylell in times of emergency when our ability to treat and transport an adequate amount of water to meet demand has been tested. However, this ordinance needs to be amended to include more incentives for customers to conserve in non-emergency times as Ylell. Our water supply is a critical resource that must be protected against at all costs. An example of one conservation measure is to require all customers who use automatic sprinkler systems to install rain sensors to ensure against wasteful irrigation practices. Water Distribution System. Currently eight of the nine water districts are in operation and providing service. The last district, Riverside Water and Sewer District, was approved by the Board in 1996. In 1997, the citizens of the Riverside District approved a favorable bond referendum in the amount of $1,700,000. This project was funded . through the USDA's Water 2000 Initiative. The funding for this project consists of $940,000 in low interest loans and the remaining $686,000 in grant monies. This project should go to bid in the summer of 1999 and should be completed by the fall of 2000. Water System Acquisitions. There are two large water utility systems in the South Central Water and SeYler District that have expressed some interest in selling their systems. One of the most important factors in developing wastewater services in the Anderson Creek Area is to be the main provider of water. This in turn allows the , District to bill direct based on water consumption, provide full control of the entire service area, and secure the revenue stream for long-term capital debt. The two systems are Rolling Springs and Anderson Creek Water Company. They are owned by Wellons Realty of Spring lake and Buck Haire respectively. HCDPU is currently in negotiations with the Rolling Springs Water Company to acquire their water and wastewater facilities. Hopefully these negotiations will be completed before the end of 1999 and Harnett County will assume the role as the main water and wastewater purveyor in that area of the County. . Regional Interconnects. As you are aware, Harnett County's water system is interconnected to several area public water systems that we do not provide water to including: the City of Dunn, the Town of Erwin, Johnston County, the City of Raleigh, the Town of Apex, and finally the Town of Cary. These connections are of a vital importance in the event of emergency water shortage conditions. The ability to provide and receive additional water from these various sources makes all of these systems more dependent upon each other and truly interconnected in a regional manner. As our water system continues to grow, there will be additional interconnections with our various neighbors. These relationships will need to be continually nurtured to ensure an adequate water supply for everyone in our region in the future. ~- 472 . Projected Capital Needs. The Department will ask the Board to approve a request to complete a comprehensive hydraulic study of the entire distribution network. This will be a special stand-alone project and will be funded by all districts. This study will evaluate cost, timetables, scope of work, and funding to make additional upgrades in the transmission system. Additionally, it will ensure that the mapping database is made current - the estimated cost of this project Is $56,000. Future projects that will follow this study are listed below for the Board's review: . Northeast Regional Transmission, Phase I . . NorthYJest Regional Transmission, Phase I . South Central Regional Transmission . SouthYJest Regional Transmission, Phase III . Northeast East Regional Transmission, Phase II . Northeast East Regional Transmission, Phase III . Harnett-Wake Regional Transmission . High Service Discharge Loop . West Central Regional Transmission WASTEWATER TREATMENT Expansion of Existing Facilities. The County currently owns two wastewater treatment plants, Buies Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant and Carolina Lakes Wastewater Treatment Plant. Both facilities are currently under design. The Buies Creek facility is being expanded from.5 mgd to .980 mgd and the Carolina Lakes facility from .3 mgd to 1.0 mgd. The Carolina Lakes project is estimated to begin . construction in late summer of 1999. It should be noted that the Buies Creek/Coats WWfP project is on hold until all attempts to regionalize these systems are exhausted. Recent negotiations with the Town of Lillingtol1, the Town of Coats, and the Buies- Creek/Coats Water and Sewer District Advisory Board seem promising in light of the $800 million bond referendum that passed this past November. Finally, there may be a way to consolidate these systems without placing such a tremendous financial burden on the ratepayers. Regional Wastewater Facilities. Harnett County has commissioned four different engineers since 1968 to look at comprehensive approaches to the long-range planning of Harnett County's water and wastewater needs. All have agreed that a regional approach utilizing a consolidation of systems is the best plan practical for protection of public health and economic development. There will continue to be County development of services which will extend from existing facilities; and, due to the escalating cost of expansion and operating expenses, it is likely that other regions within the County, such as the South Central section, will be attempting to regionalize systems within the next ten years. In addition to this, regulatory restraints will force regionalization to happen in order to eliminate as many discharges into our water basin . as possible. Wastewater Collection Systems. The Titan Manufacturing expansion has caused the County to proceed with the extension of the South Central Wastewater facilities in Bunnlevel to the Titan site along the US401 corridor north of Titan. Western Harnett Middle and High School Complex. The Board of Education has asked the County to provide wastewater collection facilities for the entire complex. Due to poor soil conditions on the existing site, on-site wastewater disposal is not a viable option. This project is estimated to cost approximately $625,000. There is, however, opportunities to receive capacity fees to help offset some of the cost. 4 7~i Area One Middle School. The Board of Education has also asked the County to provide wastewater facilities for this new middle school that will be located on Ray Road in the Anderson Creek area in the South Central section of the County. If the current negotiations with Rolling Springs are successful; a gravity or forcemain extension will need to be made in order to accomplish this. Current cost estimates for this project are not yet available. FINANCIAL PLANNING . Revenue Projections. Revenue projections for the next 20 years are difficult if not impossible to correctly predict. They are tied to a myriad of factors including residential and commercial growth in the County, local and regional economic conditions, and the ability of our Department to meet all future water and sewer needs throughout the County. Before we can attempt to predict future revenues, we need to look at current revenue trends for the last three fiscal years. HCDPU ODenltlna Revenues Financial Operating Period Revenues FY 94-95 $4,409,057 FY 95-96 $5,487,546 FY 96-97 $7,560,566 You can see from these figures that revenues have increased by $3,151.509 in just two years. This represents a 71 % increase in that two-year time span. Capacity use fees accounted for $699,332 of the $3,151,509 increase in revenues. $618,372 of those fees were collected last year in FY 1996-97. The prediction of capacity use fee revenue is even more difficult to predict than other forms of revenue. This is because . these fees are directly tied to residential growth in the County. Even when capacity use fee revenue is factored out, the two year increase still amounts to a substantial $2,452,177 or 56% growth. Mike Walden, chief economist at North Carolina State University, has predicted that residential growth in Harnett County will continue at a torrid pace as more and more people relocate in areas of the County convenient to Raleigh and Fort Bragg. It would be a mistake to assume that growth in capacity use fee revenue could match last year's pace. As of the first 4 months of this fiscal year (through 10/31/97) approximately $150,000 of capacity use fees have been received. This is a reduction from last year's pace and probably is partly because of the change in the ordinance adopted by the Board which delays orie-half of these fees for six months. Total revenues as of 10/31/97 equal $2,652,554, which translates into approximately $8,000,000 for this fiscal year. Revenue growth should continue at a moderate pace over the foreseeable future as most areas of the County have access to public water. The overall financial strategy of the Department is to continue to maximize revenues consistent with continued residential and commercial growth within the County. Expenditures will be kept in line consistent with adequately maintaining treatment and distribution systems while emphasizing regulatory compliance in all areas. HCDPU is . at a historical crossroads in the sense that 95% of all County residents have access to water with only the Riverside area left to complete. Additional access to water has been the primary source of a growing revenue base in the past. However, since most areas have access now, future revenue growth will be directly correlated to population growth and industrial development within the County. Capital Outlay. Capital outlay is a vital portion of positioning our department for the future. Our customer base has grO'M'l steadily over the past five years and that should continue. HCDPU has to have the proper capital equipment to operate and maintain our vast water distribution and sewer collection systems. A review of capital outlay purchases in the past three years gives us some perspective on these expenditures. 474 Financial Period CaDi tal Outlav % Df Revenue . FY 94-95 $220,913 5% FY 95-96 $372,275 7% FY 96-97 $244,303 3% These figures show that capital outlay expenditures have significantly decreased as a percentage of total revenues collected in the last year. $251,903 is budgeted for this fiscal year which amounts to approximately 3% of expected revenues. Hurricane Fran demonstrated the need for essential emergency items such as generators. These items are very expensive and were not budgeted for in this fiscal year because capital outlay was again being held to such a low percentage of total department expenditures. Capital outlay must continue to rise as revenues increase for the department to . adequately operate and maintain its existing and future facilities. Human Resources. HCDPU operates a 12 MGD water treatment facility, two wastewater treatment plants, 48 pumping stations, 16 elevated storage tanks, 1500 miles of water distribution lines, and 150 miles of sewer collection lines with only 49 full-time permanent positions and 5 temporary positions. The department has added employees as we grew in size and responsibility. As we continue to add customers and facilities, advances in technology should allow us to maintain our present staff size without any major increases. There are a couple of areas where additional staff need to be added. One area that needs specific attention is Backflow and Cross- connections. As a water purveyor, HCDPU is responsible for insuring that our public water supply is not contaminated by backflow and cross-connections. The Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources has recently placed stringent new requirements on wastewater providers. These requirements are forcing utilities to provide more detailed maintenance data on pump and sewer lift stations. For this reason, an additional wastewater technician needs to be added to help prevent mechanical pump breakdowns. These breakdowns lead to sewer overflows and jeopardize compliance in these areas. Over the next planning period a proportionate . number of employees will be added to maintenance to stay abreast of the system needs. Support Services. HCDPU currently receives support from three separate departments within the County. These are Finance, MIS, and the County Garage. The relationship with each of these supporting departments is essential to our daily operations. There is daily communication with the Finance department on a variety of issues including purchasing, budgeting, accounts payable, etc. MIS provides invaluable support when we have computer problem~. These problems can be hardware or software related and can potentially shut down the operational functioning of the department. The County garage provides maintenance support for our fleet of vehicles. HCDPU is dependent upon these departments for their support in all of these areas. POLICIES The Department is currently drafting rules and policies for the Board's consideration. These policies and rules will address wastewater extensions into the county water and sewer districts from existing municipal treatment facilities. Wastewater Line Extensions. Harnett County has developed nine water and sewer . districts; four of these districts have wastewater collection systems with treatment and two have only collection systems and discharge their waste into municipal treatment facilities. Coordinated efforts need to begin between the city and County with respect to boundary limits. service areas. and annexation policy. There have been a lot of citizens concerned over municipalities continuing wastewater lines beyond their extraterritorial jurisdiction. In most instances municipal policy requires connection to sewer lines with some type of annexation agreement or commitment. Because all five municipalities are located in the northeast quadrant of Harnett County, there is a serious need to develop para-municipal planning areas and the balance of the region be County controlled. This would lend itself to future disputes and take over conflicts ~----------------- 475 regarding existing and new infrastructure. For example, the town of Erwin annexed an area north of town where the County had constructed water utility. To prevent conflict the County and the Town entered into an agreement where the County retained the water utility. The Town constructed the sewer lines and provided the wastewater service. Since service fees are based on water consumption, the County billed and collected wastewater fees for the Town. Each month the District pays the Town in one payment the collection. for sewer services. This same policy was implemented with the To'M1 of Coats five years later when the Buies Creek/Coats Water and Sewer District constructed wastewater lines within the . To'M1 of Coats. With emphasis on industrial and commercial development beyond corporate limits and sometimes beyond the municipals' one-mile boundary, a policy needs to be addressed between municipals and developing water and sewer districts. This type of policy can promote growth with proper planning, clarify jurisdictional boundaries, and protect the autonomy of both the municipality and the District. RIVER BASIN STEWARDSHIP Harnett County is an active member of the Cape Fear River Assembly. This Body has organized to protect water quality and monitor the activity within the Basin, which could have a negative impact on our current and future drinking water supply. The Basin has now been organized into three sections, the Lower, the Middle, and the Upper Basin. Harnett County belongs to the Middle Basin. The Assembly is taking a proactive approach to the long-range interest of the basin through the establishment of a comprehensive monitoring program. The Assembly just received a major grant from the State of North Carolina to study the entire basin. In addition to this, each of the three subsections are now forming monitoring coalitions. . Each water system will be asked to participate financially in this program as well as to contract out specific monitoring tests which will provide each system, the Assembly, and the State with vital data for activity impact and assessment. This information will play an important role in our ability to withdraw and discharge into the basin. ADMINISTRATIVE SPACE REQUIREMENTS AND FUTURE VISION When the Board of Commissioners developed the complex master plan, Public Utilities participated. As the Department looked to the future, it was important to identify ways in which the public could be better served. With that in mind, Environmental Health, Planning and Inspections, and Public Utilities were strategically located together to fulfill that commitment. Because the master plan would take several years to develop and the water plant had to be expanded immediately, a temporary administrative facility was constructed in 1995. This facility was constructed with the idea that maintenance and water treatment and data management supervisory positions would move to this facility. It currently appears that the County may be as much as five to ten years before additional administrative offices are relocated. Public Utilities' administrative functions do not need to be relocated until the aforementioned is complete. . Because of delays with the courthouse relocation and area site development, the Utility Department will need to add some additional space to its existing structure. Those specific space needs are meeting and training room, mapping and vital records and clerical space. This would take our Department to year 2008. To improve customer service and save cost, the board should consider centralizing payments made to the County through consolidation. The finance Department provides a very strong support service to Public Utilities and other departments. At such time as the administrative function of the County is moved to the complex would be the appropriate time to address this issue. There are currently five or more departments. 'Mlich independently collect revenues. It would be much more efficient if this was consolidated through the Finance Department so, as only one control payment system would be needed. Each department then would eliminate redundant functions, 014- - --------- -476 streamline audit requirements, provide for a more efficient system, and reduce future personnel requirements. Federal Mandates Risk Management Assessment. The United States Environmental Protection Agency . has mandated that all owners/operators of stationary sources of hazardous chemicals to develop and implement a risk management program that ensures the chemicals will be handled safely and minimizes the possibility and consequences of accidental release. This program must be finalized and submitted to the EPA by June 21, 1999. The only threshold quantity of a hazardous chemical that we currently possess is chlorine. HCDPU is currently converting our main disinfection process from chlorine gas to liquid sodium hypochlorite (bleach). This project should be completed by the June deadline and should eliminate the need for HCDPU to submit a risk management plan. This conversion will also make our treatment process much safer in the years to come. Environmental Education. By October 19, 1999 all drinking water systems must provide their customers with their first yearly Consumer Confidence Report (CCR) that outlines the water quality delivered to customers. Required by the 1996 Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) Amendments, these reports give customers information about their water quality. Following this initial report, the report will need to be delivered to all customers by July 111 of each year. Most customers want to be better informed about . the quality and safety of their tap water. By providing them with this information we have an important opportunity to increase public confidence in the quality and safety of their drinking water.

These are delineated in accordance with the points tab sheet as follows: A Planning & Water Conservation. \. This letter serves a written certification of Harnett County's continuing inflow and infiltration program in its wastewater sewer maintenance program. Supporting documentation is included that supports this certification. . 2. Enclosed is a copy of the Harnett County Water Conservation Ordinance, with continuing program on conservation and education information. Supporting conservation education materials are presented from the Harnett County website. 3. Water Conservation incentives (see Water Conservation Ordinance Attached) 4. Enclosed is a copy of minutes excerpted from relevant Board meetings and a cover sheet of the Harnett County Land Use Plan. Harnett Count's initial Land-Use Plan was prepared by the N.C Division Assistance and 2000 was established as the target year. The Board of Commissioners on February 20, 1978 officially adopted this plan. The Harnett County Planning Department prepared an update to the original plan which was adopted by the Board of Commissioners on January 5,1987. Beginning in February 1998 the Planning Board began a series of public input meetings throughout the County as they began the revision of the 1987 plan. The N.C. Division of Community Assistance and the Harnett County Planning Department staff provided technical assistance. In October 1998 the Planning Board competed its work on the latest revision of the County's Land-Use Plan. This plan now awaits a final review and adoption by the Board. 5. Harnett County, through its zoning ordinance, has a Conservation District whose purpose is to prevent certain types of land uses within environmentally sensitive areas. For the Cape Fear River, this district affects 500 feet from the bank at waters edge at normal flow. Parker's Creek, Avent's Creek, and Hector's Creek have been given . a high quality water designation by the State. All three creeks flow into the Cape Fear. In 1995, the County created a strategic plan entitled "A Vision for the Future". The task force on infrastructure identified their number one issue as being the provision of sewer service to the identified growth areas within Harnett County's jurisdiction. 6. The following ordinances have been adopted as part of the County's comprehensive land use planning efforts: zoning for the area north of the Cape Fear River since July 1988; subdivision regulations for all of the County's jurisdiction since April 1977; manufactured home park ordinance for all of the County's jurisdiction since January 1986; water supply watershed ordinance for all of the County's jurisdiction since January 1994 and flood damage prevention for all the County's jurisdiction since February 1990. 7. Enclosed is an approved copy of Harnett County's 20-year capital improvement plan. ~T~ .. -l~-- -48B ~ 8. Harnett County certifies that the proposed regional wastewater project is consistent with the water supply watershed protection requirements of GS 143-21415. 9. Article 200, Section 204 of the Harnett County Water Supply Watershed Management and Protection Ordinance specifies a minimum thirty feet vegetative buffer for development activities along all perennial waters. Harnett County zoning regulations exceed this requirement by a significant amount, as the Conservation District requires a five hundred-foot buffer for the Cape Fear River. Enclosed is the Local Government Water Supply Watershed ProtectionlWellhead Protection Ordinance Evaluation Form. 10. Harnett County certifies that it has a county wide regional water treatment facility. Harnett County currently has 25,000 residential . connections, with 1500 miles of water lines throughout Harnett County. Since the creation of the Harnett County water system in 1977, Harnett County has consistently purchased well supply systems, and converted to a central service water supply system, as developed in Harnett County in Lillington. Harnett County has adopted subdivision and mobile home park requirements, which mandate that develor_....:JS connect to Harnett County Regional Water Facility. Groundwater quality degradation is minimized through the efforts ofa c."...Jized water system, through the elimination of additional wells bored in the earth's crust. In those areas where there may not be an existing water line, Harnett County has implemented a waterline extension policy, which allows citizens to apply for access to public water.
