The Town of Burnsville is proposing a critical infrastructure improvement project to modernize and enhance the sewer system serving the Hickory Lane and West Glendale Avenue area. This neighborhood is currently served by undersized 4-inch and 6-inch gravity-fed sewer lines, which have proven inadequate to handle existing flow volumes and have contributed to system inefficiencies and maintenance challenges. 2. To address these issues and ensure compliance with the North Carolina Department of Environmental Qualitys (NC DEQ) minimum design criteria for public sewer conveyance and collection systems, the Town is proposing to replace the existing lines with new 8 inch sewer lines. This upgrade will not only improve hydraulic capacity and system reliability but will also accommodate future growth in the service area. In addition to increasing the line size, the project will utilize ductile iron pipe (DIP), a durable and resilient material designed to withstand shifting soils, heavy loading, and future flooding events. Collectively, these improvements will enhance the long-term functionality and resiliency of Burnsvilles wastewater infrastructure against future major flood events. Engineering services for the Project shall include, but are not limited to, standard tasks necessary for the implementation and administration of the project in conformance with DEQ, federal, and state requirements.

The Town of Burnsville is proposing a comprehensive water system improvement project designed to enhance resiliency and long-term operational efficiency of its water supply, storage, and distribution systems. The first component involves relocating the Towns main water distribution line along US 19E to the shoulder of the highway. This relocation will substantially increase the resilience of the distribution network by reducing maintenance demands and virtually eliminating the risk of damage caused by vehicular traffic traveling over the existing lines. The new alignment will also place the water lines at a shallower, more accessible depth, enabling faster response times for both routine maintenance and emergency repairs. The second component of the project includes the development of two new water supply wells, which will serve as a redundant water source to supplement the Towns existing surface water supply. This addition strengthens the Towns capacity to maintain uninterrupted service during drought conditions, treatment plant maintenance, or other emergency scenarios affecting the primary source, such as happened during Hurricane Helene. The third component involves constructing a 300,000-gallon ground-level storage tank within the eastern portion of the system. This new reservoir will expand overall storage capacity, provide operational flexibility for balancing system demand, and serve as a backup facility should the primary storage or treatment infrastructure become compromised. Collectively, these improvements will create a more resilient and redundant water system, ensuring the continued delivery of safe and reliable water service to the residents and businesses of the Town of Burnsville under both normal and emergency conditions. Engineering services for the Project shall include, but are not limited to, standard tasks necessary for the implementation and administration of the project in conformance with DEQ, federal, and state requirements.
