Final Report to City of Eden
October 20, 2009
• SOC Project –Linework and Pump Station (Phase 1 through 4)
Items to be Reviewed
SOC Linework - Phase 1 SOC Linework - Phase 1 • Consisted of Pierce Street Sewer Collector and portion of Meadow Greens
Western Outfall• Separated from larger portion of work to prevent conflict with NCDOT
widening and improvements of Pierce Street• Provided cost savings since open cuts to install sewer in Pierce Street were
overlaid by NCDOT • Completed – October 2005
SOC Linework Phase 2 SOC Linework Phase 2
• Consisted of 27,000 linear feet of sewer replacement (8 to 12 inches) –
See Handout 1 • Included numerous point repairs• Provided new and up to date flow monitoring equipment to the City
which have been critical in the assessing the performance of the repairs• Completed – December 2006
SOC Linework - Phase 3 SOC Linework - Phase 3 • Elevated manholes adjacent to tributaries that are subject to flooding and submergence• Replaced several small sections of deteriorated sewer including the replacement and relocation of the
upper section of sewer on Mebane Street (Phase 2 involved the “lower” section on Mebane Street)• Relocated and replaced the sewer crossing of Fairway 1 and Fairway 9 of the Meadow Greens Golf
Club (existing sewer was routed through a large storm drain)• Relocated a small portion of the Long Street outfall. • Replaced vented manhole lids with solid covers in multiple street locations that were exposed to medium
to heavy runoff.
• Completed January 2008
Project Objectives (Phase 1 – Phase 3)
Project Objectives (Phase 1 – Phase 3)• Reduced inflow and infiltration (I&I)
• Reduced sanitary sewer overflows (SSOs)• Secured sanitary sewer easements of approximately 125 affected parcels or properties. Prior to
construction, the City did not possess recorded easements. The description of such an easement is prescriptive in nature and is not ideal for long term operation and maintenance.
• Removed several sewer conflicts with improved and or habitable structures.• Bolstered water pressure and fire flow along Mebane Street with the 6-inch water main extension.
• Procured flow monitoring equipment that will be critical in identifying locations and extent of inflow and
infiltration in other subsystems

Where Are We and What’s Next
•SOC has been completed and has been terminated.
•Sanitary Sewer Evaluation Study (SSES) needs to be completed in Bridge Street and Junction subsystems to complete sanitary sewer improvements prioritization.
Where Are We and What’s Next
•Continued improvements to rehabilitate and renew your system in a prioritized and proactive manner are recommended to mitigate another SOC.
•Priorities include:-Dry Creek Outfall Phase 2
-Smith River Outfall Phase 2 and 3
-Kuder Street Subsystem Improvements - Phase 1 through 3
-Bridge Street and Junction Pump Station Upgrades
(Prioritized Improvements yet to be identified in Bridge Street and Junction)
