Pilot Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant Rebuilding Project

The Pilot Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant Rebuilding Project is an ambitious and essential undertaking, aiming to revitalize and modernize a critical piece of infrastructure that has served our community for over 50 years. As this plant nears the end of its useful life, the design will not only rebuild the entire existing facility but also significantly upgrade the sanitary sewer collection system. This project includes more than 9.5 miles of force main and 8.5 miles of gravity sewer, extending vital services to new development areas southwest of the city.

Key components of the treatment plant's extensive rebuilding involve strategic improvements to essential facilities such as the lab, office, headworks, and chlorinator. These upgrades are designed with future expansion in mind, ensuring the plant can meet increasing treatment demands and support ongoing community growth.

Moreover, this project represents a significant step towards the regionalization of sanitary sewer systems, reinforcing our commitment to economic development across the region. It underscores our support for the City of Kings Mountain, the Town of Grover, and the surrounding areas. The $78+ million investment in this infrastructure project will yield lasting benefits, enhancing the quality of life and economic prospects for residents in the City of Kings Mountain, the Town of Grover, and southeastern Cleveland County for generations to come.
