Fiscal Note
The proposed resolution amends the adopted 2022 Water Utility Capital Budget by authorizing an additional $500,000 of budget authority for the proposed Operational/Pressure Zone Resiliency Project (MUNIS 14004). This project consists of four distinct sub-projects intended to significantly increase operational flexibility across pressure zone boundaries strategically located throughout the water distribution system with a limited capital investment. Descriptions of the proposed projects are included in the resolution body below, with additional background information and scope information provided in the attached project scoping memo.
Project costs will be funded through existing revenue bonds. No increase in Water Utility debt obligations or new borrowing will be required for these projects. The 2022 Water Utility adopted Capital Budget will be amended to add an additional $500,000 of budget authority to MUNIS 14004. The $500,000 will support the following pressure zone resiliency projects:
· $200,000 - Well 12 Booster Upgrade and Pressure Zone 7-8 Transfer Vault
· $120,000 - Pressure Zone 6W-7 Pressure Control and Transfer Vault
· $100,000 - Pressure Zone 4-6E Pressure Control and Transfer Vault
· $80,000 - Pressure Zone 6E-6W Pressure Control and Transfer Vault
Title
Amending the 2022 Water Utility Capital Budget to include $500,000 of additional budget authority for four proposed Operational/Pressure Zone Resiliency Projects (citywide, various alder districts).
Body
WHEREAS, In the past, we have experienced a limited supply of water available to certain areas of our distribution system, especially during equipment failure events or maintenance-related facility shut-downs; and
WHEREAS, These vulnerable areas are generally located at the far ends of the system or along pressure zone boundaries, and because of pressure differentials, it can become difficult to get sufficient water to these areas, even if other zones of the system have excess s...
