example, it has been estimated that the average cost per gallon of CSO avoided <br />ranges between $1 to $2 per gallon. <br />Examples of products that would help manage storm water include porous <br />pavement systems. Although the upfront costs associated with these systems <br />are higher than those of traditional products (i.e.: $2.50 /sq. ft. of asphalt vs. <br />$4.50 - $5.00 /sq. ft. for modular porous pavers); if these products can reduce <br />the need for the conventional storage systems, there could be considerable <br />savings for our rate payers by reimagining our strategy for this project. <br />In a resolution put forth by the U.S. Conference of Mayors in 2006 it was said, <br />"Green infrastructure naturally manages storm water, reduces flooding risk <br />and improves air and water quality thus performing many of the same <br />functions as traditionally built infrastructure, often at a fraction of the cost." <br />We look forward to working together to identify the best solution for our <br />residents and rate payers. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />Valerie Schey <br />South Bend City Council, hard District Representative <br />2014 <br />'4 <br />2 <br />
