PUBLIC HEARING DRAFT SEPTEMBER 20, 2012 commissioned a second lift station evaluation study to determine five highest priority projects. That evaluation study identified 14 priority projects as well as a need for $2,082,000 in funding: 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 t existing systems through targeted capital improvements (e.g., to deteriorated older pipes, increasing line sizes, removing dead-e 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 and continuing service demands. GOAL 2: Improved data collection and analysis of public utility infrastructure systems to help prioritize the short- and long-te maintenance needs for existing infrastructure.
