•CITY OF SOUTH BEND I OFFICE OF THE CLERK
<br /> the City. It serves the entire City and its nested right in the center of the central pressure zone
<br /> where the majority of our water is treated. There are a lot of deferred maintenance projects that are
<br /> going to come online with this funding. There is$950,000 this year from Riverwest TIF, and there
<br /> will be $670,000 next year in Water Capital. So, we'll package that together. Actually, we are
<br /> going to do various projects for this. You see we've got come chlorine gas system, some filter
<br /> median projects we need to do, we are going to look at dehumidification and HVAC in the
<br /> building, we've got some electronics and PLC's, high-service pumps and we even have some
<br /> issues with external masonry here at the station. So,there is a wide variety of projects we are going
<br /> to tackle in various ways. It is very exciting, and it is a critical plant to the City, and it needs some
<br /> TLC.
<br /> She went on, Next year we will be bidding a project at Pinhook filtration, all of these obviously
<br /> • have to happen in a very optimized way. We can only really have one (1) plant down at a time in
<br /> order to make sure we have adequate supply to our customers. So Pinhook,we will be doing some
<br /> balance amidst all the different water plant projects that are happening. A lot of the projects that I
<br /> just mentioned,there are only a few that can be done without shutting the plant down,but anything
<br /> that deals with the chlorine system, we will obviously have to shut the plant down. Pinhook has
<br /> been around since 1961. A lot of its equipment is operating beyond its expected service lifetime.
<br /> We are going to replace some electronic actuator values. We are looking at filter underdrains, and
<br /> again, more electrical stuff. We also are looking at the air handling system, so the HVAC system,
<br /> the dehumidification, and then some building repairs. So, there is a lot happening here. We are
<br /> actually doing the building roof this year.This is kind of split,2019 and 2020. So,this is$2 million.
<br /> $630,000 is for a portion of that. Wait, no, that is Edison. They look alike, right?
<br /> She continued, Booster pump station improvements, again, this was a smaller budget item but
<br /> really needed work. We've got different minor repairs happening here at three (3) of our booster
<br /> pumps, Locust, Topsfield and Winterberry. Most of these are looking at some of the structural
<br /> conditions, different motors and pumps. In some of these stations,most of the time we are looking
<br /> at motors and pumps. Edison filtration, the sister to Pinhook, we are doing roof replacement there
<br /> this year. This is a full replacement of the exterior roof and it actually is the full replacement,
<br /> including the trust support system. And then we are also going to be doing the installation of a
<br /> ventilation system. We will be doing some fixtures and some doors as well. But, this is an
<br /> interesting project. They will have to build these trustids and we'll actually have them specially
<br /> coated to resist corrosion. So, they will be coated in another facility and then they will be brought
<br /> to the station for erection.Water meter replacements,this year there is$800,000 budgeted in Water
<br /> Capital. We have around 43,000 water meters in our system for all of our customers, and many of
<br /> these are past their shop life. When you have aging meters, that can contribute to measurement
<br /> errors and recording errors and then that, in turn, turns into revenue loss. This annual cost,
<br /> $800,000, is based on a fifteen(15) year replacement schedule.
<br /> She went on, Storm water this year, I'm going to show you two (2) different slides (referencing
<br /> the presentation). This first (1st) slide has $500,000 showing different types of projects, and then
<br /> another slide that would be the rest. But this is our first(1St)year of the storm water fee. We started
<br /> collecting fees in June of this year. We've been spending some of that money this year already.
<br /> This year we budgeted for$600,000 which was for the six(6)months of anticipated revenue. Next
<br /> year we are budgeting for a little over$800,000 in anticipated revenue, even though the projection
<br /> would be around $1.2 million. Since this will be the first(1St) full year of fees, part of that will go
<br /> to the reserve. So,we won't be budgeting the full $1.2 million. There will be a portion in reserves.
