Water Main Upgrade Program
Develop, Fund and Implement the
replacement and upgrade of the
existing cast iron water mains in the
highlighted areas.
These water mains have exceeded
their functional life. Undersized and
somewhat further restricted by
corrosion from age, it is now
necessary to replace and upgrade
these water mains to ensure
adequate fire protection and suitable
water circulation to improve water
quality.
New water mains will be a minmum
of 8” cement lined ductile iron pipe,
which can provide a service life of
around 100 years.

Sanitary Sewer Inflow and Infiltration Elimination Program
Further develop and fund a sanitary sewer inflow and infiltration elimination program. Develop projects from
recommended repairs and rehabilitation outlined in the Sewer System Infiltration and Inflow Report of September,
2014, by Woodward & Curran, Water/Sewer Engineers.
These projects may include sewer manhole repairs, sewer pipe lining, manhole lining and limited sewer pipeline
replacement to reduce infiltration.
Further study is needed as well, to identify infiltration and inflow sources in additional segments of the sewer system.
Sewer inflow and infiltration decreases the efficiency of
treatment and increases sewerage volumes and cost.
Water entering sanitary sewers from an inappropriate
connection is called inflow. Typical sources include sump
pumps, roof drains, cellar drains, and yard drains.
Groundwater entering sanitary sewers through defective pipe
joints and damaged pipes are called infiltration. Pipes may leak
because of careless installation; they may also be damaged
after installation by differential ground movement, heavy vehicle
traffic on roadways above the sewer, careless construction
practices in nearby trenches, or degradation of the sewer pipe
materials. In general, volume of leakage will increase over time.
Stormwater Drainage Improvements Program
Advance and Fund improvements and upgrades to the Stormwater Drainage System to improve surface water drainage and to
develop plans and Best Management Practices (BMPs) to comply
with the requirements of the National Pollution Discharge
Elimination System Permit.
Some improvements may include culvert and headwall
replacements, additional storm water catch basins with sumps and
hooded pipe outlets, improvements to waterways and banks to
reduce or eliminate erosion and changes to our methods of
roadway surface improvements to reduce impacts from changes to
surface elevations.
National Pollution Discharge Elimination System Permit (NPDES)
The NPDES permit program addresses water pollution by regulating point sources that discharge pollutants to waters of the United States.
Created in 1972 by the Clean Water Act, the NPDES permit program is authorized to state governments by EPA to perform many permitting, administrative,
and enforcement aspects of the program.
The Clean Water Act prohibits anybody from discharging "pollutants" through a "point source" into a "water of the United States" unless they have an
NPDES permit. The permit will contain limits on what you can discharge, monitoring and reporting requirements, and other provisions to ensure that the
discharge does not impact water quality or people's health. In essence, the permit translates general requirements of the Clean Water Act into specific
provisions tailored to the operations of each person, agency or entity discharging pollutants.
Roadways, Sidewalks, and Crosswalks
Development and funding of annual roadway maintenance program to improve and preserve paved surfaces on
roads and sidewalks, enhance sidewalk and crosswalk safety and improve surface drainage.
