Cleveland Mulls Tap Water and Toilet Flushing . . .
It's nice to turn on a faucet or flush a toilet and not give it a second thought, but Cleveland, North Carolina is growing and waste water is becoming a key concern. The current water and sewer systems have some mileage, and as the town becomes more populated, the needs get greater, including the need for more water and removal of the water that is used. The town board invited Mike Koser of Withers & Ravenel to the March 2020 monthly meeting 2-9-2020 to update on the current waste water treatment study for Cleveland which has been ongoing. Currently Cleveland is at stage two of a four step process to guide the future of water and sewer in the town. The first two steps included a request to the state of North Carolina to make changes or upgrades, and the second step involved documenting the need to upgrade water/sewer. Requests have been made, and new houses and the new elementary school prove the need for more infrastructure. More studies and concrete information a
