Description of collection and treatment systems:
Charlotte-Mecklenburg Utilities collects wastewater from an estimated 223,855 connections to
households and businesses throughout the county. Wastewater is collected and directed (via
gravity flow supported by sewage lift stations) to one of five wastewater treatment plants where it
is treated. An average of 81 million gallons of wastewater is treated and discharged each day.
More than 150 employees work to maintain 4,028 miles of collection pipelines and 75 sewage lift
stations throughout the county. The gravity sewer pipes in this system range in size from 8 inches
in diameter to 78 inches in diameter.
Each of the wastewater treatment plants provides primary, secondary and advanced treatment to
the waste stream. Large solid particles and inorganic materials are removed by screening and
settling. The wastewater is treated biologically to remove dissolved pollutants. Disinfection
reduces bacterial and pathogenic materials. Finally, the waste stream passes through sand filters to
remove very small particles that may not have been removed through the settling process.
2
1. Primary Treatment
Solid particles & objects are captured in grit screens and primary clarifiers.
2. Aeration/Secondary Treatment
Wastewater is aerated to support growth of microorganisms that remove harmful pollutants.
3. Clarification
Solids and microorganisms settle out in large basins.
4. Advanced Treatment
Wastewater flows through sand filters to remove fine particles.
5. Disinfection
Water is disinfected to remove any remaining pathogens, and then the water is released back
into creeks to flow downstream.
II. Summary of System Performance
How did we do?
We are meeting all reporting deadlines and requirements of the federal EPA
Administrative Order to reduce spills, and the EPA approved two of our key reports
regarding our Sewer Capacity Assurance and Fats, Oils and Grease prevention programs.
We successfully collected and treated more than 29.69 billion gallons of our
community’s wastewater (99.9987 percent success rate).
There were 358 overflows in our community during the 2009 fiscal year. This is a
decrease of 4 spills compared to the year before (362). Stated another way, it is less than
nine spills per 100 miles of pipe in the ground overflowed from the collection system this
year as illustrated by the table on page 4.
3
The volume of wastewater that overflowed decreased from 505,568 gallons in fiscal year
2008 to 383,859 gallons in fiscal year 2009. The volume of wastewater that reached
surface waters also decreased from 378,973 gallons in fiscal year 2008 to 303,287 gallons
in fiscal year 2009.
Utilities works 24 hours a day, 365 days per year to prevent and respond to overflows.
Crews prevent overflows by clearing pipes of tree roots and grease, as well as replacing
broken and aging pipes. Utilities has also increased its efforts to educate customers about
properly disposing of oils and grease.
Highlights
Charlotte-Mecklenburg Utilities celebrated some important milestones even as it took
numerous actions to prevent overflows and protect water quality through effective
wastewater treatment.
• Our wastewater treatment plants met 99.93 percent of all permitted discharge limits.
• Our commitment to protecting the environment goes far beyond water quality. In
May 2009, the utility’s Environmental Services Facility on Westmont Drive was
officially dedicated, representing Charlotte City government’s first LEED GoldCertified building. This facility serves as home base for water quality laboratory and
Environmental Management staff, and is built and equipped with conservationminded and certified sustainable materials.
• All five plants earned Peak Performance Awards from the National Association of
Clean Water Agencies (NACWA) for the calendar year ending 2008. McDowell
Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant won a Platinum Award for maintaining 100

percent perfect compliance with their permit requirements for five years. Mallard and
McAlpine Creek Wastewater Treatment Plants earned Gold Awards for 100 percent
perfect compliance. Sugar and Irwin Creek Wastewater Treatment Plants earned
NACWA Silver Awards for outstanding compliance.
10 miles of sewer pipe and 348 manholes were rehabilitated or replaced.
180 miles of sewer pipe were treated with root control chemicals.
646 miles of sewer lines were cleaned (including some multiple cleanings in the same
location) by Field Operations and 8.4 miles of large diameter pipe were cleaned by
contractors.
379 sewer service pipes were replaced.
296 cleanouts installed for customers that did not have them or had defective
cleanouts.
369.7 miles of rights of way were cleared by Field Operations and contractors.
Utilities increased the funding for cleaning equipment and purchased nine (9) new
jet/cleaning trucks. Seven trucks replaced aging equipment so our fleet is now 13.
Utilities is proceeding with the implementation planning for a Work and Asset
Management (WAM) Program that includes deployment of a software solution as
well as improved infrastructure management processes. Solution selection was
completed in 2009 and the implementation approach has been approved by the
executive sponsors. Pending approval of the solution and implementation contracts
by City Council, implementation of the program (software and processes) is to begin
in late 2009. Utilities Field Operations Division is the top WAM implementation
priority.
Utilities has contracted for a physical survey of the entire wastewater collection
system, including inspection of manholes and any exposed piping. This multi-year
project is estimated to cost more than $5,000,000. The project is collecting data that
will be used as part of the foundation of a new geographic information system (GIS)
and for hydraulic modeling that is needed for planning and implementation of the
capacity assurance program discussed earlier. The data being collected includes
manhole locations, flowline elevations, pipe sizes, construction materials, and other
information. This survey is approximately 85% complete.
Utilities continued contracting for biological grease treatment in several selected
areas of the collection system. Video inspections are scheduled for FY10 to continue
measuring the effectiveness of the process. Since treatment began in March 2007,
only two grease related SSOs have been reported along 42,000 ft. of treated lines and
the regular removal of grease from a downstream pump station wet well has been
eliminated. Utilities recently renewed the biological grease treatment contract.
Utilities continues to expand their continuous improvement and optimization efforts
by meeting and extending the ISO 14001:2004 certification for a third year. This
international certification focuses on minimizing negative impacts on the
environment. This collaborative effort among many employees throughout Utilities is
being led by Environmental Management System Protection. The Mallard Creek
Water Reclamation Facility passed ISO 14001:2004 recertification for a third year in
May 2009 and the Biosolids program achieved initial certification in June 2009.
Mallard Creek WRF was the first City of Charlotte government facility to earn this
prestigious certification and serves as a model as we seek future certifications.
Utilities is collaborating with UNC-Charlotte, Centralina Council of Governments,
and CPCC to assess the feasibility of using problematic fats, oil and grease (FOG) as
biodiesel feedstock. This feasibility study of alternative fuel has been awarded grant

funds from the Biofuels Center of NC and is seeking additional funds from the NC
Green Fund. The study will investigate the alternative fuel product to determine if it
will save fuel, avoid disposal costs, and reduce pollution for local governments. The
economic analysis will consider conventional costs and total life cycle impact
assessment.
Utilities reclaimed water program continues to operate. Reclaimed water is highly
treated wastewater effluent that is land applied, rather than being discharged into the
creek. The Traditions Golf Course is using up to 500,000 gallons a day during spring
and summer time. Mallard Creek Park is using up to 500,000 gallons each month.
Additional customers may be added in fiscal year 2010.
There were 75 Wastewater Lift Stations serving our low-lying areas. Staff performed
107 preventative maintenance tasks for a total of 1745 work hours. This does not
include twice weekly station checks, wet well cleaning, emergency generator testing,
or emergency/routine repairs.
The Northeast Davidson Lift Station was replaced with a new submersible lift station
and the pumps at Kingstree Lift Station were replaced.
Phase one of the Briar Creek Relief Sewer project is more than 80% complete.
Phase one of the McAlpine Creek Relief Sewer project is more than 90% complete.
Construction on phase two will begin in FY 2010.
Sugar Creek Pump Station project is in service.
Last year’s frequency of sewer spills was below the 5-year average in seven of the twelve
months.

City staff inspected grease-handling facilities at 4,642 food service
establishments and restaurants (not including follow-up inspections) to ensure
proper grease disposal. The City continued its Grease Free education program
to teach proper disposal of a pipe-blocking menace. Inspectors mailed
information to more than 4,595 customers and handed out information to
9,108 customers in apartments / multi-family complexes. Staff conducted
more than 120 presentations to more than 5,000 children and adults. Some of
the key presentations were to eight apartment property managers and
plumbers.
Bill inserts, television news reports, giveaway grease cans / lids, and participating in
the Latin American Festival were all parts of this year’s educational program. Grease
Free television commercials ran for six weeks, advertisements were on Spanish radio
stations for two months, and a print advertisement was in Charlotte Parent Magazine.
Utilities also worked with the Health Department to distribute bilingual door hangers

to the Health Department’s five waiting rooms. Grease Free advertisements were
permanently placed on nine new sewer cleaning trucks.
Utilities added two Closed-Circuit TV (CCTV) inspection vehicles and upgraded its
TV inspection software. These additional CCTV inspection crews provide quality
control and quality assurance for collection system cleaning programs and proactively
locate pipe deficiencies. To assure deficiencies found are repaired within
performance goal parameters, Utilities is supplementing its Field Operations forces
with a point repair / rehab contract.
One major success was responding to up-to 11-inches of rain between August 25 and
August 27, 2008. The underground sanitary sewer pipe network is not designed to
handle storm water, yet the runoff and flooding from torrential rains inevitably
infiltrated the pipe network here and around the region. Although Utilities had some
spills, no fish kills or other environmental impacts were reported. All five wastewater
treatment plants have flow equalization basins that are able to capture and later treat
several million gallons of rainwater infiltration. Recently, the Long Creek Lift
Station added flow equalization basins and a retention pond. Both came in use during
this rain event. The lift station collected six million gallons in the flow equalization
basins and 500,000 gallons in the retention pond. Without these back-up systems, the
treatment plants and pipe network would have spilled a significantly larger amount.
Continuing Challenges
Wastewater Collection Challenges
The greatest continuing wastewater challenge in this community – and in others across the U.S. – is
sewage overflows. Of the 358 sewer spills that occurred, more than half were due to hardened grease
clogging pipes and backing up the system. Other spill causes included the infiltration of tree roots
into pipes, vandalism, general debris, and broken pipes.
Fiscal Year 2009 Overflows by Primary Cause
8
Grease and other blockages that lead to sewer overflows are cleared by Utilities crews, using
various cleaning methods, including mechanical rodders and truck-mounted water jets. If damaged
pipe or other infrastructure is discovered it is repaired. The spilled sewage can sometimes be
captured and pumped back into the sewer system.
Inspection crews and our customers find overflows. Reports of overflows where 1,000 or more
gallons reach surface waters are distributed to the media in an effort to notify the public. A legal
notice is posted when overflows of 15,000 gallons or more reach surface waters. Crews also use
door hangers to notify customers when appropriate.
Charlotte-Mecklenburg Utilities continues its excellent sewage spill response record. Our
wastewater collection staff response time averaged 36 minutes to all overflows as of June 30,
2009. Staff responded to over 65 percent of the spills in fewer than 60 minutes. This compares to a
state response standard of 120 minutes or less.
Utilities continued to evaluate and refine sewer cleaning operation. A significant change
of strategy was tested relative to how cleaning resources are assigned. Utilities initiated a
Consolidated Cleaning Project in January 2009. Under the direction of the Field
Operations Senior Engineer, and using our SSO data base and GIS, sub-basins with high
concentrations of system failures and SSOs are being identified. Resources from each of
the Field Operation Zones are pooled or consolidated in these problematic sub-basins and
deliberate and focused cleaning, inspection, and repair efforts are directed from the top to
the bottom of the sub-basins.
Since January 18, 2009, eleven sub-basins have been completed. Within these basins,
approximately 300,000 linear feet, or 57 miles have been cleaned using hydraulic /
vacuum combination machines, rodders, and off-street hydraulic equipment, and each
line segment was then inspected using CCTV. Main line deficiencies that are identified
are immediately repaired.
Data is being collected during this project to evaluate this approach, adjust from lessons
learned, and to redeploy the process over the four geographic zones of our collection
system in the future. Although it is too soon to measure success, Utilities remains
optimistic that this approach will deliver continuous improvements in SSO reduction and
MOM program efficiencies.
The five-year moving average now stands at 370 collection system spills per year (from fiscal year
2005 to present- fiscal year 2009).
9
Number of Spills Compared to 5-Year Average
Utilities tracks, trends, and analyzes the effectiveness of its efforts in reducing SSOs. On a
monthly basis Utilities studies SSOs trends, including: a comparison of the current month’s SSO
total and SSOs experienced the same month during the previous year, SSOs per 100 miles of pipe,
SSOs versus the five year average number of SSOs, and SSO volume.
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrative Order Update
Charlotte-Mecklenburg Utilities performed a voluntary sewer system audit in 1999-2000 at the
EPA’s request. During 2003, frequent heavy rains contributed to Charlotte’s worst year of
wastewater overflows. At that point the EPA and Utilities met several times to review the audit and
actions taken since 2000. Utilities also worked with North Carolina Department of Environment
and Natural Resources (NCDENR) to receive a state collection system permit.
In March 2007, the U.S. EPA issued a formal Administrative Order for Charlotte-Mecklenburg
Utilities. This Administrative Order is a regulatory enforcement action that includes a series of
steps Utilities must take to reduce overflows in our community. These steps included paying a fine
for past spills and assuring that certain construction projects would be completed on time. The
administrative order will help guide our ongoing efforts to address a community problem we’ve
been working on for many years. Utilities will continue to update the EPA on its progress.
Charlotte is the first major city in the Carolinas to face EPA enforcement as it relates to overflows.
Quite a few other communities in the southeast, including Atlanta, Mobile and Knoxville have
already received a much more severe EPA enforcement action known as a judicial Consent
Decree.
Preventing sewer spills has been a high priority in Charlotte-Mecklenburg for more than a decade.
The administrative order will help further guide our ongoing efforts to address a community
problem. We have increased preventative line maintenance, capital improvements and other
programs.
10
The EPA’s and our goal for overflows is zero. Reality is that a system our size will always have
some overflows, but we agree even one spill is too many. Zero spills continue to be our standard
and goal in Charlotte-Mecklenburg.
Wastewater Treatment Plant Challenges
Charlotte-Mecklenburg Utilities five wastewater treatment plants met 99.93 percent of all
discharge limit tests set forth by our NPDES permits but our commitment is 100 percent
compliance. Staff continues to improve maintenance capabilities and overall performance. Major
rehabilitation and improvement projects help maintain compliance. Future upgrades and
expansions are being added.
During this fiscal year there were 5 permit limit violations out of a potential of 7,335
compliance tests.
Charlotte-Mecklenburg had four bypasses at wastewater treatment facilities. Bypasses
occur when mostly treated wastewater leaves the plant without the final stage of
treatment, Ultra-Violet Disinfection. These can be caused by an electrical, mechanical,
computer, or operator error. In each case, operators on-site quickly responded to the
bypass and took appropriate cleanup/repair action. No dead fish were found associated
with these bypasses.
Utilities operates a system protection program to help maintain our infrastructure. This
Pretreatment program has identified, permitted, and regulated large industrial users and
others to keep unsuitable discharges out of the wastewater system. While industrial
compliance is extremely high in Charlotte-Mecklenburg, identifying other potentially
hazardous discharge sources is an ongoing challenge. In fiscal year 2009, the Trunkline
Monitoring and Grease Free programs also continued, enabling Utilities System
Protection and Water Quality staff to closely observe what industrial, institutional, and
commercial customers discharge into the sewer network, identify potential problem areas,
and protect the collection system, sewer line workers, and treatment plants.
Wastewater Capacity Needs
In 2007 a study of the McAlpine, Irwin and Sugar creek basins was completed to help
identify our community’s future wastewater treatment capacity needs through the year
2030. Two of the larger, near-term projects include an expansion at the Sugar Creek
Wastewater Treatment Plant and a new regional wastewater treatment plant along the
Catawba River, near its intersection with Long Creek. Both projects will take years and
tens of millions of dollars to complete, and stakeholder input and sustainable design
practices are critical components of each. Sugar Creek is in the design phase and on
schedule. Long Creek is in the environmental permitting and planning phase. As we
proceed with the wastewater master plan, we will remain challenged to address
environmental and regulatory needs while designing sustainable facilities and staying
within budget, given all the construction cost increases we are experiencing. On another
note, the drought and water conservation have resulted in lower-than-projected flow rates
at our wastewater plants, and it is unclear yet whether these patterns will persist over time
such that wastewater capacities may be extended further than we originally projected.
