I-85 Sanitary Sewer Improvement Project

SGWASA serves southern Granville County, including Creedmoor, Butner, and Stem. Due to maxed-out wastewater system capacity, a development moratorium was enacted in 2018 for parts of Creedmoor and Butner. From 2019–2025, SGWASA collaborated with partners to design and fund a solution. CDM-Smith completed engineering plans and split the project into two construction packages: CP#1: Bid in July 2024; contract awarded to Haren Construction for $34.8M in December 2024. CP#2: Bid in May–June 2025. Total estimated project cost: $75 million.

CP#1 Status: ( In Progress/On Schedule): CP#1 includes the construction of two new sewer pump stations and the installation of new sewer pipe (gravity and force main). Haren Construction started construction on 4/1/25. Construction is on schedule and on budget.
c)
CP#2 Status: ( In Progress): A recommendation of contract award to Park Construction for the Southern Interceptor Sewer construction occurred at the October 14, 2025, Board of Directors meeting. The Board of Directors approved a contract with Park Construction NC, Inc., in the not-to exceed amount of $30,238,282. The project is funded in part by the United States of Agriculture (USDA). Construction for CP#2 started in November. A project timeline is shown below.
Note: Due to the proposed costs and budget constraints associated with the proposed work associated with CP#2, only the construction of the Southern Interceptor Sewer will be completed at this time. On September 5, the Finance Committee reviewed the $8M cost for the Northern Interceptor but made no funding decisions. Further discussion is planned by the Finance Committee at their upcoming meeting(s) .
