Funding <br /> i <br /> The Wastewater Capital Program is supported by wastewater user fees, wastewater systems <br /> development charges, and assessments to property owners. These funds are currently <br /> adequate to maintain the existing system as well as support new service areas and the current <br /> ~ effort of the I&I program. <br /> ~ The I&I program is a strategic approach designed to reduce or limit the amount of <br /> groundwater/rainwater flow that is treated at the regional wastewater treatment plant as well <br /> as retain the carrying capacity of the collection system and maintain the infrastructure. ~ <br /> Currently, illicit connections to the wastewater system or deterioration of the collection system <br /> (open joints, cracks, etc.) are allowing excessive groundwater or rainwater to enter the system. ' <br /> This reduces the carrying capacity of the collection system and contributes to large peaks in <br /> j the flows that are treated at the wastewater treatment plant.. The Wet Weather Management <br /> Study reinforces a focus on I&i reduction through user fees. <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 /> ~ <br /> i <br /> ",1 <br /> I <br /> <br /> 1 <br /> r' <br /> l.,; <br /> < 1 <br /> ~ <br /> i ~ <br /> City of Eugene 2002-2007 Capital Improvement Program <br /> Page 75 <br /> <br />
