Currently,
the District provides sewer service for almost 300 customers in Montgomery
County, specifically the subdivision of Uwharrie Point. Upon completion of
the presently ongoing Badin Lake Sewer Project, the District will supply
sewer service to a total of approximately 2,200 connections (5,500
customers) in Montgomery and Davidson counties. Handy has an agreement with
the Town of Troy for the treatment of this wastewater and the new sewer
system will include at least 50 miles of lines, as well as 11 major pump
stations.
