<br /> The I&I program (Wastewater System Rehabilitation) is a strategic approach designed to reduce <br /> or limit the amount of groundwater/rainwater flow that is treated at the regional wastewater <br /> treatment plant as well as retain the carrying capacity of the collection system and maintain the <br /> infrastructure. Currently, illicit connections to the wastewater system or deterioration of the <br /> collection system (open joints, cracks, etc.) are allowing excessive groundwater or rainwater to <br /> enter the system. This reduces the carrying capacity of the collection system and contributes to <br /> large peaks in the:flows that are treated at the wastewater treatment plant. The Wet Weather <br /> Flow Management Plan (WWFMP) reinforces a focus on I&I reduction through rehabilitation of <br /> the existing system funded by user fees. 'The WWFMP also recommends the development of a <br /> program to address the private portion of the collection system; the community sewers <br /> rehabilitation program is a first step in that effort. <br /> Expansion of the wastewater collection system is financed primarily by Assessments: and <br /> Systems Development Charges (SDCs) charged against new development. This CIP includes <br /> proposed projects that will require the commitment of future local SDC revenues. <br /> City of Eugene 2004 - 2009 Capital Improvement Program <br /> Page 2 <br /> <br />
