APPROVAL OF REQUEST BY MR. THOMAS STANLEY REEVES TO CONNECT THE
DISCHARGE SEWAGE FROM THE CAROLINA OMELET HOUSE TO THE EXISTING
FORCE MAIN LOCATED IN CASTLE HAYNE
Assistant County Manager, Dave Weaver, reported that Mr. Thomas Stanley Reeves, owner
of Carolina Omelet House located at 5512 Castle Hayne Road, has requested the District to allow
the restaurant to discharge sewage into the existing sewer line running behind his property. Mr.
Reeves wants to increase the seating in the restaurant from 35 to 70 seats, but due to the limited
capacity of his septic tank, this cannot be done. If the restaurant is expanded to 70 seats, the sewer
flow will be 1,700 gallons per day. Since this is an existing restaurant, Staff recommends allowing
Mr. Reeves to connect to the force main if he pays all associated costs.
Discussion was held on how Mr. Reeves would be impacted once the existing force main
becomes a gravity line. Assistant County Manager Weaver explained that once the force main
becomes a gravity line, Mr. Reeves will be required to connect to the line upon availability.
Chairman Greer called for a motion.
