Big Plans for Mount Pleasant are Underway.

Infrastructure Improvement Projects

The Town of Mount Pleasant is working on some important infrastructure projects.  Most of these projects implement portions of the Town's Water and Sewer Master Plan that was adopted in 2007 for which the Town has recently secured funding.

Empire Drive Sewer Pump Station and Sewer Line

This project will retire the old Mountainbrook and Food Lion Pump Stations and serve the new Brighton Park subdivision.  Work is scheduled to begin in the late spring of 2024 and be completed by the end of September 2024.  Click here to see a composite map of all proposed sewer improvements.

Sewer Line and Manhole Rehabilitation (A, B, C, Wade, and Reid Streets)

This project will replace old clay sewer lines and manholes with new sewer lines and manholes along C Street, B Street, A Street, Wade Street, and Reid Street.  Work is expected to begin at the end of August 2024 and be completed by December 2024.  Street paving is also part of this project.  Click here to see a composite map of all proposed sewer improvements.

12-inch Water Mains

This project will replace old 6-inch water lines (most installed in 1937) with new 12-inch water mains along Main Street (North Drive to Lee Street), Franklin Street (Skyland Drive to Blueberry Street), Cook Street (Main Street to Washington Street), and Highway 49 (Main Street to Highway 73 interchange).  This project will improve both water quality and fire flow throughout the Town.  This project is expected to begin mid-2024 and will take 18-24 months to complete.  Click here to view the proposed improvements map.

Lower Adams Creek Sewer Outfall

This project was originally planned to be completed by the Water and Sewer Authority of Cabarrus County (WSACC) in 2009.  The project never came to fruition, so the Town is picking up the project where it left off.  This project will retire the Summer Street and Pasture pump stations.  A final timeline has not been established for this project yet.  Click here to view the proposed Lower Adams Creek Sewer Outfall map.  Click here to see a composite map of all proposed sewer improvements.
