Episode Details

Brunswick County’s Northwest Water Treatment Plant is set for a major upgrade, with expanded capacity and PFAS removal technology coming online as early as August—just in time to meet growing demand and tackle contamination from the Chemours plant. A new low-pressure reverse osmosis system, expected full operation by 2026, will specifically target PFAS chemicals. Despite delays, the $167.3 million budget remains intact, with no water rate hikes planned—and contractors may even face deductions. On-site progress includes a new rapid-mix structure, upgraded clarifiers, eight new filters, and a half-million-gallon storage tank. The county, part of a lawsuit against DuPont and Chemours, is still seeking damages for the treatment system’s cost, with another update promised soon.
