Previously the Town of Elizabethtown announced and the citizens were made aware that a major sewer system upgrade and rehabilitation project in the “downtown” district will take place. It has come to our attention that some of our citizens are not familiar with the project and with the scope of work that will take place over the next several weeks.

This project is for the purpose of correcting several deficiencies to the Town’s sewer infrastructure. The project areas are as follows:

  1. Daisy Street – sewer line replacement.
  2. Subway/Food Lion – replace a crossing of a major sewer line under NC Highway 87.
  3. Owen Street, Slingsby Street, Pine Street and Martin Luther King Drive area – each street will get a new line installed. The old line that is located under existing buildings has failed and will be abandoned.
  4. Newton Street – sewer line rehabilitation and manhole replacement.
  5. Gilmon Street and Blanche Street -sewer line rehabilitation and replacement.
  6. Doctor’s Drive – sewer line replacement.
  7. South Poplar, Court Street, King Street and Cypress Street – new sewer lines installed in street and abandonment of an old sewer main under buildings.
  8. NC Highway 87 East – sewer line rehabilitation from Lower Street to Rollins Street and at Willis Street.
  9. Allen Street and Byrd Street – sewer line rehabilitation.
  10. Scout Lane – re-route sewer main.
  11. Woodhouse Street – replace one block of sewer main that has degraded and is in need of repair.

In some cases, the new sewer line will need to be relocated and will require property owners to employ a local plumber to connect to the new service.  We apologize for any inconvenience and will make every effort to accommodate those affected by the project.

If you live or have a business that is affected by the project and want to discuss the project details in your area, please contact Pat DeVane at the Town of Elizabethtown Public Services Department for more information at 862-2035.
