Goal
3: Provide safe and cost-effective water, wastewater,
stormwater, and waste management systems.North
Carolina's unmet water and sewer demands are troubling,
if not overwhelming. It is estimated that the state faces
$15 billion in long-term water, sewer, and stormwater
system requirements. The state's ability to manage its
solid waste likewise is being tested. Per capita tonage
sent to landfills continues to rise. At the current rate,
within 20 years, North Carolina will need twice its existing
landfill capacity.
