Organization:

Neuse Regional Water and Sewer Authority

Amount:

1300000

Program Area:

Disaster Recovery Grant Program

County of Applicant:

Lenoir

Year:

10/04/2018

Description:

The grant provided funding to the Neuse Regional Water and Sewer Authority to modify the raw water intake system. Flooding during Hurricane Matthew had moved the encroaching sediment bar significantly closer to the intake, resulting in sediment uptake. NRWASA had four raw water intake screens installed in the Neuse River, with periodic dredging required to prevent sediment from entering the intake. Golden LEAF Disaster Recovery Grant Program funds were used to support the construction of additional intake screens downstream.
