MEMORANDUM

CC: Mike Beckstead, Chief Financial Officer
Re: Utility 10 Year Capital Improvement Plans
The 10 year Capital Improvement Plans (CIP) for Water, Waste Water and Storm Water
and the 5 year capital project summary for Light & Power are attached.
Each of the CIPs are based on the long term operational needs of each utility
developed through Master Plans which are periodically updated to reflect the changing
regulatory, environmental and economic conditions of our community. The
implementation of the Master Plans requires new infrastructure which is built through
new capital projects. In addition to these capital projects, the infrastructure necessary
to provide utility services to our community requires maintenance throughout its useful
life and capital replacement once the asset has reached the end of its useful life. All of
these capital projects are compiled into a single Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) for
each “wet” utility through a multi-attribute prioritization process.
The Light & Power utility has historically not identified specific system renewal projects
through the budget process but rather these projects have been funded through a
lapsing minor capital appropriation each year. Major capital projects in Light & Power
such as new substations, City annexations and other one-time projects like facility
appropriations have been separately funded through the budget process and while such
projects are anticipated years in advance there has not been a CIP developed for this
utility yet. The attached L&P Capital Summary includes the need for a new substation
to meet the growing demand in the northeast portion of our community. With the
Advanced Meter Fort Collins project reaching full implementation, Asset Management
will be focused on the Light & Power utility in 2015 by developing asset and risk
registers for major assets, creating and analyzing failure curves which are necessary to
model life cycle asset management strategies, and developing a prioritized CIP as the
other utilities have now.
Hand Delivered to City
Council on October 11,
2014
Historically, facility capital needs such as the Utility Administration Building have been
treated as separate capital projects and not included in the capital improvement plans.
A 10 year Strategic Financial Plan (SFP) for the Utilities Service Area was developed in
2012. Each Utilities CIP will be incorporated into the SFP in 2015 and will provide a
more comprehensive long term plan for the efficient and effective financial management
of the Utilities.
Attached please find the CIPs for the three wet utilities and the current summarization of
Light & Power capital requirement. The appendices with the project specific detail have
been omitted here due to their length but can be provided.

Executive Summary
The scope of this document is to provide information pertaining to capital projects,
project prioritization, and funding needs within the Water Enterprise Fund managed by
Fort Collins Utilities (FCU). Outlined below are summaries of each area of this
document.
Capital Projects
This document contains information pertaining to the Water Production & Water
Distribution divisions in the water enterprise fund. FCU project managers were asked to
provide the Asset Manager with as much information as possible about known capital
projects within the water fund. Detailed information for projects for both divisions in the
fund can be found in Appendices A & B of this document.
Capital Project Prioritization
A working group of approximately 20 FCU staff from the wastewater, water, &
stormwater businesses compiled the process for prioritizing projects. A high-level
snapshot of the process is included below.
The project prioritization for the water fund is shown on the next page.

A new element of the project prioritization process was added in 2014. The Capital
Project Review Committee (CPRC) was created to ensure that FCU project managers
are in alignment with FCU senior management. The CPRC consists of the following
positions:
Executive Director
Strategic Financial Planning Manager
Water Resources & Treatment Operations Manager
Water Engineering & Field Services Manager
Light & Power Operations Manager
The CPRC will meet monthly in the months preceding the beginning of the BFO process
and quarterly in non-BFO years.
Water Fund Capital Funding Needs

The large spike in years 5 & 6 is for the construction of Halligan Reservoir.
Enhancements from Previous Plans
Of note in this version of the CIP compared to previous versions is the increase in capital
funding for the water distribution system (WDS). To achieve a more sustainable
replacement rate for the WDS, the length of replacement is proposed to increase by
0.10% each year to the proposed level of 1% per year. This increase will allow the
distribution system superintendent and his staff to become more proactive in replacing
the system and avoid probable increases in corrective maintenance as the system
continues to deteriorate.
Future Project Costs
It is expected that certain annual capital projects, i.e. distribution system replacement or
water production group replacement, will continue at similar funding levels beyond the
10-year planning horizon; however, of considerable note is one regulatory project
beyond the 10-year planning horizon considered in this document.
The addition of granular activated carbon (GAC) to the treatment process is a potential
regulatory-driven project and is estimated to cost $46,500,000 when installed. It is
uncertain if and when this project will need to occur, as it is related to a few different
water quality parameters that could change in the future. While this project’s future is
uncertain, it warrants special consideration due to its significant cost and potential
impact on Water Fund reserves.

Capital Project Prioritization
Prioritization Methodology
FCU staff developed a process for prioritizing capital projects across all of the “wet” enterprise
funds. The need for this process was driven by the need for more defensible and transparent
capital budgeting requests, and ultimately to be able to defend any needed increases in revenue
for capital expenditures in these “wet” funds. This process is designed to include renewal &
replacement of existing infrastructure as well as addition of new capital to the system.
A working group of approximately 20 FCU staff from the stormwater, water, & wastewater funds
compiled the process for prioritizing projects. A high-level snapshot of the process is included
below.
.
Capital Project Prioritizaton Business Process
Prioritization Criteria
Fourteen criteria were identified as being key to the prioritization process. Each criterion
listed below has sub-criterion and a corresponding point value to best describe how well
each project satisfies the prioritization criteria. The prioritization criteria are:
Regulatory Compliance – is the project necessary because of a current or upcoming
regulation (Federal, State, or Local)?

Public Health & Safety – Is the project necessary because of an immediate or potential
public health & safety threat?
Employee Health & Safety - Is the project necessary because of an immediate or
potential employee health & safety threat?
Other Community Benefit – does the project provide a benefit to the community that is
not identified in any of the other criteria, for example providing sewer service to homes
that were previously on a failing septic system?
Sustainability – does the project support one or more of the aspects of FCU’s Utility for
the 21st Century initiative?
Revenue Generation – does the project generate any amount of additional revenue that
would not otherwise be realized by FCU through the enterprise rate bases?
System Capacity – Does the project provide an increase in system capacity to some
degree?
System Reliability & Redundancy – does the project increase system reliability &
redundancy by replacing problematic assets or adding redundancy for critical assets that
previously had none?
Reduce Infrastructure Risk– does the project reduce the risk of an infrastructure failure?
Coincides with Other City Programs – can significant cost savings or sustainable
practices be achieved by combining this project with other City programs such as
pavement management?
Operational Cost Savings – will cost savings of any degree be realized with this project,
i.e. less energy use or fewer manhours spent performing corrective maintenance?
Public Relations – is FCU’s image to the public improved to some degree by completing
this project?
Security – does this project address a security need that is not addressed in the
“regulatory compliance” criterion listed above?
Process Improvement – does the project help a certain aspect of the way work is
performed by FCU staff or help the operation of the treatment plant processes? Does it
provide easier access to a section of distribution or collection main?
Emergency Project – is this project mandatory because of some previously unforeseen
reason such as aiding development, previously unknown condition?
Prioritization Criteria Weights
A pairwise comparison process was used to determine these relative weights for each
CIP team. The graphic on the following page shows the relative criteria weights for the
water fund.

Capital Projects Selection
Capital projects are brought forth for inclusion in the CIP by one of two ways:
Suggestion by Water Distribution System maintenance superintendent;
Suggestion by Water Production Group staff;
These two methods apply to both renewal and replacement of existing infrastructure and
the addition of new capital to the water fund. Each project is then evaluated against the
evaluation criteria described above.
Prioritization of Projects
Once the CIP framework was established and all known capital projects were identified,
each capital project was rated against the framework to determine a total “score” for
each project. Projects were then ranked from highest to lowest score to establish an
order in which projects should be constructed. The prioritization for the water fund is
shown below.
Capital Project Prioritization Updates
Since capital creation and renewal is such an integral part of FCU’s bi-annual Budgeting
for Outcomes (BFO) process, the capital project prioritization shall be updated every
year. FCU Strategic Financial Planning Staff created a process, shown below, by which
capital projects shall be created, prioritized, approved for funding, and entered into the
BFO process that occurs bi-annually to establish City of Fort Collins and FCU budgets.
A description of each of these steps is included in Appendix C. This process shall be
reviewed annually to ensure that priorities of FCU senior management are being met by
the project prioritization efforts.

Capital Project Prioritization Process
Some of these process steps are new to FCU, and others exist in various forms across
FCU. As with most new endeavors within any organization, this new process will
require some continuous reinforcement from the FCU senior management team to
ensure that full adoption occurs.

Capital Funding Needs
The following section presents funding levels necessary to build water fund capital
projects in the next 10 years.
Water Distribution System
Funding needs for the water distribution system are shown in the graph below. The
increase in capital funding each year stems from an increase in system replacement
each year from 2015 to 2021 to achieve a sustainable rate of replacement. This amount
of replacement will result in full replacement of the system in 100 years, the typical
design life of the water distribution system.
Water Distribution 10-Year Capital Needs
Water Production Group
Funding needs for the water production group are shown in the graph below. Capital
expenditures drop off significanty in 2022; however, the updated Water Production
Group Master Plan will most likely identify significant replacement program needs for
years 2022 and beyond.
13
Water Production Capital Needs
Water Resources Group
The primary mission of the Water Resources Group is to secure water rights to
strengthen FCU’s water rights portfolio. Funding needs for the group are shown in the
graph below.
Of particular interest in this funding group is the spike in costs in years 2019 and 2020.
These costs are for the enlargement of Halligan Reservoir. Confirmation of the cost of
this project is needed well in advance of this project to ensure that adequate reserves
exist to fund the project.

Water Fund Aggregate Funding Needs
The table and graph below show the total capital funding needs for the water enterprise
fund for the next 10 years. This aggregate funding contains capital funding for the water
distribution system and the water production group. Water Resources projects are
funded from a separate fund in the Water Fund, the Water Rights Reserve Fund. This
fund can only be used for the purchase of additional water rights and the construction of
Halligan Reservoir; therefore, it does not compete against Water Distribution and Water
Production projects for capital funding from the Water Fund.
The tables below show the projected costs for both Water Distribution and Water
Production in near- and mid-term windows.

Executive Summary
The scope of this document is to provide information pertaining to capital projects,
project prioritization, and funding needs within the Wastewater Enterprise Fund
managed by Fort Collins Utilities (FCU). Outlined below are summaries of each area of
this document.
Capital Projects
This document contains information pertaining to both the Water Reclamation &
Biosolids and Wastewater Collection divisions in the Wastewater enterprise fund. FCU
project managers were asked to provide the Asset Manager with as much information as
possible about known capital projects within the wastewater fund. Detailed information
for those projects in the fund can be found in Appendices A & B.
Capital Project Prioritization
A working group of approximately 20 FCU staff from the wastewater, water, &
stormwater businesses compiled the process for prioritizing projects. A high-level
snapshot of the process is included below.
A detailed project prioritization is included on the next page.

A new element of the project prioritization process was added in 2014. The Capital
Project Review Committee (CPRC) was created to ensure that FCU project managers
are in alignment with FCU senior management. The CPRC consists of the following
positions:
Executive Director
Strategic Financial Planning Manager
Water Resources & Treatment Operations Manager
Water Engineering & Field Services Manager
Light & Power Operations Manager
The CPRC will meet monthly in the months preceding the beginning of the BFO process
and quarterly in non-BFO years.
Wastewater Capital Funding Needs
The graph and table below show the funding needs for the wastewater enterprise fund
for near- and long-term capital projects. This aggregate funding contains both water
reclamation and collection system capital projects.

Future Regulatory Projects for Water Reclamation Facilities
There are five regulatory-driven projects in the water reclamation & biosolids project
portfolio that occur beyond the 10-year planning horizon. These projects address
pending regulations from the Environmental Protection Agency that require the removal
of excess nitrogen and phosphorus from water reclamation facility effluent. The table
below shows the cost of these projects.
It is unclear at this time whether or not these regulations will be enacted. Also it is
unclear what the impact will be on the enterprise for capital and operational

Capital Project Selection & Prioritization
Classification of Capital Projects
Capital construction in FCU’s wastewater enterprise fund consists of two areas of focus:
construction of capital projects for the water reclamation and biosolids division
unit; this area consists of projects at the Drake and Mulberry water reclamation
facilities (WRF) and the Meadow Springs Ranch where biosolids from each of the
water reclamation facilities are processed.
renewal and replacement of the existing wastewater collection system (WWCS).
A very large percentage of the collection system exists today, and the FCU wastewater
service area is bounded by special districts; therefore, additional expansion of the
collection system through the addition of new capital is not anticipated. This CIP will
focus primarily on renewal and replacement of existing WWCS infrastructure. If new
capital is added to the WWCS, then it will be reflected in this document at that time.
Prioritization Methodology
In 2011, FCU staff developed a process for prioritizing capital projects across all of the
“wet” enterprise funds. The need for this process was driven by the need for more
defensible and transparent capital budgeting requests, and ultimately to be able to
defend any needed increases in revenue for capital expenditures in these “wet” funds.
This process is designed to include renewal & replacement of existing infrastructure as
well as addition of new capital to the system.
A working group of approximately 20 FCU staff from the wastewater, water, &
stormwater businesses compiled the process for prioritizing projects. A high-level
snapshot of the process is included below.

Capital Project Prioritizaton Business Process
Prioritization Criteria
Regulatory Compliance – is the project necessary because of a current or upcoming
regulation (Federal, State, or Local)?
Public Health & Safety – Is the project necessary because of an immediate or potential
public health & safety threat?
Employee Health & Safety - Is the project necessary because of an immediate or
potential employee health & safety threat?
Other Community Benefit – does the project provide a benefit to the community that is
not identified in any of the other criteria, for example providing sewer service to homes
that were previously on a failing septic system?
Sustainability – does the project support one or more of the aspects of FCU’s Utility for
the 21st Century initiative?
Revenue Generation – does the project generate any amount of additional revenue that
would not otherwise be realized by FCU through the enterprise rate bases?
System Capacity – Does the project provide an increase in system capacity to some
degree?

System Reliability & Redundancy – does the project increase system reliability &
redundancy by replacing problematic assets or adding redundancy for critical assets that
previously had none?
Reduce Infrastructure Risk– does the project reduce the risk of an infrastructure failure?
Coincides with Other City Programs – can significant cost savings or sustainable
practices be achieved by combining this project with other City programs such as
pavement management?
Operational Cost Savings – will cost savings of any degree be realized with this project,
i.e. less energy use or fewer manhours spent performing corrective maintenance?
Public Relations – is FCU’s image to the public improved to some degree by completing
this project?
Security – does this project address a security need that is not addressed in the
“regulatory compliance” criterion listed above?
Process Improvement – does the project help a certain aspect of the way work is
performed by FCU staff or help the operation of the treatment plant processes? Does it
provide easier access to a section of distribution or collection main?
Emergency Project – is this project mandatory because of some previously unforeseen
reason such as aiding development, previously unknown condition?
Prioritization Criteria Weights
Relative weights for each of the 14 prioritization criteria are included in the table on the
following page. A pairwise comparison process was used to determine these relative
weights, with each CIP team member’s judgments making up the larger wastewater fund
criteria weighting.
11
12
Capital Projects Creation
Capital projects in the wastewater collection system are brought forth for inclusion in the
CIP by one of two ways:
suggestion by the Wastewater Collection System maintenance superintendent,
suggestion by Water Reclamation & Biosolids staff
These two methods apply to both renewal and replacement of existing infrastructure and
the addition of new capital to the wastewater fund. Each project is then evaluated
against the CIP framework described above.
Prioritization of Projects
Once the CIP framework was established and all known capital projects were identified,
each project was rated against the evaluation criteria to determine a total “score” for
each project. Projects were then ranked from highest to lowest score to establish an
order in which projects should be constructed.
13
Capital Project Prioritization Updates
Since capital creation and renewal is such an integral part of FCU’s bi-annual Budgeting
for Outcomes (BFO) process, the capital project prioritization shall be updated every
year. FCU Strategic Financial Planning Staff created a process, shown below, by which
capital projects shall be created, prioritized, approved for funding, and entered into the
BFO process that occurs bi-annually to establish City of Fort Collins and FCU budgets.
A description of each of these steps is included in Appendix C. This process shall be
reviewed annually to ensure that priorities of FCU senior management are being met by
the project prioritization efforts.

Capital Project Prioritization Process
Some of these process steps are new to FCU, and others exist in various forms across
FCU. As with most new endeavors within any organization, this new process will
require some continuous reinforcement from the FCU senior management team to
ensure that full adoption occurs.

Capital Funding Needs
The following section presents information regarding funding levels necessary to build
capital projects in the wastewater fund for the next ten years. Project costs are shown
by division and a fund-wide combined view to provide a fund-wide picture of capital
needs for future years.
Water Reclamation & Biosolids Funding Needs
Funding needs for water reclamation & biosolids capital projects are shown in the graph
below. Of particular note in this division is the lack of capital projects beyond year 2021.
Once the master plan for this division is updated in 2017, managers of this division will
likely propose replacement projects for aging infrastructure.
Water Reclamation Capital Funding Needs
Wastewater Collection System Capital Projects
Wastewater collection system funding is shown in the graph on the following page. As
shown by the graph, the amount of capital funding for the collection system is projected
to increase each year through 2021 then remain stable for the foreseeable future. This
increase in funding will allow the collection system manager and his staff to become
proactive when replacing the collection system. A significant amount of the system will
be replaced with trenchless technologies, i.e. lining, pipe bursting, directional drilling, all
methods that are generally better from a triple bottom line perspective when compared
to traditional open cut construction methods.

Future Regulatory Projects for Water Reclamation Facilities
There are several regulatory-driven projects in the water reclamation & biosolids project
portfolio that occur beyond the 10-year planning horizon. These projects address
pending regulations from the Environmental Protection Agency that require the removal
of excess nitrogen and phosphorus from water reclamation facility effluent. The table on
the following page shows the magnitude of these projects.
It is unclear at this time whether or not these regulations will be enacted. Also it is

Executive Summary
The scope of this document is to provide information pertaining to capital projects,
project prioritization, and funding needs within the Stormwater Enterprise Fund managed
by Fort Collins Utilities (FCU). Outlined below are summaries of each area of this
document.
Capital Projects
This document contains information pertaining to master-planned capital projects,
stream restoration projects, and minor capital projects that will be funded by the
Stormwater enterprise fund. FCU project managers were asked to provide the Asset
Manager with as much information as possible about known capital projects within the
stormwater fund. Detailed information for all three types of capital projects in the fund
can be found in Appendices A, B, & C.
Capital Project Prioritization
Once all of the projects that will be funded from the stormwater fund were identified, a
process by which these projects would be prioritized and funded was needed. A working
group of approximately 20 FCU staff from the wastewater, water, & stormwater
businesses compiled the process for prioritizing projects. A high-level snapshot of the
process is included below.

Stormwater Capital Funding Needs
The graph and table below show the total capital funding needs for the stormwater
enterprise fund for the next ten years. This funding contains master planned, stream
restoration, and minor capital projects.
Stormwater Fund Capital Needs
As shown in the graph above, both minor capital and stream restoration project costs will
remain relatively stable for the next 10 years; however, there are some rather large
master planned projects that create some volatility in capital spending for the stormwater
enterprise fund.

Capital Project Selection & Prioritization
Classification of Capital Projects
Capital construction for FCU’s stormwater collection system consists of three areas of
focus:
construction of new master-planned facilities for flood control purposes (master-
planned projects)
construction of stream restoration projects aimed at restoring reaches of various
streams throughout Fort Collins to their native state (stream restoration projects)
replacement of existing stormwater collection infrastructure (minor capital
projects)
Master planned projects and stream restoration projects were previously prioritized
under separate efforts by FCU staff. The framework, methodology, and subsequent
prioritization for both master planned and stream restoration projects were vetted and
accepted by numerous people, so no changes were made to those prioritizations.
However, the list of known minor capital projects was never prioritized using any sort of
framework. This section of the CIP will focus on the prioritization of minor capital
projects.
Prioritization Methodology
In 2011, FCU staff developed a process for prioritizing capital projects across all of the
“wet” enterprise funds. The need for this process was driven by the need for more
defensible and transparent capital budgeting requests, and ultimately to be able to
defend any needed increases in revenue for capital expenditures in these “wet” funds.
This process is designed to include renewal & replacement of existing infrastructure as
well as addition of new capital to the system.
A working group of approximately 20 FCU staff from the stormwater, water, &
wastewater funds compiled the process for prioritizing projects. A high-level snapshot of
the process is included below.
8
Capital Project Prioritizaton Business Process
Prioritization Criteria
Fourteen criteria were identified as being key to the prioritization process. Each criterion
listed below has sub-criterion and a corresponding point value to best describe how well
each project satisfies the prioritization criteria. The prioritization criteria are:
Regulatory Compliance – is the project necessary because of a current or upcoming
regulation (Federal, State, or Local)?
Public Health & Safety – Is the project necessary because of an immediate or potential
public health & safety threat?
Employee Health & Safety - Is the project necessary because of an immediate or
potential employee health & safety threat?
Other Community Benefit – does the project provide a benefit to the community that is
not identified in any of the other criteria, for example providing sewer service to homes
that were previously on a failing septic system?
Sustainability – does the project support one or more of the aspects of FCU’s Utility for
the 21st Century initiative?

Revenue Generation – does the project generate any amount of additional revenue that
would not otherwise be realized by FCU through the enterprise rate bases?
System Capacity – Does the project provide an increase in system capacity to some
degree?
System Reliability & Redundancy – does the project increase system reliability &
redundancy by replacing problematic assets or adding redundancy for critical assets that
previously had none?
Reduce Infrastructure Risk– does the project reduce the risk of an infrastructure failure?
Coincides with Other City Programs – can significant cost savings or sustainable
practices be achieved by combining this project with other City programs such as
pavement management?
Operational Cost Savings – will cost savings of any degree be realized with this project,
i.e. less energy use or fewer manhours spent performing corrective maintenance?
Public Relations – is FCU’s image to the public improved to some degree by completing
this project?
Security – does this project address a security need that is not addressed in the
“regulatory compliance” criterion listed above?
Process Improvement – does the project help a certain aspect of the way work is
performed by FCU staff or help the operation of the treatment plant processes? Does it
provide easier access to a section of distribution or collection main?
Emergency Project – is this project mandatory because of some previously unforeseen
reason such as aiding development, previously unknown condition?
Prioritization Criteria Weights
Relative weights for each of the 14 prioritization criteria are included in the table on the
following page. The scale for each criterion is from 1 to 10, with 1 being the least
important and 10 being the most important.
10
Capital Project Prioritization Criteria
Capital Projects Creation
Minor capital projects in the stormwater collection system are brought forth for inclusion
in the CIP by one of two ways:
Suggestion by the Stormwater Collection System maintenance superintendent
Suggestion by the Stormwater and Floodplain Program Management staff
These methods apply to both renewal and replacement of existing infrastructure and the
addition of new capital to the SCS. Each project is then evaluated against the CIP
framework described above.
Prioritization of Projects
Once the CIP framework was established and all known minor capital projects were
identified, each project was rated against the evaluation criteria to determine a total
“score” for each project. Projects were then ranked from highest to lowest score to
establish an order in which projects should be constructed.
A project prioritization for minor capital projects is included in Appendix C. The
previously-developed prioritizations for master-planned and stream restoration projects
are included in Appendices A & B, respectively.

Capital Project Prioritization Updates
Since capital creation and renewal is such an integral part of FCU’s bi-annual Budgeting
for Outcomes (BFO) process, the capital project prioritization shall be updated every
year. FCU Strategic Financial Planning Staff created a process, shown below, by
which capital projects shall be created, prioritized, approved for funding, and entered into
the BFO process that occurs bi-annually to establish City of Fort Collins and FCU
budgets. A description of each of these steps is included in Appendix D. This process
shall be reviewed annually to ensure that priorities of FCU senior management are being
met by the project prioritization efforts.
Some of these process steps are new to FCU, while others exist in various forms. As
with most new endeavors within any organization, this new process will require some
continuous reinforcement from the FCU senior management team to ensure that full
adoption occurs.

Capital Funding Needs
The following section presents funding levels necessary to build stormwater fund capital
projects in the next ten years. Project costs are shown by type of project and a fund-
wide combined view to provide a fund-wide picture of capital needs for future years.
Master Planned Capital Projects
Funding for master-planned capital projects system is shown in the graph below. A 10-
year graph of these expenditures shows that there are some significant increases in
funding in 2022-2024.
Master Planned Capital Project Funding Needs
Stream Restoration Capital Projects
A separate funding stream within the stormwater fund for construction of stream
restoration capital projects was established in 2012. The aim of this separate stream is
to ensure that reaches of streams within Fort Collins are restored to their native
condition at some point. The level of this funding was initially set at $650,000 per year
with an increase to $700,000 in 2016. That amount is subject to review at some point in
the future.

Minor Capital Projects
The graph below represents ten years of anticipated funding needs for minor capital
projects. The typical budget for minor capital projects has been ~$400k per year in
recent past years, and this is expected to continue beyond 2017. The amount of the
replacement program budget should be reviewed at some point to determine if that
amount is sufficient to adequately address system deterioration.
