Growth is one of the key IRP drivers. All three infrastructures will need to meet future growth<br />
demands. Specific growth related projects are listed in Objectives 13 and 14 of the IRP financial<br />
plan. Growth requirements for the water and wastewater system are detailed in Section 4.2.1<br />
and the stormwater system is detailed in Section 4.2.2.<br />
HRM provided a range of growth projections for use by the IRP project team. Based on the midrange<br />
those projections the following growth estimates were developed and applied to the IRP<br />
and the RWWFP:<br />
Residential growth to 2046 – 159,240 persons.<br />
Employment area growth to 2046 – 698.1 ha.<br />
The locations of planned growth are provided in Volume 1 Appendix D in the IRP maps.<br />
4.1.7 Resource Plans Development and Integration<br />
TOR Requirement<br />
1. IRP resource plans will be evaluated based on<br />
system safety and reliability requirements.<br />
2. IRP resource plans will be evaluated based on<br />
robustness of the plan (i.e. sensitivity of the plan<br />
to possible variations in the key assumptions).<br />
3. IRP resource plans will be evaluated based on plan<br />
resilience (i.e. degree to which the selection of the<br />
preferred plan constrains <strong>Halifax</strong> Water’s future<br />
planning options).<br />

IRP Objective 9 addresses the need to enhance reliability of critical water and wastewater<br />
assets. Timeframe to implement the water and wastewater system security program is based<br />
on <strong>Halifax</strong> Water’s Five Year Capital Plan.<br />
An asset component-by-component risk analysis was conducted to determine the optimal<br />
levels of asset renewal for each component. This was the second stage of the asset renewal<br />
program analysis and was undertaken for the intermediate plans creating a single optimized<br />
component asset renewal strategy. Volume 1 Appendix F presents the results of the water,<br />
wastewater and stormwater asset risk analysis.<br />
