Wilmington, NC / Scotts Hill Water Main Extension

New Hanover County, North Carolina (County), was awarded a Community Development Block Grant – Infrastructure (CDBG-I) from the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) under HUD Federal Award AL# 14.228 for the Scotts Hill Water Main Extension Project (Project).

The Project will extend public water service to 57 parcels currently relying on individual wells, benefiting 50 low to moderate income households, with funding support from both CDBG-I and County funds. The majority of households (43 out of 57) have reported dry well issues and water quality concerns. All affected households have committed to connecting to the new public water system. The selected engineer will be critical in the successful execution of this Project.

The Cape Fear Public Utility Authority (CFPUA) is administering the engineering and construction contracts, with reimbursement from New Hanover County. CFPUA is seeking an engineering firm experienced with CDBG-I administration, survey, design, permitting and construction services for the Project. The Project includes the installation of approximately 3,200 linear feet of 2-inch water lines, 3,800 linear feet of 8-inch water lines, and 7 fire hydrants. The Project area consists of Stephens Church Road, McIntyre Trail, Foys Trail, and Creekwood Road.
