What: the wastewater plant (WRRF) expansion project, now at part six of a city video series; a water supply explainer; and resident complaints about water treatment plant odors.
Update 2026-10-20
Staff said the 72-units-per-year wastewater permitting policy is now being waived on request as the plant expansion nears completion; see Gardens on 11th Rezoning.
Log
2026-10-20 - City Council - Not an agenda item, but in the Gardens on 11th hearing staff said the city's policy of permitting 72 units per year is being relaxed case by case because the wastewater plant expansion is far along; the applicant asked to permit all 120 units in one year (moot after denial).
2026-09-08 - City Council - Not on the agenda as such, but a closely related item was heard: a water main relocation at Old Hillsboro Road (Old Hillsboro Road Waterline Relocation). A staffer noted the wastewater plant expansion is far along, which is why 72-units-per-year requests were being allowed to come to council, and council members recalled water use restrictions last year. Members also doubted Mebane's water and sewer capacity could serve a data center (Data Center Moratorium).
