DRAFT OCTOBER 17, 2011 18,500 water service connections that are estimated to occur by the Year 2041. 6) Identify and eliminate any remaining dead-end water mains. 7) Periodically review the existing Surface Water Supply Contract to ensure that it will provide the necessary amount of water to supply the City's build -out development. At minimum, a review should be conducted if water use per capita increases to 400 gallons per day. 8) Continue to fund and implement an aggressive maintenance program and annual water line replacement program. This has become particularly important due to deficiencies identified during the recent drought, e.g., some of the existing concrete asbestos piping in the City has shown not to be as durable as other types of piping, and thus should be prioritized for replacement. 9) Periodically update the Water Master Plan, Water Conservation Plan, and Drought Contingency Plan to reflect changing conditions. capacityGOAL 4: Sufficient and efficient wastewater systems and accommodate the build -out population and compliance with state/fecle rl Actions and Initiatives 1) Conduct a feasibility study to determine if the wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) can be improved to increase the total available quantity of reuse water and to determine where additional public or private reuse opportunities in the City might be located. 2) Continue to allocate approximately $350,000 annually to combat infiltration and inflow (1/1) problems and thus, minimize the amount of water reaching the WWTP that does not need to be treated. 3) Continue to allocate funding, as needed, to conduct lift station evaluation studies as means for identifying the highest priority lift stations to be replaced, consolidated, or eliminated. Currently, funding should be allocated to upgrade the following projects as identified in the most recent Lift Station Evaluation Study: a. Lift Station 10_jcompleted as of 2011 , b. Lift Station 19; c. Lift Station 37_Jscheduled for completion Jan. 2012 ,- d. Lift Station 14; and e. Lift Station 13. 4) Continue to allocate funding to replace, consolidate, or eliminate at least one lift annually per the recommendations identified in the lift station evaluation studies. 5) Continue to apply for Community Development Block Grant (CBDG) funds to increase the resiliency of infrastructure systems. This should include, among other things, purchasing additional backup generators at the WWTP to ensure sufficient operational capacity during power outages.
