Fuquay-Varina IBT

Overview

The Town of Fuquay-Varina has submitted a Notice of Intent (NOI) to request an Interbasin Transfer (IBT) Certificate. Currently, the town purchases wholesale water from the City of Raleigh, Harnett County and Johnston County, although this supply cannot meet future demands. To address this, the town is seeking approval to transfer 6.12 million gallons per day (MGD) from the Cape Fear River Basin to the Neuse River Basin, based on 2055 demand projections. The proposed preferred alternative would involve sourcing the Town of Fuquay-Varina's entire water supply from the Tri-Rivers (i.e., City of Sanford) Water Treatment Plant in the Cape Fear River Basin. The Town would continue sending the collected wastewater to both the North Harnett County Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTP) in the Cape Fear River basin and the Terrible Creek and the Brighton Forest WWTPs, located in the Neuse River basin. The consumptive demand in the receiving river basin through septic systems and outdoor watering is also considered in the proposed basin transfer.
