<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Utilities <br /> <br />Water <br /> <br />Hoosier Water Company and Hill Water Cooperative serve the Moor- <br />esville area. During the 1988 drought, Mooresville used no more <br />than two-thirds of its pumping capacity. Hoosier Water Service <br />extends to the area between the east and west forks of White <br />lick Creek and to the area west of Johnson Road between State <br />Road 144 and Hadley Road. Areas not served by these water <br />services rely on individual wells. <br /> <br />Wastewater <br /> <br />Mooresville's wastewater treatment plant is in excellent <br />condition. The plant meets all state federal requirements. <br /> <br />The treatment plant is an activated sludge facility with anaero- <br />bic sludge digestion and chlorination of final effluent. It is <br />designed for a population of 10,000 users and has a design flow <br />of 1.5 million gallons per day average, with a peak daily load <br />of 2.5 million gallons. The design calls for 95Y. removal of <br />biochemical oxygen demand, SUspended solids and ammonia <br />nitrogen. Sand, gravel and other heavy materials are hauled to <br />approved landfills for disposal. Digested sludge is hauled to <br />farmland for use as a soil conditioner and fertilizer. <br />. <br />Average daily flows for reporting years 1988, the year of the <br />drought, and 1989, a year with above average rainfall, were <br />1.287 and 1.662 million gallons per day respectively. The plant <br />operates at or above design flow due to additional ground water <br />infiltration during periods of heavy rainfall. The infiltration <br />problem is being addressed gradually through the replacement of <br />old lines. In planning line replacement, the economics of <br />treating the ground water versus replacing the line are <br />considered~ <br /> <br />The first plant was built on the present site on Park Drive in <br />1959. In 1974, it was enlarged to include secondary holding <br />tanks and a grit removal process and to provide a capacity of <br />one million gallons daily. The latest improvements, including <br />new pumping facilities, an oxidation ditch, a new outfall sewer <br />into White lick Creek and a new administration building with <br />laboratory and garage, were made in 1986. <br /> <br />Sewage from the west side of Mooresville is taken to the treat- <br />ment plant via an interceptor line that begins at Main Street <br />and loops west of town behind the Village Shopping Center, under <br />State Road 67 and on to the plant. An east side interceptor <br />begins at Bridge Street and carries sewage along the east fork <br />of White lick Creek to the plant. <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />Existing Conditions 17 <br />
