4.1.2 Supply-Side Options<br />

TOR Requirement<br />

1. IRP process will identify appropriate and practical<br />

supply-side options that may include methods and<br />

technologies to reduce water production <strong>volume</strong>s,<br />

wastewater overflows, manage flood levels,<br />

strengthen standards for system expansion, and<br />

manage power consumption.<br />

2. IRP process will identify regulatory constraints,<br />

environmental impacts, and both capital and<br />

operating costs associated with each set of supplyside<br />

options.<br />

Sections 3 and 5 as well as Volume 1 Appendix F, Volume 3 Appendices A, B and C and the<br />

RWWFP present the analysis of supply-side options and costs. The financial model for the<br />

Recommended Plan is presented in Volume 1 Appendix H. It provides both capital and new<br />

O&M costs for the supply-side options.<br />
