Wastewater <br /> The Capital Improvement Program for Wastewater is supported by the 1992 Urban Sanitary <br /> Sewer Master Plan. This plan identifies future needs and estimates the costs to extend service <br /> to developing areas within the Urban Growth Boundary (UGB). The plan also includes <br /> recommendations for rehabilitation of existing systems and management of infiltration and <br /> ~ inflow p&q entering the wastewater collection system. <br /> A Wet Weather Management Study for the wastewater system serving the Eugene/Springfield <br /> metropolitan area is being reviewed in anticipation of adoption by winter 2001 through the <br /> Metropolitan Wastewater Management Commission (MWMC). Elements of the study reinforce <br /> the recommendations for rehabilitation in the Urban Sanitary Sewer Master Plan and are <br /> incorporated in this proposed CIP. In addition, the Public Facilities Plan element of the <br /> Metropolitan Comprehensive Plan being updated by the Lane Council of Governments <br /> (LCOG) is scheduled to be completed in the next year. Both of these studies will likely result <br /> in some future modifications. to the City of Eugene's six year CIP. <br /> Project Categories <br /> Wastewater projects are described in one of three ways: <br /> 1. Preservation and Maintenance -These projects address both the preservation of the <br /> investment in existing facilities where routine preventive maintenance activities are no <br /> longer cost-effective, as well as I&1 reduction. These projects are funded by user fees, <br /> which are currently focused on infiltration and inflow reduction. <br /> 2. Upgrades and Capacity Enhancements -These projects include modification, <br /> improvement, or expansion of existing facilities. Pump station upgrades are the primary <br /> project type within this category which is likely to be more prevalent as the studies <br /> mentioned above are completed. No projects of this type are included in this current <br /> CIP. Projects identified from the studies will be included in the next CIP update. <br /> 3. New Capital Facilities -These projects result in a new capital asset and generally occur <br /> in anticipation of, or in response to, new development. New capital facilities are <br /> funded mainly by assessments, user fees, system development fees and through <br /> construction of system components by new development. <br /> _ <br /> In general, projects in all three categories help address Growth Management Policy 17, <br /> protection/enhancement of air and water quality and habitat. <br /> <br /> I <br /> (~.1 <br /> City of Eugene 2002-2007 Capital Improvement Program <br /> Page 74 <br /> _ _ _ <br /> <br />
