ENGINEER'S REPORT - JUSTIFICATION AND COST
ALLOCATION FOR PROPOSED WASTEWATER COLLECTION
SYSTEM AND TREATMENT PLANT IMPROVEMENTS
1.0 INTRODUCTION
The purpose of the Engineer's Report is to provide the basis for establishing wastewater
sewer service charges and connection fees to fund the wastewater Capital Improvement
Program (CIP). This report lists project costs, describes project phasing, and explains the
methodologies used to allocate costs to different categories of customers.
The wastewater CIP was developed from the draft 2016 Wastewater Master Plan currently
in progress. This plan identified deficiencies and capacity needs for the wastewater
treatment system and collection system (sewers) from now until the year 2035. These
needs were based on projected growth and land use patterns for the City's current service
area and unserved areas that extend to the sphere of influence (SOI) boundaries.
The CIP includes improvements in the following areas:
• Collection System Improvements, including:

– Pipeline replacement/addition to provide hydraulic capacity for peak wet
weather flows (PWWFs).
– New sewers or extensions of sewers to serve future customers.
– Rehabilitation and replacement improvements.
– Upgrades to improve reliability.
– Removal of storm drain cross connections.
• Sutter Avenue Primary Treatment Plant (Sutter Plant) improvements to improve

treatment reliability and increase capacity.
• Outfall Pipelines to improve reliability and increase capacity.
• Jennings Road Secondary/Tertiary Treatment Plant (Jennings Plant) improvements to

improve reliability and increase capacity.
2.0 SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDED COST ALLOCATIONS

Estimated costs and recommended cost allocations to customers are summarized in
Table 1.
January 2016 - FINAL 1

3.0 COLLECTION SYSTEM SERVICE AREA AND PROJECTED
WASTEWATER CONTRIBUTIONS
3.1 Study Area and Population Projections
The study area for this report includes current city limits, a portion of north Ceres, the
unincorporated community of Empire, and isolated unincorporated Stanislaus County land
("islands") within city limits. For north Ceres and unincorporated areas, the City treats
wastewater under separate sewer service agreements. The study area (shown in Figure 1)
encompasses the City's SOI boundary, Empire, and north Ceres, which is consistent with
the City's updated Urban Area General Plan.
The City provides wastewater (sewer) service for over 200,000 customers within city limits
and approximately 900 customers within the Empire Sanitary District. Population and land
use projections prepared for the Master Plan indicate that areas extending to the SOI
boundaries will be only partially developed by the end of 2035. In fact, full build-out of the
SOI is not expected until the year 2057. By 2035, the number of municipal customers is
projected to increase at an average growth rate of 1.3 percent to a total service population
of 270,900.
In addition to municipal customers, the City serves industries in the Beard Industrial Park.
These industries include seasonal canneries and year-round food processors. The City's
conveyance and treatment systems will be modified to accommodate these flows
separately from the domestic wastewater treatment systems. To do this, process water
leaving the industries, known locally as "Can Seg" flow, will flow directly to the Jennings
Plant by separate piping. At the Jennings Plant, Can Seg flow will either be used to irrigate
ranch land or will be treated with the upgraded secondary treatment facilities. This will
depend on the season or the current conditions.
3.2 Existing Wastewater Facilities
The City’s wastewater collection system consists of approximately 620 miles of sanitary
sewer lines, ranging from 4 inches to 66 inches in diameter, and 41 lift stations. Another 32
miles of sewers that are either privately owned or associated with north Ceres are
connected to the City's collection system.
With the exception of localized septic systems, all wastewater generated within the service
area receives treatment at the City’s treatment facilities. These facilities consist of two
treatment plants that operate in series and are connected by two 6.5-mile long outfall
pipelines (see Figure 2).
The Sutter Plant is located at the south end of Sutter Avenue adjacent to the Tuolumne
River. There, the plant provides primary treatment and solids handling. Most of the primary

treatment and solids handling facilities are old and nearing the ends of their useful lives.
The Sutter Plant’s location near the Tuolumne River also creates a flood risk.
Primary effluent from the Sutter Plant flows through the two 6.5-mile long outfall pipelines to
the Jennings Plant, which is located next to the San Joaquin River (SJR) on Jennings Road
near the intersection with West Zeering Road. The Jennings Plant treatment processes
include secondary treatment, tertiary treatment, and a 2,526-acre ranch irrigated with
secondary effluent during the irrigation season and Can Seg flows during the canning
season. During the non-irrigation season, secondary effluent is either stored in the City's
two storage ponds or discharged to the SJR from October to May. Tertiary effluent is used
in the same manner. Although this is the current practice, the City will implement an offsite
tertiary recycled water project by early 2018 that will utilize all tertiary flows.
3.3 Wastewater Flow Categories
Wastewater from the Modesto service area comes from two main sources: domestic flows
and Can Seg flows.
3.3.1 Domestic Flows
Domestic wastewater consists of the following categories:

• Domestic sources (residential and commercial).
• Minor industrial sources, which consist of 26 industries with a total combined flow
averaging about 0.7 million gallons per day (mgd) (2013–2014 average).
• Major non-Can Seg industrial sources, which consist of 12 industries with a total
combined flow averaging 1.5 mgd (2012–2014 average).
Flows from the minor industries have characteristics similar to domestic wastewater from
residents, whereas major industrial flows have higher concentrations of organic constituents
than typical domestic flows. Nonetheless, for this report, flows from minor industries, major
industries, and residential sources will be collectively referred to as "domestic" flows.
Projected domestic flows and loadings are summarized in Table 2.
3.3.2 Can Seg Flows
Can Seg flows consist of process water from canneries and food processors. The Can Seg
Line (CSL) conveys these flows separately to ranch land at the Jennings Plant, where they
are combined with secondary effluent and used for irrigation. During the non-canning
season, process flows from year-round food processors are combined with the influent
wastewater at the Sutter Plant and treated with domestic flows. However, as previously
mentioned, after improvements are made to the secondary treatment system at the
Jennings Plant, this practice will be discontinued and Can Seg flows will be processed
solely at the Jennings Plant.

scheduled to be completed at the end of 2019.

4.0 JUSTIFICATION FOR COLLECTION SYSTEM
IMPROVEMENTS
The 2016 Master Plan has identified necessary wastewater collection system
improvements over the next 20 years to the year 2035. These improvements are
categorized below.
• Capacity Improvements: Capacity improvements include either replacing existing

trunk sewers or pump stations or adding new trunk sewers or pump stations to
adequately convey current PWWFs. As growth continues and more users contribute
to the system, flow will increase. This will, in some cases, create additional capacity
deficiencies. Therefore, the existing collection system was also evaluated to identify
flow capacity deficiencies during peak flow conditions at build-out of the service area.
Projects identified for these conditions are considered capacity related and are not
considered an expansion of the system to connect future users.
• New Growth Improvements: These include new pump stations and/or extensions of
existing trunk sewers to serve new customers.
• Rehabilitation and Replacement (R&R) Improvements: These include

improvements to the existing trunk sewers or pump stations to extend their useful
lives, repair structural deficiencies, and/or improve performance for adequate capacity
throughout the planning period.
• Reliability Improvements: These include adding parallel sewers where existing

sewers cross below major obstacles and prevent access. The sewer crossing below
Highway 99 is an example of this.
• Storm Drain Cross Connection Removal: Currently, the City has 60 known storm
drain cross connection where storm water runoff discharges to the sanitary sewer
system. On the basis of discussions with the City, Carollo developed the hydraulic
model, capacity evaluation, and proposed improvements assuming these connections
will be removed in the future.
Justifications for capital improvement projects for the wastewater collection system are
provided in the following sections. The recommended collection system projects are shown
on Figure 3 and listed in Appendix A. Table 4 summarizes the cost for each project
category, which is then described in the following sections.
The estimated costs are in 2015 dollars and are referenced to the 20-City Average
Engineering News Record Construction Cost Index (ENR CCI) of 10037 (July 2015).
Construction costs include a 25 percent estimating contingency. Project costs include
construction costs and a 30 percent allowance for engineering, legal, and administration
costs.

Capacity Improvements $103.6
New Growth Improvements $35.4

Total $217.7
Note:
(1) Total project costs are presented in millions of dollars and rounded to the nearest hundred
thousand. Costs are provided as present value based on an ENR CCI number of 10037
corresponding to the 20-City Average Index in July 2015. Costs are not escalated to future
years. Total project costs include an allowance for contingencies, engineering, legal, and
administration costs.
4.1.1 Capacity Improvement Projects
4.1.1.1 Assumptions and Criteria
According to the design criteria established in the Master Plan, gravity sewers must be able
to convey PWWFs while maintaining a maximum flow depth to pipe diameter (d/D) ratio of
0.85. In other words, the sewers should not be more than 85 percent full during PWWF
conditions. The collection system lift stations must also be able to reliably pump PWWF.
This means that pump station capacity should meet the standards of "firm capacity," which
is the pumping capacity with the largest pump out of service.
The hydraulic model developed for the Master Plan simulated peak flows during a 10-year,
24-hour storm. This model identified both pipeline sections that exceeded the maximum
allowable d/D criteria of 0.85 as well as lift stations that lacked sufficient firm capacity.
4.1.1.2 Improvements for Current PWWF Conditions
The following sections summarize recommended improvements to accommodate PWWFs

under current conditions. For each tributary area’s designated area number, refer to
Figure 3.
4.1.1.2.1 Area 1
• Hahn Lift Station (Project LS 19): Improvements to this lift station are currently
under design to increase the firm capacity from 0.65 mgd to 1.3 mgd. The two
existing pumps will be replaced with two 900-gpm pumps. In addition, the station will
be relocated from the southwest corner of Nightingale Drive and Honey Creek Road
to the southeast corner.

• Rumble Lift Station (Project LS 30): The Rumble Lift Station is located on Rumble
Road near Bay Lane. The two existing 950-gpm pumps will be replaced with larger
pumps to increase the pumping capacity from 1.37 mgd to 2.33 mgd.
4.1.1.2.2 Area 3
Major projects recommended for Area 3 include the River Trunk Realignment and the River
Trunk Pump Station. In 2015, the City completed a Preliminary Design Report (PDR) for
improvements to bypass the capacity constraints in the River Trunk and eliminate the
inverted siphons at the Dry Creek crossing near the Gallo property. These projects will
consist of a new alignment for the gravity flow section of the River Trunk and a new River
Trunk pump station.
The projects in Area 3 are described below.
• 48-inch Gravity Sewer along Tuolumne Blvd (Project RT-1): This project consists
of 2,300 feet of 48-inch diameter gravity sewer in Tuolumne Boulevard between
Neece Drive and Colorado Avenue. This segment will convey flow from the River
Trunk Pump Station force mains to a new 54-inch gravity diameter sewer along
Colorado Avenue.
• 54-inch Gravity Sewer along Colorado Ave (Project RT-2): The pipeline will be
located in Colorado Boulevard between Tuolumne Boulevard and Pelton Avenue.
Flows from the River Trunk and Sutter Trunk will combine at the intersection of
Tuolumne and Colorado and continue south to the Sutter Plant. The total length of
the sewer will be 4,000 feet.
• Gravity Sewer along Colorado Ave to Sutter Plant (Project RT-3): This project
adds a gravity sewer ranging from 60 inches to 84 inches in diameter. The sewer will
extend 3,300 feet south along Colorado Avenue and terminate at the Sutter Plant. It
will convey flows from the River Trunk, Sutter Trunk, and Shakelford Pump Station.
• 21-inch Gravity Sewer along Tuolumne Blvd (Project RT-4): This project will
relieve PWWFs from the Sutter Trunk to the River Trunk. It consists of 1,300 feet of
21-inch diameter pipeline in Tuolumne Boulevard that will connect to the new River
Trunk at Colorado Boulevard.
• Dual Force Mains along Tuolumne Blvd (Project RT-5): This project adds new
parallel 30-inch and 42-inch diameter force mains that will convey flow pumped from
the River Trunk Pump Station to a discharge structure in Tuolumne Boulevard. At the
structure, flow will transition from pumped flow to gravity flow. The two new force
mains will be 2,600 feet long.
• Beard Brook North Gravity Alignment (Project RT-6): This project will replace the
existing Beard Brook Siphon with a 48-inch diameter gravity pipeline. The new

pipeline will run from west of Beard Brook Park to the River Trunk Pump Station and
will cover a distance of 3,900 feet. This project will eliminate the need for an inverted
siphon under Dry Creek and address maintenance and odor issues associated with
the siphon.
• 36-inch and 48-inch Gravity Sewer from B St to Pumping Station (Project RT-7):
This project adds 36-inch and 48-inch gravity sewers that will run from Calaveras
Street to the inlet of the River Trunk Pump Station. They will cover a distance of 1,500
feet.
• 14-inch Shackelford Force Main and 18-inch Gravity Sewer (Project RT-8): This
project adds a 14-inch diameter force main that will convey flows from the new
Shackelford pump station beneath the Tuolumne River. The new force main will be
inserted in a recently completed inverted siphon under the Tuolumne River. Beyond
the crossing, the force main will continue north through the Dryden Park Golf Course
and terminate at an 18-inch diameter gravity pipeline in Roselawn Avenue. Flows will
be conveyed to the River Trunk at Colorado and Pelton.
• Shackelford Pump Station: This pump station will pump flows through a new force
main under the Tuolumne River and discharge into the River Trunk. It will be
expanded to provide a firm capacity of 4.2 mgd.
• River Trunk Pump Station: This pump station will allow the River Trunk to be moved
from the Tuolumne River bank, which is susceptible to erosion and flooding during
high river flows. The pump station’s pumping capacity will be 54.5 mgd.
4.1.1.2.3 Area 4
• Downtown Trunk (Project DT-1): Flow levels in the 12-inch trunk sewer in J Street
cause the pipeline to surcharge, meaning the flow exceeds the crown of the pipe.
Therefore, the pipeline will be replaced with a new 15-inch diameter pipeline
extending approximately 2,400 feet from McHenry Avenue to 12th Street.
• Downtown Trunk (Project DT-2): PWWFs in the existing 10-inch diameter pipelines
in Kimble Street and Floto Street result in a d/D of 0.90, which exceeds the maximum
d/D criteria of 0.85. These pipelines will be replaced with approximately 1,000 feet of
12-inch diameter pipeline.
4.1.1.2.4 Area 5
• Santa Rosa Trunk (Project SR-4): The flow level in the existing 10-inch diameter
pipelines in Coffee Road between Fairmont Avenue and Lucern Avenue exceeds the
maximum d/D criteria under PWWF conditions, which causes the pipeline to
surcharge above the crown. Accordingly, the pipeline will be replaced with 1,600 feet
of new 15-inch diameter pipeline.

• Rose and Celeste Lift Station (Project LS 29): The existing Rose and Celeste Lift
Station is located on Rose Avenue and Celeste Drive. This project will increase the
firm capacity from 0.86 mgd to 1.3 mgd to accommodate PWWFs.
4.1.1.2.5 Area 6
• Empire Trunk (Project EM-3): This project will replace the existing 10-inch diameter
pipeline in Hoover Avenue and Doherty Avenue with approximately 1,800 feet of 12-
inch diameter pipeline. This improvement is required because the flow level under
PWWF conditions is at 95 percent full, which exceeds the design d/D.
• Empire Trunk (Project EM-4): The flow level in the 15-inch diameter trunk in Benson
Avenue between Monterey Avenue and Oregon Drive reaches 93 percent capacity
under PWWF conditions. The existing pipeline will be replaced with 1,400 feet of 18-
inch diameter pipeline.
• Benson Lift Station (Project LS 03): The existing Benson Lift Station is located on
Benson Avenue between Hillside Drive and Trenary Way. This project will increase
the firm capacity from 0.22 mgd to 1.3 mgd to provide reliable capacity for current and
future PWWFs.
4.1.1.3 Improvements for Future PWWF Conditions
The following sections summarize recommended improvements to accommodate PWWFs

at build-out of the service area.
4.1.1.3.1 Area 1
• West Trunk (Project W-1): At build-out of Area 1, the increased flow from new
growth and infill will cause flow levels in the lower reach of the West Trunk to exceed
the maximum depth criteria. The deficient pipelines extend 5,300 feet and range from
54 inches to 60 inches in diameter. To increase capacity within this reach, a new
parallel 48-inch diameter pipeline will be added, extending 5,200 feet from Carpenter
Road to Sutter Plant. The project will not be required until Area 1 is built-out.
• West Trunk (Project W-2): Future PWWFs in the 18-inch diameter trunk in Veneman
Avenue, located between Hahn Drive and Dale Road, will exceed the maximum
depth criteria. To mitigate the deficiency, the pipeline will be replaced with 650 feet of
21-inch diameter pipeline.
• Woodland Lift Station (Project LS 39): The firm capacity of the Woodland Lift
Station, located near the Woodland Avenue and Poust Road intersection, lacks
sufficient capacity for the PWWFs at build out. Accordingly, its firm capacity will be
expanded from 20.9 mgd to 25.2 mgd.

• Rumble Trunk (Project R-1): The flow depth in the Rumble Trunk from Rumble
Road to Maud Kump Terrace will exceed the maximum depth criteria at build-out.
Currently, this project is in the planning phase and will replace 4,200 feet of existing
21-inch diameter pipeline from Claremont Avenue to Don Caster Lane with 5,100 feet
of 24-inch diameter pipeline. A portion of the existing pipeline alignment is in an alley
and will be abandoned. The new alignment will continue north to Barringham Lane
and connect to the existing system in Don Caster Lane.
4.1.1.3.2 Area 3
• Sutter Trunk (Project S-1): The existing 16-inch diameter trunk in Jefferson Avenue
between Maze Boulevard and Oak Street will exceed the maximum depth criteria.
This project will replace the existing pipeline with 760 feet of 18-inch diameter
pipeline.
4.1.1.3.3 Area 10
• Ustick Trunk (Project U-1): New growth in Area 10 will cause the Ustick Trunk to
surcharge. The 12-inch diameter pipeline, extending from Whitmore Avenue to
Imperial Avenue, will be replaced with 2,100 feet of 15-inch diameter pipeline.
4.1.2 New Growth Improvement Projects
The projects described below are required to extend existing trunk sewers and/or add new
pump stations to serve new customers.
4.1.2.1 Area 1
• West Trunk (Projects W-3 through W-5 and Dakota Avenue LS 64): These
projects are recommended to serve future growth within the Beckwith-Dakota and
College West comprehensive planning districts (CPDs). In this area, a new lift station
and force main will be required. The force main will convey flow from the lift station to
the existing West Trunk on the west side of Highway. The project consists of the
following segments:
– Project W-3 consists of 4,000 feet of 15-inch diameter pipeline from North
Avenue to McDonald Avenue, which is where the pipeline will connect to the
West Trunk.
– Project W-4 consists of 9,000 feet of 6-inch diameter force main to connect LS
64 to Project W-3. The force main will be aligned down Dakota Avenue and
North Avenue.
– Project W-5 consists of 1,200 feet of 12-inch diameter pipeline in Dakota
Avenue to LS 64. LS 64 will have a firm capacity of 0.5 mgd.
• West Trunk (Projects W-6 and Kansas Avenue LS 63): These improvements will
service future growth within the Highway 132 CPD. Project W-6 consists of a 4,300-ft

long, 15-inch diameter pipeline that will connect to the West Trunk. Lift Station 63 will
convey future flows from the Highway 132 CPD and will have a firm capacity of 1.0
mgd.
• West Trunk (Project W-7): This project consists of 2,900 feet of 10-inch diameter
pipeline in Carpenter Road and Paradise Road. The project will extend the area
served by the West Trunk to include existing county islands in the City’s southwest
section.
• Rumble Trunk (Project R-2): This sewer trunk extension will provide service to
future development in the Pelandale/McHenry CPD. This project extends the sub
trunk on McHenry Avenue 900 feet with a 10-inch diameter pipeline from Grecian
Avenue to the existing sewer at the intersection of McHenry and Coralwood Road.
• Dale Trunk (Projects D-1 through D-5 and Chapman Road LS 60): These projects
will service future growth within the Kiernan-Carver and Kiernan-Carver North CPDs,
which was previously discussed in the 2007 Master Plan as a separate study (Kaiser
Hospital Special Study, August 2004). It has since been incorporated into the current
Master Plan, except that the pipeline diameter recommended in the 2007 Master Plan
has been reduced due to lower projected flows. Improvements to the Dale Trunk will
consist of a lift station, force main, and gravity pipelines. The project consists of the
following segments:
– Segment D-1 is located in undeveloped land west of Kaiser Permanente and
consists of 1,200 feet of 15-inch diameter pipeline.
– Segment D-2 continues across undeveloped land between Chapman Road and
Quinturn Lane. This segment will consist of 2,600 feet of 6-inch diameter force
main.
– Segment D-3 consists of 1,700 feet of 12-inch diameter pipeline in Chapman
Road between Kiernan Avenue and a Modesto Irrigation District (MID) Canal.
– Segment D-4 consists of 2,200 feet of 10-inch diameter pipeline in Chapman
Road from Kiernan Avenue to south of Pirrone Road.
– Segment D-5 runs parallel to an MID canal and is currently in undeveloped
space. This reach will consist of 1,500 feet of 8-inch diameter pipeline.
– The Chapman Road Lift Station (LS 60) will have a firm capacity of 0.80 mgd to
convey flows from the Kiernan/Carver and Kiernan/Carver North CPDs.
• North Trunk (Projects N-1 through N-5): Future development within the
Kiernan/Carver, Kiernan/McHenry, Pelandale/McHenry, and Hetch Hetchy CPDs will
require the construction of several trunk sewers to serve customers in the northern
portion of the study area. The North Trunk is a tributary of the West Trunk.
The 2007 Master Plan proposed the construction of a large trunk sewer in Bangs
Avenue from Carver Road to east of Coffee Road, which is shown in Figure 6.4. For

the current Master Plan, this alignment was not changed, but the pipeline diameters
were decreased due to reduced estimated future flows. The proposed improvements
will extend the North Trunk into the Hetch Hetchy CPD. The North Trunk project
consists of the following segments:
– Segment N-1 consists of 2,800 feet of 27-inch diameter pipeline in Bangs
Avenue between Tully Road and Carver Road.
– Segment N-2 consists of 6,100 feet of 24-inch diameter pipeline along Bangs
Avenue from McHenry Avenue to Tully Road.
– Segment N-3 continues across undeveloped land from an MID canal to
McHenry Road. This reach will consist of 1,600 feet of 21-inch diameter
pipeline.
– Segment N-4 consists of 3,100 feet of 18-inch diameter pipeline in undeveloped
land from Coffee Road to an MID Canal.
– Segment N-5 consists of 2,400 feet of 15-inch diameter pipeline in undeveloped
land from east of Oakdale Road to Coffee Road.
• North Trunk (Project N-6 and Pelandale LS 59): This project is recommended
under the Pelandale/McHenry Specific Plan (Final, June 2006), which identified
facilities needed to service future growth within the Pelandale/McHenry CPD. The
project includes a lift station and a 10-inch trunk within Pelandale Avenue and Tully
Road. This lift station will pump flow under the MID Lateral Canal No. 6 and will have
a firm capacity of 0.14 mgd. The 10-inch diameter pipeline will extend approximately
4,800 feet and connect to the existing sewer in Bangs Avenue.
• North Trunk (Projects N-7 through N-9 and Kiernan LS 65): Future development
within the Kiernan/Carver North CPD will require the construction of several trunk
sewers and a lift station to serve future users. This project is separated into the
following segments:
– Segment N-7 consists of 2,600 feet of 15-inch diameter pipeline located in
American Avenue between Kiernan Avenue and Bangs Avenue.
– Segment N-8 consists 5,600 feet of 10-inch diameter pipeline along Kiernan
Road from American Avenue to Carver Road.
– Segment N-9 continues in Kiernan Avenue between Carver Road and Stratos
Way and consists of 6,300 feet of 8-inch diameter pipeline.
– The Kiernan Avenue Lift Station (LS 65) will have a firm capacity of 0.24 mgd to
convey PWWF from the Kiernan/Carver North CPD.
4.1.2.2 Area 6
• Sonoma Trunk Extension (Projects SO-1 through SO-4 and Wood Sorrel LS 61):
These improvements have incorporated and modified future recommendations from
the 2007 Master Plan to extend the Sonoma Trunk to the Roselle-Claribel CPD.

This project will extend the Sonoma Trunk to service future growth. The following
segments are included:
– Segment SO-1 consists of 3,300 feet of 24-inch diameter pipeline that connects
to an existing 27-inch diameter trunk. The proposed trunk will continue west in
Sylvan Avenue and then north along an unimproved road.
– Segment SO-2 is an 18-inch diameter pipeline that extends 2,600 feet from
Segment SO-1 to an area north of Mabel Avenue.
– Segment SO-3 consists of 2,800 feet of 15-inch diameter pipeline that extends
from Segment SO-2 to an area south of Claribel Road.
– Segment SO-4 consists of 3,100 feet of 8-inch diameter pipeline that will
convey flows from the southwest area of the Rose Claribel CPD. The 8-inch
diameter pipeline will extend north from an existing 27-inch diameter sewer in
Wood Sorrel Drive.
– The Wood Sorrel Drive Lift Station (LS 61) will have a firm capacity of 0.07
mgd.
• Lakewood Trunk Extension (Projects L-1 through L-4 and LS 67): Currently, the
existing trunk is stubbed and plugged at the intersection of Litt Road and Sylvan
Avenue. The Lakewood Trunk extension will service the eastern half of the Roselle-
Claribel CPD. This project consists of the following segments:
– Segment L-1 is located in Litt Road and extends from the end of Lakewood
Trunk at Sylvan Avenue. This reach will consist of 2,900 feet of 18-inch
diameter pipeline.
– Segment L-2 continues in Litt Road and consists of 1,700 feet of 15-inch
diameter pipeline.
– Segment L-3 consists of 800 feet of 12-inch diameter pipeline that begins in
Plainview Road and runs in Litt Road.
– Segment L-4 consists of a 10-inch diameter pipeline that extends 3,000 feet
from south of Claribel Road to Plainview Road.
– The Litt Road Lift Station (LS 67) will have a firm capacity of 0.64 mgd.
• Lakewood Sub-trunks (projects L-5 and L-6): This group of improvements will
service business, commercial, and residential growth to the east within the Village
One CPD. Project L-5 will extend from an existing 15-inch diameter pipeline, located
at the intersection of Ruffed Goose Lane and Crested Bobwhite Street, within the
Falling Leaf Subdivision. The existing pipeline will extend east beyond the
development and will stub in an undeveloped area. A proposed 8-inch diameter
pipeline will extend 220 feet and terminate in Claus Road. Project L-6 is a 10-inch
diameter pipeline that will extend the existing subtrunk in Merle Avenue to serve
future growth.

4.1.2.3 Area 10
• Ustick Sub-Trunks and Lift Station (Projects U-2 through U-4 and LS 62): This
group of improvements will service commercial and residential growth within the
Fairview CPD. This project consists of three segments and a lift station, which are
described below:
– Segment U-2 consists of 3,400 feet of 10-inch diameter pipeline in Whitmore
Avenue from Tuscan Avenue to Ustick Road.
– Segment U-3 consists of 400 feet of 4-inch force main in Whitmore Avenue
from Yuma Avenue to west of Tuscan Avenue. The force main will allow the
proposed 10-inch diameter sewer (Segment U-2) to connect with the existing
pipeline in Ustick Road.
– Segment U-4 continues in Whitmore Avenue and extends from Carpenter Road
to the proposed lift station near Yuma Avenue. This reach consists of 3,400 feet
of 10-inch diameter pipeline.
– The lift station at Whitmore and Carpenter Lift Station (LS 62) will have a firm
capacity of 0.4 mgd.
4.1.3 Rehabilitation and Replacement Improvement Projects
It is recommended that the City rehabilitate existing trunk sewers and lift stations to extend
the lives of these facilities for existing and future users and to improve operational reliability.
These projects are described below.
• Rehabilitation and Replacement (R&R) Program: The City will implement an R&R
program either to replace sewer pipelines susceptible to failure or to line corroded
pipelines. This program will target small diameter pipelines and large diameter sewer
mains throughout the City. Funding will be at a rate of $3.0 million per year for the first
five years and will decrease to $1.67 million per year thereafter.
• Sutter Trunk (Project S-4b): This project will rehabilitate 400 feet of the existing 16-
inch diameter pipeline under Highway 99 near Jefferson Street. Prior to implementing
this project, a permanent parallel sewer (Project S-4a) will be constructed as a
bypass.
4.1.3.1 Area 3
• 24-inch Rehabilitation along Sutter Trunk (Project RT-9): Based on the results of
the condition assessment, a portion of the Sutter Trunk will require rehabilitation
directly upstream of the Sutter Plant. The recommended approach is to add cured-in-
place pipe lining. Since much of the pipeline’s interior is inaccessible for a condition
assessment, it is assumed that half of the pipeline’s length will be lined.

• 48-inch River Trunk Rehabilitation (Project RT-10): Excessive corrosion is present
in the entire reach of the River Trunk from Beard Brook to the Sutter Plant. For this
reason, rehabilitation is recommended within the next five years.
4.1.3.2 Area 5
• Santa Rosa Trunk (Project SR-1): This project will rehabilitate 1,300 feet of the 30-
inch diameter and 400 feet of the 24-inch diameter pipeline within Santa Rosa
Avenue between Organ Drive and Mono Drive.
• Santa Rosa Trunk (Project SR-6): This segment of the Santa Rosa Trunk in Miller
Road between Conejo Avenue and Phoenix Avenue is over 50 years old and shows
signs of significant deterioration. This project will rehabilitate 1,000 feet of the 18-inch
diameter pipeline.
4.1.4 Reliability Improvement Projects
It is recommended that the City construct parallel pipelines where the collection system
crosses Highway 99. This would increase reliability and allow the existing pipeline to be
rehabilitated without disrupting service. These projects are described below.
4.1.4.1 Area 2
• Sutter Trunk (Project S-4a): This project will construct a parallel pipeline under
Highway 99 near Jefferson Street. The parallel sewer line will consist of 400 feet of
16-inch diameter pipeline and will serve as a bypass when rehabilitating the existing
sewer. In addition, the sewer line will provide a redundant pipeline under Highway 99.
4.1.4.2 Area 3
• River Bank Armament (Project RT-11): Riverbank armament is required to prevent

future erosion and exposure of the River Trunk and the CSL.
• CSL Diversion Structure (Project RT-12): This project is a new diversion structure
that will divert flows between the CSL and the existing River Trunk if a pipeline fails.
This project provides reliability to the CSL and River Trunk.
4.1.5 Storm Drain Cross Connection Removal Program
For areas of the City lacking storm drainage systems, storm water is conveyed into the
sanitary sewer system via cross connections. However, removing some of these cross
connections is necessary to reduce the amount of storm run-off that enters the sewer
system. This is because increased storm run-off in a system increases the risk of sanitary
sewer overflow.
Currently, the City has planned to remove three cross connections located downtown, one
cross connection at Hahn Sewer Lift Station, and four cross connections in the Roosevelt

Park neighborhood. In the next 5 years, it is estimated that up to eight more cross
connections could be removed City-wide. The remaining cross connections would be
removed between years 2021 and 2035.
5.0 JUSTIFICATION OF WASTEWATER TREATMENT

IMPROVEMENTS
Per the 2016 Master Plan, improvements to the wastewater treatment facilities are
recommended to improve reliability, to provide an increased level of treatment, and to
increase treatment capacity to accommodate growth.
The recommended projects consist of the following components, which are described
below.
• Sutter Plant Improvements: These improvements expand the Sutter Plant’s

hydraulic capacity and decommission abandoned facilities.
• Outfall Pipelines: This part of the project constructs a third outfall and new river
crossings for the Domestic Outfall and Can Seg Outfall. It also adds slip lining to a
portion of the Can Seg Outfall.
• Can Seg Flow Treatment Improvements: These improvements include upgrading

the existing secondary treatment facilities so that they can treat combined primary
effluent and a portion of the Can Seg flows.
• Primary Treatment at Jennings Plant: This part of the project adds new primary
treatment and solids handling facilities to the Jennings Plant.
Recommended projects and estimated costs are shown in Table 5, and additional details
from the Wastewater Treatment Master Plan CIP are presented in Appendix B. The
estimated costs are in 2015 dollars and are referenced to the 20-City Average Engineering
News Record Construction Cost Index (ENR CCI) of 10270 (December 2015). Construction
costs include a 30 percent estimating contingency. Project costs include construction costs
and a 32 percent allowance for engineering, legal, administration, and permitting costs.
A schematic of the recommended project is shown in Figure 4. Site layouts for the Sutter
Plant, Outfall Pipelines, and Jennings Plant are shown on Figures 5, 6, and 7, respectively.

The following sections describe the treatment and outfall pipeline projects.
5.1 Sutter Plant Improvements
5.1.1 SP - 1 Influent Pump Station Improvements
The influent pump station consists of four enclosed screw-type pumps as well as space
planned for a fifth pump. Based on flow projections, the fifth pump will be required to
provide sufficient capacity to convey the projected PWWF. However, this pump is not
needed until near the end of the 20-year planning period.

5.1.2 SP - 2 Headworks, Dryden Box, and Influent Flume Improvements
• SP - 2.1 New Dryden Box: The existing corroded Dryden Box will be demolished and
replaced with a smaller box designed to receive and combine flow from the existing
CSL and the old River Trunk. The River Trunk will be repurposed as a redundant
CSL.
• SP - 2.2 New West Junction Structure: A new West Trunk Junction Structure will be
constructed, and modifications to the existing Junction Box No. 1 will be made. This
includes adding yard piping that connects the two structures to provide a connection
point for the new River Trunk.
• SP - 2.3 Influent Screening: The influent bar screens will be replaced with new
chain-driven multi-rake screens with 1/4-inch bar spacing. These new screens will
improve efficiency and reduce maintenance on downstream treatment facilities. A 4-
foot wide chain-driven multi-rake screen with 1/2-inch bar spacing will also be
installed in the bypass channel, with 1-foot wide bypass gates on either side of the
screen to divert peak flows. Additionally, a new screenings washer compactor will be
skid-mounted and installed. The existing washer compactor will be removed, skid-
mounted as well, and stored for standby use.
• SP - 2.4 Grit Removal: A grit removal mechanism will be installed in Grit Basin No. 4
along with an additional grit pump. Improvements to increase the capture of fine
particles include placing deflector baffles on the inlets to the grit basins, raising the
elevation of the grit chamber effluent weirs, and installing new motor belt drives to
reduce the impeller speed in all four grit basins. Additionally, the existing cyclone/grit
classifiers will be replaced with two COANDA vortex-type grit washers.
• SP - 2.5 Headworks Building Odor Control Improvements: In the Bar Screen

Room and Building as well as the Grit and Screening Handling Room, the ventilation
rate will be increased to improve working conditions. In addition, the existing air
handling unit (AHU) will be replaced with two new AHUs, and the existing metal air
ductwork from the AHU to the Headworks Building will be replaced with FRP
ductwork.
The existing biofilter consists of two cells with a 4-foot soil media bed. To
accommodate increased ventilation airflows, this biofilter will be expanded into the
space currently occupied by the access ramps.
• SP - 2.6 Influent Parshall Flumes: Upstream flow straightening baffles will be

installed to even out the flow pattern upstream of the flumes and to improve
measurement accuracy. The third standby flume will be brought online to
accommodate projected PWWF.

• SP - 2.7 Pumping Plant No. 3 (Can Seg Pump Station): Pumping Plant No. 3 will
be expanded to add a new wet well and submersible pumps dedicated to lower flows
during non-canning season. Two small dry pit submersible pumps (4 mgd and 8 mgd)
will be installed in the new wet well to improve turn-down capacity so that cannery
process water can be segregated from domestic flows year-round. Additionally, the
two existing Can Seg climber screens on the inlet channel to the existing Pumping
Plant No. 3 will be replaced with new 3/8-inch chain-driven multi-rake type screens. A
third screen will be installed in the existing bypass channel.
5.1.3 SP - 3 Outfall Pump Station Replacement
The existing Primary Effluent Pump Station will be replaced with a new Outfall Pump
Station located above the 100-year flood elevation. This new pump station will provide the
capacity and pumping head required for the projected PWWF.
5.1.4 SP - 4 Demolition of Sutter Treatment Facilities
After relocating the Primary Treatment and Solids Handling Facilities to the Jennings Plant,
the abandoned facilities at the Sutter Plant will be demolished to below grade and buried to
provide space for future facilities.
5.1.5 SP - 5 Allowance for Flood Protection of Remaining Sutter Treatment

Facilities
The facilities that remain at the Sutter Plant after relocating the Primary Treatment and
Solids Handling Facilities will be modified to protect against a 100-year flood.
5.2 Outfall Pipelines Improvements
5.2.1 OP - 1 Replacement of Tuolumne River Pipe Crossings
• OP - 1.1 Replacement of Existing Crossings: For the Primary Domestic Outfall and
Can Seg Outfall, the existing pipe crossings under the Tuolumne River will be
replaced with new pipe crossings. The new crossings will allow the outfalls to operate
under pressure and will increase their flow capacities. In addition, since the existing
river crossings are likely in poor condition from corrosion, the new crossings will be
designed with materials that prevent or delay corrosion and provide a long service
life.
• OP - 1.2 Crossing for Third Outfall. A river crossing will also be provided for the
new Third Domestic Outfall. For more on this, see CIP Project OP - 2.
5.2.2 OP - 2 Third Outfall
A new third outfall from the Sutter Plant to the Jennings Plant will be added to convey only
domestic flows. The Third Outfall will have a 54-inch diameter and a length of

approximately 45,500 ft. This outfall will provide redundancy for the existing Domestic
Outfall, which will allow it to provide redundancy for the Can Seg Outfall.
5.2.3 OP - 3 Slip Lining Portion of the Can Seg Outfall
A portion of the Can Seg Outfall will be lined with a plastic liner to improve its condition and
reliability. Currently, the condition of the Can Seg Outfall interior is unknown. However, it is
assumed that half of the pipeline’s length will be lined. Nonetheless, the actual extent of the
pipeline needing to be lined will be defined once the pipeline’s condition is assessed.
5.3 Jennings Plant Improvements
5.3.1 JP - 1 Secondary Treatment/Can Seg Treatment Facilities Upgrade
• JP - 1.1 Fixed Film Reactors (FFRs) and Pump Station Rehabilitation: The
existing FFR media, media support system, rotary distributor, and air supply fans will
be replaced to increase the FFRs’ performance. The pumps in the FFR Pump Station
will also be replaced and equipped with variable frequency drives (VFDs) to meet
minimum hydraulic loading requirements. In addition, the FFR Effluent Box will be
expanded, and a new pipe will connect it to the existing pipeline from the
Recirculation Diversion Box to the FFR Mixing Box. This will allow FFR effluent to be
recirculated to the FFR influent instead of drawing make-up water from the
Recirculation Channel.
• JP - 1.2 Nutrient Feed and pH Control Systems: Chemical feed pumps, storage
tanks, and feed systems will be provided for each chemical. Nutrient addition and pH
control of the Can Seg flow will be necessary for proper treatment process
performance.
• JP - 1.3 Peroxide Feed System: Chemical feed pumps, storage tanks, and a feed
system will be provided for peroxide to control odors from the FFRs.
• JP - 1.4 Aerators in Recirculation Channel: Fifty-eight 50-horsepower (hp) surface

mechanical aerators, or another aeration system, will be installed in the Recirculation
Channel to increase the secondary treatment capacity. A new electrical system,
including transformers, motor control centers, and new ductbanks, will replace the
mostly abandoned existing electrical service.
• JP - 1.5 Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) Piping Modifications: The DAFs are used
to remove algae and suspended solids from the pond effluent. The DAF effluent
piping will be modified to convey the flow into the Irrigation Forebay. Flow from the
Irrigation Forebay will then be used to irrigate the City's ranch land.

5.3.2 JP - 2 Primary Treatment and Solids Handling Facilities
• JP - 2.1 Primary Treatment Facilities (Liquid Stream): New Primary Treatment

Facilities at the Jennings Plant will replace the aging Primary Treatment Facilities at
the Sutter Plant. The new facilities will consist of three 110-foot diameter primary
clarifiers, primary sludge pumping, and scum pumping.
• JP - 2.2 Yard Piping and Structures: Additional yard piping will be built to connect
the primary treatment and solids handling facilities to the existing treatment facilities
at the Jennings Plant. Flow splitting structures will also be provided.
• JP - 2.3 Anaerobic Digesters: Three anaerobic digesters will be built at the Jennings
Plant to replace the aging digesters at the Sutter Plant and provide a means for
treating the solids from waste activated sludge (WAS) generated by the BNR/tertiary
facilities. Each digester will have a 115-foot diameter and a 31-foot side-water depth
and will treat the combination of WAS and primary sludge from the new primary
clarifiers. The digester complex will include a Digester Control Building to house
electrical, instrumentation and control, digester mixing, and heating equipment.
• JP - 2.4 Solids Processing Building (WAS Thickening and Biosolids Dewatering

Facilities): Two sieve drum concentrators will thicken the WAS before it is sent to the
digesters. This thickening is necessary to reduce the volume requirements for the
anaerobic digesters. After thickening, four belt filter presses, or another process, will
dewater the digested sludge before it is sent to the sludge cake drying beds. The
WAS thickening and biosolids dewatering equipment will be located in an enclosed
building.
• JP - 2.5 Sludge Cake Drying Beds: Sludge cake (the dewatered digested sludge)
will be solar-dried in new drying beds to reduce the volume and weight of the solids
and treat it to Class I standards for land application at the City's ranch. The drying
beds will consist of an asphalt-paved area with concrete containment walls and piping
for drainage, as well as decant return to the existing tailwater pump station TPS-A.
TPS-A will also be rehabilitated, and drying bed facilities will be constructed to
accommodate additional flows.
5.3.3 JP - 3 Miscellaneous Repairs
The equipment at the Jennings Plant will require general replacement, and the existing
facilities will need to be upgraded. Areas in need of repair include the Outfall Flowmeter Pit,
FFR Mixing Box, Storage Pump Station, and DAF Facilities.

5.4 Engineering Studies
5.4.1 ES - 1 Master Plan Updates
The Master Plan will undergo an update every five years.
5.4.2 ES - 2 Land Application Study
The land application of cannery process water as irrigation water at current loadings is
expected to continue for the duration of the planning period. However, a detailed scientific
study is recommended to verify appropriate long-term land application rates and
methodologies. If this study resulted in revised Waste Discharge Permit (WDR)
requirements and loading rates, the requirements would likely be implemented over several
five-year WDR permit cycles, which could continue beyond the 20-year planning period. For
this reason, the CIP does not include projects to accommodate lower Can Seg land
application rates.
6.0 COST ALLOCATION METHODOLOGY

This section describes the methodology used to allocate costs between existing and future
domestic customers and Can Seg customers. Also described is the basis for cost
allocations among the wastewater loading components, flow, biochemical oxygen demand
(BOD), and total suspended solids (TSS).
6.1 Cost Allocations between Customers
6.1.1 Collection System Improvements
As discussed in Section 4.1, collection system improvements are categorized as capacity,

new growth, rehabilitation and replacement (R&R), reliability, or storm drain cross
connection removal. The methodology used to allocate costs for these categories is
described below, and a summary of the collection system project cost allocations for each
category is shown in Table 6. Detailed allocation criteria are presented in Appendix A.
6.1.1.1 Hydraulic Capacity Improvements
An existing hydraulic deficiency occurs where the flow levels in gravity sewers exceed the
allowable d/D. A project to correct an existing hydraulic deficiency is allocated entirely to
existing users.
An existing sewer or lift station may have sufficient capacity to convey current PWWFs, but
as growth continues and more users are added to the system, flow will increase, resulting in
capacity deficiencies. These projects, as well as new trunk sewers to extend wastewater
collection system service to future growth areas, are considered future improvements and
are allocated to future users.

Table 6 Allocation of Collection System Costs to Existing and Future Users
Engineer's Report
Total Cost Allocation(1)
Project Existing Customers Future Customers
Project Category Cost(1) $ % $ %
Capacity Improvements $103.6 $ 65.1 62.8% $38.6 37.2%
New Growth Improvements 35.4 - 0.0 35.4 100.0
R&R Improvements 56.0 50.1 89.3 6.0 10.7
Reliability Improvements 5.6 3.5 61.8 2.1 38.2
Storm Drain Removal 17.0 17.0 100.0 - 0.0
Total $217.7 $135.6 62.3% $82.1 37.7%
Note:
corresponding to the 20-City Average Index in July 2015. Costs are not escalated to future
years. Total project costs include an allowance for contingencies, engineering, legal, and
administration costs.
In some cases, a project is needed to correct an existing capacity deficiency, but it is sized
to accommodate additional flows from future development. In these cases, the hydraulic
modeling results are used to determine the cost breakdown between existing and future
users based on the ratio of existing and build-out average dry weather flow.
6.1.1.2 New Growth Improvements
Projects to serve future growth include extensions of existing trunk sewers and the
construction of new pump stations. Costs were allocated 100 percent to future use where
growth improvements served only future customers.
6.1.1.3 R&R Improvements
R&R projects include improvements to existing trunk sewers or pump stations to extend
their useful lives, to repair structural deficiencies, and/or to improve performance so that the
facilities have adequate capacity throughout the planning period. These improvements
benefit both existing and future customers by upgrading and extending the facilities’ useful
lives. Therefore, allocations are based on the relative ratio of average dry weather flows for
existing and build-out conditions.
6.1.1.4 Reliability Improvements
These projects add parallel sewers where existing pipes cross below major obstacles.
Since all users see long-term benefits from these upgraded facilities, allocations are based
on relative average dry weather flows, similar to capacity improvements.

6.1.1.5 Storm Drain Removal
These projects mitigate extensive surcharging within the existing collection system and
reduce the chances of overflow. These projects are assigned entirely to existing users,
since the deficiencies are current.
6.1.2 Wastewater Treatment Improvements
Wastewater treatment improvements are allocated between existing and future domestic
customers and Can Seg customers based on relative benefit. The methodology used to
allocate each improvement is described in the following sections, and a summary of each
cost allocation is shown in Table 7. Detailed allocation criteria are presented in Appendix B.
6.1.2.1 Sutter Plant Improvements
6.1.2.1.1 SP - 1 Influent Screw Pump Addition
Because the additional screw pump provides expansion capacity, it benefits only future
domestic customers. For this reason, costs are allocated 100 percent to future domestic
customers.
6.1.2.1.2 SP - 2 Headworks, Dryden Box, and Influent Flume Improvements
• SP - 2.1 New Dryden Box: This benefits only Can Seg customers. Costs are
allocated 100 percent to Can Seg customers.
• SP - 2.2 New West Junction Structure: This benefits only domestic customers. The
Allocation between existing and future users is in proportion to projected PWWF.
• SP - 2.3 Influent Screening: The new screens benefit only domestic customers.
• SP - 2.4 Grit Removal: These improvements benefit only domestic customers.

• SP - 2.5 Headworks Building Odor Control Improvements: This benefits only

domestic customers. Allocation between existing and future users is in proportion to
the projected PWWF.
• SP - 2.6 Influent Parshall Flumes: This benefits only domestic customers. Allocation

6.1.2.2 Outfall Pipelines
6.1.2.2.1 OP - 1 Replacement of Tuolumne River Pipe Crossings
OP - 1.1 Replacement of Existing Crossings: The new crossings benefit both

domestic and Can Seg customers. Since Can Seg customers use the Can Seg
Outfall, the entire cost of the Can Seg Outfall was allocated to Can Seg customers.
However, both domestic and Can Seg customers benefit from the Primary Domestic
Outfall after the completion of the Third Outfall. During the peak canning season, the
Primary Outfall acts as a redundant pipeline for the Can Seg Outfall. This season
lasts approximately 70 to 80 days, which is approximately 20 percent of the year. For
this reason, the Primary Domestic Outfall was allocated 80 percent to domestic
customers and 20 percent to Can Seg customers. The domestic allocation was then
further allocated to existing and future users in proportion to projected PWWF.
• OP - 1.2 Crossing for Third Outfall: The new crossings benefit both the domestic
and Can Seg customers. The cost of the crossing for the Third Outfall was allocated
80 percent to domestic customers and 20 percent to Can Seg customers. The
domestic allocation was then further allocated to existing and future users in
proportion to projected PWWF.
6.1.2.2.2 OP - 2 Third Outfall

6.1.2.3.3 JP - 3 Miscellaneous Repairs
These projects benefit both domestic and Can Seg customers. Costs were allocated
between the domestic and Can Seg customers based on design maximum month BOD
loading. The domestic allocation was then further allocated to existing and future users in
proportion to projected MMF.
6.1.2.4 Engineering Studies
6.1.2.4.1 ES - 1 Master Plan Updates
Updates to the Master Plan will benefit both domestic and Can Seg customers. Costs were
allocated based on the overall total cost allocation to domestic and Can Seg customers
from all of the CIP projects for the Sutter Plant, Outfall Pipelines, and Jennings Plant (total
= $285.3M; Can Seg = $84.9M [29.8%]; domestic = $200.4M [70.2%]).
The domestic allocation was then further allocated to existing and future users in proportion
to total cost allocation from the CIP projects (domestic = $200.4M; existing = $156.8M
[78.3%]; future = $43.6M [21.7%]).
6.1.2.4.2 ES - 2 Land Application Study
This benefits only Can Seg customers. Costs were allocated 100 percent to Can Seg
customers.
6.2 Allocation to Billable Constituents
This section allocates project capital costs to the billable constituents of flow, BOD, and
TSS. The basis of this analysis is to evaluate each project component or unit process and
assess which constituent determines the function of the unit process and/or causes the
capital costs incurred. A summary of recommended billable constituent cost allocations for
each project component is presented on Table 8, and a discussion of the allocation for
various project elements is provided below.

7.0 PROJECT PHASING AND CASH FLOW PROJECTIONS

The wastewater collection system and treatment improvements program outlined will be
constructed in phases throughout the 20-year planning period. These improvements will be
implemented in five-year periods. Table 9 summarizes the phasing of the collection system
projects, and Appendix A shows the capital expenditures associated with the collection
system implementation plan in more detail. Phasing costs are driven by reliability priority
and anticipated new development.
The wastewater treatment improvements will also be constructed in phases. Timing for the
projects was determined for each year for the first five years and for each five-year period
for the remaining 15 years of the CIP. Similarly, the CIP cash flow was developed on a
year-by-year basis for the first five years and on an average annual basis for each five-year
period thereafter. Table 9 also summarizes the capital costs for each phase.
Combining the entire wastewater capital improvement program for the collection system
and treatment improvements results in the cost flow presented in Figure 8.
