What is the current proposed general route of the effluent pipeline?
The current preferred route will begin on the Western Wake Water Reclamation Facility site in New Hill and cross Shearon Harris Road. The preferred route keeps the pipeline on the south side of the railroad tracks along the Old US 1 corridor. Just before the intersection with US 1 and Old US 1, the pipeline will turn south and cross underneath US 1. The preferred pipeline route follows along a cross country route in parallel with existing gas and power lines until it intersects with Christian Chapel Church Road. The preferred pipeline route then parallels Christian Chapel Church Road until the intersection with Hwy 42. There are a couple of options under consideration along Christian Chapel Church Road that would further minimize the impacts to residential property fronting the road. The preferred pipeline route crosses under Hwy 42 and follows the existing power line until reaching the discharge point on the Cape Fear River. See attached map.
