DRAFT OCTOBER 17, 2011 station evaluation study to determine the next five highest priority projects. That evaluation study identified the following priority projects as well as a need for $2,082,000 in funding 14: • Lift Station 10_Jcompleted as of 2011J, • Lift Station 13; • Lift Station 14; • Lift Station 19; and • Lift Station 37 (scheduled for completion Jan. 2012). Key Planning Considerations 1) Addressing long-term expansion and rehabilitation needs within the existing systems through targeted capital improvements (e.g., to address deteriorated older pipes, increasing line sizes, removing dead -ends, and adding additional water storage). 2) Supporting effective, ongoing planning and system monitoring — in parallel with land use and development tracking — to ensure that needed infrastructure is available in the remaining areas of future growth and the City's capital investment phasing and timing is on target with new and continuing service demands. ., Improved data collection and analysis of public utilitV needsinfrastructure systems to help prioritize the short- and long-term maintenance for existing infrastructure. Actions and Initiatives 1) Complete the geographic information system (GIS) mapping database, i.e., Utility Mapping Program, by providing additional resources to capture and input the necessary data for a complete asset management program. (see inset) This system should be utilized to maintain records on inflow and infiltration (1/1) problems and main breaks, types and sizes of piping, dates of improvements and repairs, and other information relevant to an asset management system. Data should be used as a prioritization tool in the preparation of annual budgets and capital improvement programs. 2) Conduct a system -wide condition analysis of all utility infrastructure, i.e., storm sewer, water, and wastewater, to determine an appropriate short- and long-term plan of action to repair, rehabilitate, or replace existing utility infrastructure. Information should be entered into the Utility Mapping Program to identify targeted geographic areas with the greatest needs. 3) Allocate the necessary funding on an annual basis to implement the corrections identified in the conditions analysis so that the City's limited funds can be expended in a cost-effective, efficient, and timely manner to correct the greatest areas of need. 14 HDR/Claunch & Miller Lift Station Evaluation Study. 2008 A COMMUNITY VISI N FOR LAPORTE, TEXAS - 2010 L.PDATL
