Hide-A-Way Lake, Inc.

Low Pressure Sewer System - 2007

Prepared by Dungan Engineering, P.A.

Overview

Existing 1,561 lot subdivision, there are currently 926 lots with existing residents that discharge wastewater into individual septic tanks.

Plumbing stoppages and the potential for odorous seepage appearing at the ground surface are two of the primary problems.

Public Health Concerns

Plumbing stoppages result in wastewater contaminating homes and businesses.

Untreated water seeping into ground surfaces where children could be playing.

Concerns about contaminants entering the lake that is located in the middle of the development.

Project Plan

Construction of a low pressure sewer collection system

Replacement of septic tanks with grinder pumps

Construction of a pump station to pump wastewater to the treatment plant.

Project Area

Collection system will involve work throughout entire subdivision.

Collected wastewater will be pumped to a treatment facility located in Carriere

Treated wastewater will be discharged into the West Hobolochitto Creek tributary and not flow into Hide-A-Way Lake.

Project Summary

O & M will be covered in monthly sewer bill Collection lines will be placed along existing Road Right-

of-Way with minimal disturbance to the existing subdivision.

All road and paved driveway crossings will be bored. Grinder pumps or STEP systems will be installed at each

house Wastewater into the low pressure force main collection system. The existing septic tanks will be properly abandoned.

Authority will own and maintain system The Authority’s maintenance will begin at the house where the

wastewater enters the grinder pump or STEP system

Cost EstimatesDescription Alternate 1 Alternate 2 Alternate 3

Lots With Houses (Lines and Pump) 9,000.00$ 7,000.00$ 2,000.00$

Lots Only (Lines Only) 4,000.00$ 2,000.00$ 2,000.00$

Lots With Houses 750.00$ 600.00$ -----*

Lots Only 350.00$ 200.00$ -----*

Monthly Sewer Bill - Operation and Maintenance 25.00$ 45.00$ 30.00$

*Each owner has the option to connect to the sewage line when so desired. There will be a tap fee that will cost

approximately $5,000.00 to $6,000.00

Yearly Assessment - Initial Costs Financed for 20 Years at 5.50% Annual Interest

Estimated Monthly Sewer Bill

Initial Costs

Conclusions and Recommendations

Three Primary Problems: Plumbing stoppages at residences and businesses Large number of septic tanks on or near the lake Numerous lots can’t be developed because site

conditions are not suitable for septic tanks.

Recommendations for Problems: Installation of a low pressure sewer system. Installation of a force main and pumping station to

the regional treatment facility.
