Point
Pleasant is a 225 acre community located on a peninsula between
Furnace Creek and Marley Creek in northeastern Anne Arundel County.
Built during the 1950s, this residential community had private septic
systems and an inadequate storm drainage system. By the 1970s, many
of the septic systems were failing and the streets and homes where
subject to frequent flooding.
We
surveyed and designed a drainage collection system to alleviate
street and yard flooding, and a sanitary sewage collection system
to replace the private systems. In some areas, grinder pressure
pumps were found to be a more economical solution than a gravity
collection system. We also designed a pumping station to pump the
sewage from the system to the Cox Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant.
