Mr. Fred Pilkington, Health Director, reported that there are approximately 8,602,500 gallons of effluent discharged into Rocky River each day from plants in Cabarrus County, Iredell County, and Mecklenburg County. According to Mr. Pilkington, the two largest plants upstream from Cabarrus County which are discharging effluent into Rocky River are the City of ~oresville with 5,000,000 gallons per day and the City of Davidson with 400,000 gallons per day. Mr. Pilkington estimated that at any given time approximately five percent (5%) of the package treatment plants are malfunctioning and discharging almost 500,000 gallons of raw sewage into the river each day.
