Brunswick County Faces Big Sewer Expansion Decision: $348M to $588M Options

💰 Big numbers hanging over Brunswick County’s future: the West wastewater system is already sitting at 183% of its permitted capacity, and county staff say they need roughly 13.6 million more gallons a day just to serve what’s already approved. The options on the table: a $348M expansion (6 million gallons/day), $495M (9 MGD), or $588M (12 MGD). Nothing’s decided yet — but this is the decision that will shape a decade of growth.
