Lift Station Progress

Trinity's campus was designed to tie into the city of Raleigh's sewer system. The problem is that system is uphill from us, which requires a lift station to move our wastewater up to their system. When we sold part of our land to the Wyndcroft developers, they agreed to build this lift station for use by their homeowners, and to allow Trinity to tie into it.

Since Wyndcroft started their project significantly after us, they have not yet completed the lift station. This means that since Trinity opened, we have been depending on two large septic tanks and a service that pumps the tanks empty weekly and transports it by truck to the wastewater plant on the other side of the county (I wrote more about this here).

Well, the construction you've been hearing through the woods west of our campus is the work on this lift station. The station is nearly complete now, but is awaiting electrical service. We hope to see the system up and running later this spring.

This sewer system is also the reason we had heavy excavation equipment on the land a couple months ago. To open the school, we only need our sewer line to extend to the tanks we're using. Once school was opened and critical needs addressed, Mammoth got to work laying the rest of our line through the woods and down the hill to the lift station.
