The City completed an extensive capital improvement planning effort to identify additional Critical Projects for delivery and execution in the coming years. These projects were selected by applying an Integrated Planning Approach to consider all compliance and utility obligations. As a result, this group of projects provides a balanced investment into both the City’s wastewater and water utilities. The projects were identified to address three main goals: 1) address and mitigate sanitary sewer overflows 2) support the City’s regulatory compliance obligations – wastewater and water, and 3) enable reliable utility service to continue. While these projects vary in their level of definition, the current cost for completing design and construction activities is estimated to be approximately $415 million. It is expected that additional activities, initiatives, and projects will be identified in future years as the City continues to progress ongoing planning activities.

A summary of the City’s Critical Projects is presented below.
