Significant Issues and Trends• Continued Infrastructure Growth

– Underground utility lengths along with valves, hydrants and manholes have increased 15% since 2001. This trend will slow in the coming years as available land for development is used up.

– Road infrastructure has increased 7.7% since 2001 with long lengths of the rural roads requiring rehabilitation.

Significant Issues and Trends (cont’d)• Demand on existing water infrastructure in the rural areas;• Transportation issues continue on local roads from the new Golden Ears

Bridge and to the continued growth in areas to the east of the City;• Long term replacement strategies for all the City’s utilities are reviewed

annually to match up with available funding;• Funding for major new projects requires long term planning;• Accelerated vegetative growth restricting flows in the lowland drainage

system.
