The Lancaster County Water and Sewer District is in need of the attached 0.42 acre easement on the subject Lancaster County tract. This is part of their $17 M SCIIP project for the Riverside Regional Water Transmission Main. It will allow them to provide a secondary dedicated transmission main to their system while also providing an additional backfeed to the City of Lancaster system.
This property is between Hwy 9 and DHEC Road near Grace Avenue. They had to avoid the Duke Energy substation and the parking lot for the Lancaster Holdings parcel. The Lancaster Holdings owner has verbally approved this arrangement/alignment.
The project will support a 24-inch water main to build redundancy and capacity to the Airport/Air Rail area and all of the south of Highway 5 area of the County. Their typical payment methodology assigns $2,400 in value for this acquisition.
