Big Plans for Mount Pleasant are Underway.

On Monday, November 11, sewer line replacement will begin on A Street and Reid Street. Work will continue for approximately 3-4 weeks. There will be a lane shift on Highway 73 (E. Franklin St.) for 2 days to make the tie in to the sewer main.

The bid deadline for the Mount Pleasant Water Line Project and Lower Adams Creek Sewer Outfall Project was September 25, 2024.  The Sewer Outfall Project received five bids.  The Town and project engineer are currently performing due diligence to verify the lowest responsible bid.  The water line project only received two bids.  State law requires a minimum of three bids to open.  Therefore, the Water Line Project has been readvertised and bids will now be opened on October 16, 2024 at 2pm.

As part of the sewer line work, traffic on East Franklin Street (NC Highway 73) will be reduced to one lane down to one lane in the vicintiy of C Street.  Work will begin Sunday, September 29, 2024 and will continue 24 hours a day for approximately one week.  The round the clock schedule has been approved by NCDOT in order to expedite the work and reduce the amount of time for the lane closure.

The long-awaited Mount Pleasant water line and Lower Adams Creek Sewer Outfall projects went out to bid this week.  Bid submittals are due September 25, 2024.  The Town Board of Commissioners is scheduled to accept the low bid at its October meeting and hopes to start the water line project by the end of the year.
