Project Scope:

This project installs approximately 11,300 linear feet of waterline to connect Chapel Grove Elementary School to the municipal water system. This will prime the area for future growth and reduce dependency on well water for local residents. This project is being undertaken in coordination with the City of Gastonia and Two Rivers Utilities, who will eventually take over and provide service for the line.

This project is being supported, in whole, or in part, by federal award number CFDA 21.027 awarded to Gaston County by the US Department of the Treasury.

Background:

Gaston County has received federal funding under the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) to improve critical infrastructure and utilities for county residents. The County is using part of this grant money to expand water and sewer services to outlying areas. Of particular focus are public schools, who pose a higher throughput demand and are currently experiencing capacity and flow rate issues stemming from their aging well systems.
