Wastewater / Sewer
Wastewater Treatment & Collection Services
This involves the maintenance, repair and installation of all underground pipelines that collects the waste water from your property, treats the contaminated water, and then returns it to the Tar River. The Town of Louisburg installs all water and sewer taps of domestic line size. Commercial and industrial tap installation is often the responsibility of the developer/contractor constructing such new developments. This determination is based on proposed line size and water flow requirements. Once a Tap Application is paid for at the Business Office located at the Louisburg Town Hall, 110 W. Nash St., it is forwarded to our department. Once we receive the application is takes between 10 to 14 business days for the tap to be installed. Water meters are installed to measure consumption and valves are installed to control the flow. Fire hydrants are installed to provide fire protection.
Used water, also called wastewater or sewer, has its own piping system to deliver it to the Louisburg Water Reclamation Facility. Manholes are installed along this line to allow access for cleaning and inspection.
Sewer concerns consist of sewer stoppages, sewer main breaks, sewer service line breaks, sewer line locations, sewer tap schedules, manhole top replacements, manhole locations, and manhole installation.
Please contact the Town of Louisburg, 496-4145 if you notice any seepage from manholes or lines that you may believe to be sewer. If such leak is noticed after normal business hours please contact the Louisburg Fire Department at 496-4290.
