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. RESOLUTION ADOPTED ADJOURNMENT FOURTH: That the current policy of limiting the daily charge of wastewater flow to actual use each day but not to exceed 95,000 gallons for any one day, should be continued for a period of sixty (60) days from and after July 1, 1984, for the purpose of further study.
