<strong>Halifax</strong> Water Integrated Resource Plan<br />

IRP Implementation Plan<br />

require at least 2 to 3 years to have adequate data and systems in place to obtain strong<br />

returns from scaled-up asset renewal expenditures.<br />

The three-year outlook will be in large measure determined by funding availability. It<br />

expected that the <strong>Halifax</strong> Water capital planning process would determine the<br />

project/program priorities once funding levels have been established.<br />

Other considerations with the first three years of the Recommended IRP include:<br />

• Total program (i.e. planning, business systems improvements and improvements to<br />

administrative facilities) related expenditures correspond to about 8% of the overall<br />

three-year Recommended IRP expenditures. A significant fraction of this program<br />

cost is associated with improvements to the Cowie Hill Operations Facility.<br />

• Additional O&M costs associated with treatment facility or pumping upgrades or<br />

expansions are relatively small in this period corresponding to about 1% of<br />

expenditures.<br />

Details of all expenditures are presented in the Recommended IRP Financial Model in<br />

Notes:<br />

1. Enterprise Programs refers to <strong>Halifax</strong> Water wide programs such as the SCADA Master Plan, the AMA Program<br />

and the IRP among others.<br />

Under the Recommended IRP, proposed expenditures would be over $989 million in the<br />

7-year period. Approximately $628 million of the total in the Recommended IRP budget<br />

is associated with major wastewater facility upgrades including the $183 million LOT<br />

upgrades at the 8 WWTFs plus BLT ($18.9 million) and implementation of a number of<br />

RWWFP projects. The 7-year water infrastructure budget is $242 million. Major projects<br />

include water transmission upgrades for capacity and system security enhancement,<br />
