Project Title:
Richmond Village Wastewater Collection System

Project Description:
Richmond Village was developed in the 1970’s with utilities being installed by the private developer. Water, Sewer, and Gas lines are all placed in a narrow strip behind and between the houses. Originally the sewer lines were nothing but community straight pipes. In the 1980’s Paintsville Utilities installed an outfall line through the community, intercepting the straight pipes. The original portion of the collection system is subject to extreme inflow and infiltration resulting in unnecessary high flows to the plant and frequent overflows in the neighborhood during rain events. The lift station for this neighborhood pumps to the lift station in another neighborhood. As a result, occasional overflows have been experienced in the second neighborhood. The inadequacy of this system also limits the expansion of our wastewater system to the east of Paintsville. The proposal is to install a new collector system in the Richmond Village neighborhood. Due to inadequate space and interference with other utilities the new system will need to be constructed in the streets rather than the narrow utility strip between the houses. Flows will continue to be directed to the existing Clifton Horne lift station which will be upgraded, including a new force main take the discharge from this lift station directly to the Paintsville Wastewater Treatment Plant. Approximately 81 homes will be directly impacted. This project will have a positive impact on Levisa Fork. Additionally, the proposal includes an extension of the sewer service to Pack Hill Drive which is situated directly across RT 40 from Richmond Village. This extension will provide service to 5 homes which are currently not served.

Need For Project: Briefly describe how this project promotes public health or achieves and/or maintains compliance with the Clean Water Act or Safe Drinking Water Act:
The original portion of the collection system is subject to extreme inflow and infiltration resulting in unnecessary high flows to the plant and frequent overflows in the neighborhood during rain events. The lift station for this neighborhood pumps to the lift station in another neighborhood. As a result, occasional overflows have been experienced in the second neighborhood. The inadequacy of this system also limits the expansion of our wastewater system to the east of Paintsville.

Green Infrastructure:

Green stormwater infrastructure includes a wide array of practices at multiple scales that manage wet weather and that maintains and restores natural hydrology by infiltrating, evapotranspiring and harvesting and using stormwater. On a regional scale, green infrastructure is the preservation and restoration of natural landscape features, such as forests, floodplains, and wetlands, coupled with policies such as infill and redevelopment that reduce overall imperviousness in a watershed. On the local scale, green infrastructure consists of site and neighborhood-specific practices, such as:

Component		Cost
Item 1:	Implementation of green streets.
Item 2:	Wet Weather management systems for parking areas.
Item 3:	Implementation of comprehensive urban forestry programs.
Item 4:	Stormwater harvesting and reuse.
Item 5:	Downspout disconnection.
Item 6:	Comprehensive retrofit programs designed to keep wet weather discharges out of sewer systems.
Item 7:	Establishment or restoration of riparian buffers, floodplains, wetlands or other natural features.
Item 8:	Management of wetlands.
Item 9:	Purchase of land or easements on land that has a direct benefit to water quality.
Total Cost:

* Indicates a business case may be required for this item.

If any box(es) above are checked, please describe each below.

Item 5:	Developing water audit and conservation plans, which are reasonably expected to result in a capital project.
Item 6:	Recycling and water reuse projects that replace potable sources with non-potable sources (Gray water, condensate, and wastewater effluent reuse systems, extra treatment or distribution costs associated with water reuse).
Item 7:	Retrofit or replacement of existing landscape irrigation/agricultural systems to more efficient landscape/agricultural irrigation systems (rain and moisture sensing equipment)
Item 8:	Water meter replacement with traditional water meters.*
Item 9:	Projects that result from a water audit or water conservation plan.*
Item 10:	Storage tank replacement/rehabilitation to reduce water loss.*
