HIGHWAY 24 WASTEWATER UTILITY CORRIDOR IMPROVEMENTS
BRIEF EXPLANATION OF PROJECT AND GOALS
The Highway 24 Wastewater Utility Corridor Improvements Project consists of the completion of design, permitting, and construction of a new 18" diameter sewer force main and associated pump stations to connect the Swansboro collection system to an existing ONWASA pump station located at the intersection of Piney Green Road and Highway 24. The total estimated length of the 16" and 18" diameter force main is approximately 36,000 linear feet with the addition of two new pump stations and the rehabilitation and expansion of two existing pump stations. The project will provide the additional wastewater treatment capacity necessary to address anticipated growth in the Northeast and Highway 24 Corridor area by sending flow to the Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune for treatment under an existing agreement with ONWASA. The Swansboro Wastewater Treatment Plant will be taken out of service and flow will be conveyed to a new Swansboro Pump Station and continue to the renovated and expanded pump station at the intersection of Piney Green Road and Highway 24.
WHO IS PERFORMING THE WORK?
The Wooten Company is the project's design engineer. T.A. Loving Company is performing the construction of the pump stations and JYMCO Construction Company, Inc. is performing the construction of the force main.
WHY IS ONWASA INSTALLING A FORCE MAIN AND PUMP STATION ALONG HIGHWAY 24?
ONWASA is constructing the force main and pump stations along Highway 24 to accommodate the current demand for capacity, as well as the anticipated growth in the Northeast Service Area.
WHERE IS THE PROJECT LOCATED?
The force main begins at the intersection of Piney Green Road and Highway 24 and along Highway 24 ending at Hubert Blvd where it interconnects with an existing 12" force main. The two new pump stations are located at the Hubert Water Treatment Facility and the Swansboro Wastewater Treatment Plant. The two pump station renovations are located at the Piney Green Pump Station and Halls Creek Pump Station.
HOW MUCH WILL THE PROJECT COST AND HOW WILL IT BE FUNDED?
Total construct costs are approximately $27.7M for both the force main and pump station contracts. ONWASA awarded contracts to companies, T.A. Loving Company and JYMCO on June 20, 2024. The Highway 24 Wastewater Utility Corridor Improvements Project is funded by the sale of bonds with approval from the Local Government Commission (LGC).
WHAT IS THE PROJECT TIMELINE?
The Wooten Company began final design in January 2021 on the force main and pump stations. Construction began on December 16, 2024, and is anticipated to be completed in the fall of 2026.
HOW DOES THIS HELP THE RESIDENTS IN THE ONWASA SERVICE AREA?
The project is increasing the capacity for the residents and future development of Onslow County in the Northeast Service Area of the ONWASA wastewater system.
