I/I Pilot Program Outline<br />
Implement I/I Solutions<br />
Task Description/Activities<br />
• Begin baseline monitoring<br />
• Implement simple operations solutions first (plug manhole covers, replace covers<br />
with lock-tight covers, minor spot repairs, etc.)<br />
• Implement specific solutions from previous studies<br />
• Implement private side solutions<br />
• Measure changes in flow after each solution is implemented<br />
• Track implementation costs<br />
Evaluate Effectiveness of Pilot<br />
• Identify all variables for each pilot area (slopes, soils, existing conditions, known<br />
illegal connections, etc.)<br />
• Identify criteria to be used to evaluate effectiveness of the potential solutions<br />
• Incrementally implement and measure the impact of the agreed I/I techniques for<br />
each pilot sewershed<br />
• Assess how each successful I/I solution may be relevant to other sewersheds in the<br />
service area<br />
• Using the hydraulic model, plug in observed I/I reductions for the relevant<br />
sewersheds and predict the savings system-wide<br />
• Evaluate the impact of each solution in terms of m 3 /reduced and cost to achieve the<br />
reduction<br />
Reporting<br />
• Report on findings/results of the pilot program with regular updates<br />
• Use performance data to support future implementations of specific I/I techniques in<br />
other sewersheds (dollars spent, reduction in flows realized, recommendations for<br />
future implementations)<br />

The success of the pilot program will require appropriate operational and capital<br />
funding for the pilot including the necessary flow monitoring, calibration and data<br />
management needs. As well, dedicated resources should be provided for this effort<br />
including the public side program, the private side program and operational resources<br />
for implementing operations-related repair work.<br />
A total of $1.7 million has been budgeted for I/I pilot program development. Additional<br />
funding will be needed for solutions implementation.<br />
2.3 TRANSMISSION MAIN CAPACITY AND SECURITY<br />
<strong>Halifax</strong> Water is currently developing a long-term plan to expand and upgrade the trunk<br />
water transmission main system across the urban core to meet the demands of a<br />
growing population, to enhance overall system security, and to strengthen the capacity<br />
of the system to provide water under emergency conditions between the J.D. Kline<br />
system and the Lake Major system.<br />
