Wastewater <br />The Capital Improvement Program for Wastewater is supported by the 1992 Urban Sanitary <br />Sewer Master Plana 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 (I&I) 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&I 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 />In general, projects in all three categories help address Growth Management Policy 17, <br />protection/enhancement of air and water quality and habitat. <br />City of Eugene 2002-2007 Capital Improvement Program <br />Page 74 <br />__ _ __ <br />
