Barren River Area Development District - Kentucky: Infrastructure ...

Appendix B – Barren River Area Development District • DRAFT
The sewage treatment plant discharges into the Green River. It was built in 1980, to a total
rated capacity of 0.500 mgd. The dry weather load on the plant is about 0.230 mgd, with a
wet weather load of about 0.450 mgd. There is an industrial pre-treatment program in place
and it works very well. There are nine lift stations in the system, which serve both the
residential and industrial customers. A study has shown that most of the infiltration/inflow
comes from the older parts of the system which were constructed around 1935.
Randell Gaskey who reports to the Morgantown Utility Board operates the sanitary sewer
system. Sewer rates for residential and commercial customers are set at 110% of the total
water bill.
The treatment plant generally meets its permit requirements and the only problems
experienced are from power failures, due to inclement weather.
The capacity of the sewer treatment plant is great enough to support any future
development. Currently, there are no plans to expand the capacity of the sewer treatment
plant.
Funds are needed to extend the collector system to households which are not currently
served by Morgantown Utilities Sanitary Sewer System. Also, funds are needed for general
maintenance and upkeep of the system.
