Albemarle, N.C., secures $17 million state funding for water and sewer upgrades
(UI) — According to WSOC-TV, the city of Albemarle is set to enhance its water systems with a substantial $17 million funding allocation from the North Carolina State budget.
The allocated funds will be directed towards two key projects. The first involves the replacement of a 24-inch raw water line, dating back to 1947, transporting up to 12 million gallons of water daily from Badin Lake. The new water line, spanning from Old Whitney Pumhouse Road to the water treatment plant, is estimated to cost around $32 million.
Simultaneously, the second project focuses on replacing a 20-inch water line along U.S. Highway 52, connecting the water treatment plant to the Atrium Health Stanly hospital campus. This project, with an estimated cost of approximately $6.2 million, underscores the city's commitment to modernizing its water infrastructure, according to WSOC-TV.
The strategic utilization of the $17 million state funding reflects Albemarle's proactive approach to addressing vital water system needs, ensuring the sustainable development of the community.
