Infrastructure Asset Management Plan

Water Distribution Master Plan Class Environmental Assessment Study

Water and Sanitary Sewer Rate Design

Thursday, February 25, 2016 - 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.

Waterloo Memorial Recreation Complex, Hauser Haus

101 Father David Bauer Dr, Waterloo, ON


What are we talking about tonight?

We are talking about three things tonight:

1. Our Infrastructure Asset Management Plan How we are enhancing our understanding of how

much we need to spend on our infrastructure assets.

2. Our Water and Sewer Rate Design Study

How we pay for our water and wastewater systems.

3. Our Water Distribution Master Plan

How we are making sure that our water system will

continue to provide excellent service to our

community over the next 25 years.

What are our water and wastewater systems?

• The City and the Region are responsible for

delivering water and wastewater services to our

community.

• The Region is primarily responsible for the

supply and treatment infrastructure to provide

these water and wastewater services.

• The City is responsible for delivering water to

your tap through a network of pipes, which we

call our our water distribution system.

• The City is also responsible for transporting

wastewater from your homes through a network

of sewers to the Regional facilities where it is

treated and put back into our environment. We

call this our sanitary sewer collection system.


How do we use our AMP, WDMP and Rate Design Study?

Infrastructure Asset Management Plan for all Asset Groups

Master Plans, Strategic Plans or Long Term

Financial Plans for each Asset Group

1 to 4 Year Budgets

10 Year Capital Forecasts

Our Rate Design Study will consider all costs related to managing the water and wastewater

systems. These include annual operating costs and capital costs, including allocations for

future pipe replacement needs. The rates will be designed to recover the full costs of managing

these systems.

Our Water Distribution Master Plan (WDMP) will give us a plan to make sure our water system

will continue to provide excellent service to our community over the next 25 years. The WDMP

will show us what we need to do to our water infrastructure to 1) accommodate new growth in

the City that will happen over the next 25 years and 2) make sure we continue to provide

excellent service to our existing community.

Our Asset Management Plan (AMP) will provide us with a comprehensive

understanding of how much we need to spend on all of our infrastructure assets

and how we will pay for it. Our goal is to ensure the services that we provide

through our infrastructure assets can be sustained over the long term

The AMP, WDMP, and Rate Design Study are used to help us develop our 10 year capital

forecasts and our 1 to 4 year budgets.


How are we Developing our AMP?

Separate each asset group

into its different types of

infrastructure

Transportation

Roads Sidewalks Bridges

Decide how we are

measuring the performance

of each type of infrastructure.

Condition Function

Formalize what we do to

each type of infrastructure

over its lifecycle and how

much it costs.

Construct New

Regular Maintenance Replace

Refurbish

Establish the triggers for

when we do something to

the infrastructure.

Too small

Poor condition Not enough

Doesn’t work

Put the information into an analytical system that allows us

to understand the relationship between how much we

spend on the infrastructure and the performance measure.

Use the analytical system to establish 1) a performance

measure objective that we want to reach over the next 25

years for all types of infrastructure and 2) how much money

we need to spend to achieve the objective.

Everyone has a say to establish the performance measure

objective!

Staff

CouncilOur Community

Incorporate the outcomes of the analytical system

into our existing budget processes to prepare the

best plan to achieve the performance measure

objectives.

Debt Levels

Capital Investment Forecast Operating Budget

Reserve FundsTax Rates

Check how we are doing every year and

adjust our AMP accordingly.

Where are we now?

Infrastructure Type Condition Performance Measure Functional Performance Measure

Roads Percentage of trips taken on good, fair and poor quality

roads

Percentage of completed projects that are required to

make sure traffic congestion levels are acceptable

Facilities Percentage of facility systems in poor condition Number of facilities constructed/refurbished that are

required to meet the needs of community

Sanitary Sewers Percentage of customers with an increased likelihood of

experience a service disruption caused by a sewer

collapse

Percentage of customers with an increased likelihood of

experience a service disruption caused by a flooded

sewer during a rain event

Parks Percentage of playgrounds in good, fair and poor condition Number of parks that require additional amenities to meet

the needs of the community

What infrastructure assets are

included in our AMP?

• Transportation

• Sanitary Sewer Collection

• Water Distribution

• Storm Sewer Collection

• Stormwater Management

• Facilities

• Parks

• Forestry

• Parking

• Fleet

• Fire Services

• Furniture and Fixtures

• Information Technology

• Lands

Assembled all of the puzzle

pieces that we need to start

developing the analytical

system. The table below

shows how we are planning to

measure performance of some

key asset groups.

.

Working on the analytical

system.

What have we done? What are we doing now? What’s next?

Use the analytical system to help establish the

performance measure objectives for each type

of infrastructure.

Spring

Summer

Fall Submit an AMP to Council for consideration.

Prepare an Infrastructure Asset Management

Analysis Report with suggested scenarios to

incorporate into the AMP.


Why are we Doing the WDMP?

The Region has developed an Infrastructure Management Plan to Address

the Region’s Long Term Water Supply, Treatment, and Transmission

Needs.

An Evidence-Based Water System Infrastructure Management Plan is

Needed to Ensure the Long-term and Sustainability of the City’s Water

System.

The WDMP will Provide the Business Case for the Needs, Triggers, and

Cost of Servicing To Address Existing Priorities and Accommodate Growth.

The WDMP Will Provide the City with a Detailed Water Capital Program

vetted through the Comprehensive Municipal Engineers Association (MEA)

Class Environmental Assessment Process for Master Plans – Approach #1.

System Resiliency

Needs of Existing USers

Greenfield and Intensification

Servicing Impacts

Infrastructure Balance

Integration with Regional

Management Strategy (Region,

Kitchener, Wilmot,

Woolwich)

Appropriate and Supported Policy

Clear Communication

and Engagement

Streamlining System

Performance Needs with Long

Term Renewal Needs


WDMP - Vision Statement

We use a Vision Statement to guide how we think as we develop the

WDMP:

“To establish a master plan to achieve a cost effective water distribution system that:

• meets the needs of existing users, regulatory and legislative requirements;

• supports growth;

• considers system resiliency; and,

• optimizes the system performance objectives with the long term renewal needs

of the system.”


• The study follows the Master Plan process as outlined in Section A.2.7 of the

Municipal Engineers Association (MEA) Municipal Class Environmental Assessment

(Oct 2000, as amended in 2007 and 2011).

• The Master Plan will be filed under based on Approach 1 of the MEA Class Approach

for Master Planning, which involves a broad level of assessment, satisfying Phases

1 & 2 of the Class EA process.

• The WDMP will meet the planning requirements for Schedule A and A+ projects and

provide the basis for future investigations of identified Schedule B and C projects.
