From the EPA STAG Water & Wastewater Infrastructure Project Account, which will go to Richmond County, North Carolina. The Richmond County Water Treatment Plant is currently capable of treating 6.75 million gallons a day (mgd) of potable water. The county is treating daily over six million gallons per day during high demand periods and need to expand the plant to 10.75 mgd to meet future demand. This will be a benefit to the citizens of Richmond County and allow the county to expand its distribution system to areas which use private wells. The engineering plans for this project have been completed. Funding for this project will assist local, state, and federal governments to help improve sanitation infrastructure and improve public health.
