Notes:
1. Due to data limitations linear infrastructure lengths are estimated (see Unit Cost Summaries - Volume 3
Appendix C and Data Collection/Gaps - Volume 3 Appendix D).
2. Based on costing procedures presented in Halifax Water Integrated Resource Plan, Volume 3 Appendix C.
3. Replacement cost for stormwater pond inlet/outlet structures.
If all the infrastructure systems required replacement today the cost would exceed $6.6
billion exclusive of land and rights-of-way.
