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

TOR Requirement<br />

5. IRP process will use growth projections and system<br />

information and forecasts to plan for future<br />

growth related assets.<br />

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 />
