LCFWASA LCFWASA pumps untreated water from just north of Lock and Dam No. 1 on the Cape Fear River in Riegelwood, all the way down to the Sweeney Water Treatment Plant, north of the Isabel Holmes bridge in Wilmington. Water travels through a 48-inch pipeline that stretches 24 miles and crosses the river twice. Crews are working to install a second, 54-inch parallel pipeline that traverses the same path. Once online, the $37 million project will immediately increase LCFWASA’s delivery output, from 45 millions of gallons a day (mgd) the current max to an estimated 62 mgd, without additional improvements necessary.

(Port City Daily photo / CFPUA) WILMINGTON Make no mistake: Geoff Gisler is not pleased that Chemours recently violated a judge’s order to keep toxic chemicals out of the Cape Fear River. Gisler, an attorney with the Southern Environmental Law Center (SELC), won’t be satisfied until the substances known as PFAS including Genx are no longer escaping from the Chemours plant near Fayetteville. Compared to several years ago, when there was little being done to stop high levels of PFAS from flowing into the river, Gisler believes the recent violations are a good problem to have. ....
