**Utility Updates**
Wayne Whorton with NC DOT stated that there has been an increase of fiber optic cables being
damaged. He also stated that many contractors and sub-contractors are not burying cables and
pipe deep enough. Howard Corey commented that the main question asked from home owners is,
“how deep are the lines buried?” The response is, anywhere from a few inches to several inches
in depth.
Donnie Pierce with Sadale Utilities said that supply lines for off-site sewer are being hit on a
regular basis. Nobody gets contacted to locate those lines.
Eddie Caron with ONWASA stated that a 6” force main will be installed (at Kenwood
subdivision, and on Firetower Rd to connect to an existing line on Pony Farm Rd), as part of
Phase II of the Western Onslow Trunk Sewer project.
Chairman Josh Foley and Anthony Harris with ONWASA discussed road work projects on
Ridge Rd, Drummer Kellum at Hwy 17, and Halltown Rd at Hwy 17. Josh talked of future work
to straighten Rhodestown Rd.
Sherry Mora of PRG Consulting stated that she is a (3rd party) investigator, working for Time
Warner Cable. She wanted to remind utility contractors that she will be in the area investigating
damages and just wanted everyone to be aware of what she is doing.
Randall Chappell, investigator for Duke Energy, introduced himself and advised that he is also
working to help curb loss due to damages. He suggested that utility crews take pictures of their
locate marks before digging.
Meeting ended at 12:40 pm.
Minutes prepared by Sherry Jones with ONWASA.
The next meeting is scheduled for Thursday, February 18th.
Lunch will be sponsored by Jones Onslow EMC. See you then!
