Pender County has an interlocal agreement with Cape Fear Public Utilities Authority regarding the provision of water and sewer services for portions of the Pender Commerce Park along the border between Pender and New Hanover Counties and extending into New Hanover. PCU and CFPUA agreed to construct an emergency water interconnection between the two utilities at the county line as part of the agreement. Each utility is responsible for extending their own water line to the joint border. CFPUA has begun design work and is moving forward with their part of the project. Pender County Utilities (PCU) is seeking Statements of Qualifications (SOQ) from consulting engineering firms experienced with water main design. The engineering firm will provide complete design, permitting, and construction administration/observation of approximately 1,000 feet of 12" water line at the US 421 corridor in western Pender County to connect with Cape Fear Public Water Authority (CFPUA).
