Council moves to fix Eastover pump station

By Sarah Jane Rosser, Staff Writer

Thursday, October 9, 2008 After much discussion on the Eastover pump station in Norwood, town council finally decided to purchase its own equipment to save on money and hopefully have the moratorium lifted.

In early June, council announced that the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) placed a moratorium on the Eastover pump station that serves Eastover Street and some of Vincent Road and Wall Street. Since then, no one was able to send any more sewage through.

Over the years, problems developed at the station that caused excessive overflow.

Town Administrator Dwight Smith told council the project would cost between $25,000 and $30,000 versus the $1 million they estimated if they were to lease the equipment to have it fixed.

A 30,000 gallon gas tank is being sold to the town for approximately $6,500 from Oakboro Town Administrator Larry Branch. Smith said if all goes well, he is hoping the pump station will be fixed within two weeks.

The town applied for a North Carolina Rural Economic Development Grant but won’t know anything until December. However, Smith said if this plan works, they may not need the grant to complete the project.

Council agreed to proceed and not to exceed $30,000 for the Eastover pump station project.

In other news, council:

• Approved more than $1,400 in tax refunds for some citizens in Norwood who over paid their city taxes this year;

• Set a public comment session for Nov. 3 at 6:30 p.m. regarding the Norwood Comprehensive Transportation Plan;

• Will move forward with restoration on Cedar Creek through Darrell Almond Park; and

n Made a motion to contract with Lucas Home Concrete to do work on a sidewalk on West Whitley Street.
