Upscale golf community benefits from $830K earmark in NC budget
Over the past few years, a pumping station at River Landing in Duplin County has struggled to keep up with the sewage flow at the upscale golf community started by hog farming magnate Wendell Murphy and his family.
Sewage has spilled at least three times from the station, and in one case made it to a pond close by. The nearby town of Wallace has workers divert the sewage flow during significant rains to prevent further spills. More importantly, the lack of sewage capacity has impeded River Landing’s plans to expand its hotel at the front of the 1,600-acre community.
