Cabarrus Economic Development’s Post

Unlocking the potential for economic growth in Scotland County has been an exciting journey for us at WK Dickson & Co., Inc., but we’ve faced a common challenge – securing funding for wastewater treatment enhancements. However, with the infusion of the ARPA funds, Scotland County and its partners have identified a path to begin implementing the longstanding vision to turn this WWTP into a regional facility.   #ARPAfunding #InvestInInfrastructure #RegionalTransformation

Thanks to decades of diligent work by a number of companies and some fantastic individuals doing great work "inside the machine" so to speak, we are finally starting to see traction with the idea that rural communities deserve public support too. The #decentralizedwastewater industry can't rest yet. More equal sharing of wastewater treatment infrastructure can go down to the individual homes and business level as well. Why shouldn't farmer Johnson's tax dollars help with the replacement of his septic system instead of replacing Gotham's 100 MGD plant?

🏕️ Council Future-Proofs Gogeldrie Riverside Park 🏕️ The Gogeldrie Weir campground has recently undergone significant improvements with remediation works undertaken in the transpiration bed to ensure that the site’s effluent system is being effectively managed. The upgrades were undertaken due to the previous system being unable to sustainably manage the current loading and ensured the required Section 68 approval for the ongoing operation of the site. Mayor Cr Tony Reneker highlighted the long-term benefits of the upgrade, stating, "The upgrades not only ensure that we meet current regulatory requirements but also position Gogeldrie Weir for future growth.” “By upgrading the wastewater management system, we’ve effectively futureproofed the site, allowing for potential enhancements such as the installation of cabins (should a future Council decide to pursue this), which will boost the area’s appeal for visitors and locals alike." ➡️ Full details here: https://lnkd.in/g3KymmTb #LeetonShireCouncil #CouncilNews #NewsUpdate

Great news for Yorkshire! The UK town of Ilkley is set to undergo a major water quality improvement project, with Yorkshire Water investing £60 million in upgrades to the wastewater treatment works and storm overflows The plan includes: ✅ increasing storage capacity ✅ building an aerated rush bed ✅ creating a new wetland for treating wastewater These enhancements aim to meet government targets for reducing discharges into the River Wharfe, nine years ahead of the 2035 deadline The project also involves installing leaky water butts in selected areas to reduce stormwater discharges If approved, the work is expected to be completed by 2026 and will significantly improve water quality in the area.

Did You Know? 💡 The Cloaca Maxima, one of the world’s oldest sewage systems, was built to drain the marshes of Rome. It was later expanded to control stormwater and manage wastewater from Roman baths and latrines (communal toilets 🤢). iWorQ provides cloud-based sewer management software for local municipalities.

In light of my previous post discussing GA's ASCE report card, I'd love to share that at least one of the needs mentioned: "areas beyond the coast face changing storm patterns that will need to be addressed in design standards" can be addressed with technology, such as OptiRTC's #CMAC ( Continuous Monitoring and Adaptive Controls). Please connect with my colleague, Matt Vajdic, at the Georgia Association of Water Professionals (GAWP) conference this upcoming week in Savannah and learn more about how OptiRTC can help you with your next #stormwater_management project.
