Key Issues

Target Levels of Service

• Performance•F-5-5

•Facility Capacity

•Growth

•Basement Flooding

•I&I Reductions

• Condition and Maintenance

Main driver for upgrade needs

•Different system condition and performance

•Different project needs and outcomes

•Potential for municipality based LoS

•Target LoS will be a guideline for flexibility and resilience

3 Municipalities & Region

•Understand current system hydraulic performance, review areas of concern, set target levels of service

•Review existing system condition and determine maintenance, staffing and resourcing strategies to maintain or improve LoS

Approach

15

Growth Projections

• Timing,

• Scenarios,

• Resiliency of project recommendations

Availability and precision of growth will impact:

• Next meeting dedicated to review growth in detail

• Coordination and communication with Planning Staff

• Leverage MSP growth scenarios and complete sensitivity analysis of ranges and densities

• Develop capital plan project triggers in terms of development units instead of time/year

• Potential oversizing for resiliency and flexibility

Mitigation Strategy

16

Model

•Updated and Consolidated Model

•Support local and regional needs for PPCP

Hydraulic Model Needs

•3 models in different states

•Data availability and maturity to update and calibrate

•Flow monitoring

•Network

•Facilities

•Smithville Community Master Plan

Model Challenges

•Follow Region MSP Model build guidelines

•Dynamic Wet Weather flow Model

•Separate workshop to review approach (TM#3 & TM#5)

Confirm Deliverables

If Flow Monitoring included in scope:

• 2 months project delayed

• $ 4,910 / site additional cost

• Opportunities to leverage parallel

Regional Flow Monitoring Program

Benefits:

• Fill data gaps

• More representative baseline of existing

system performance

24

Next Steps

25

Request for Information

26

Request for Information

• Draw down testing

• Recommended at all stations

• Ilija to confirm which stations have been done in past two years and who will complete

work if required

• Combination of pumps to be considered to define operational vs install capacity

• Lincoln CCTV data to be provided end of 2019

• Different system have different GIS detail, will be identified in data gap analysis

27

Next Steps

• Continue Collect and review of Background Information

• TM#1 & TM#2

• Background tech memo to identify available information

• Recommendations for flow monitoring needs

• Prepare Project Communication Plan

Next Steps
