Project Title:
Broadway–Highland Sewer Improvement Project

Project Description:
This project proposes the replacement and rehabilitation of approximately 2,400 feet of existing sanitary sewer along Highland Street, Flanagan Street, and East Broadway Street. The affected area has experienced sanitary sewer overflows (SSOs), repeated failures, including structural collapses, blockages, and excessive inflow and infiltration (I&I). The project will ensure the continued functionality and reliability of the wastewater collection system, preventing environmental hazards and protecting public health.

Green Infrastructure:

Green stormwater infrastructure includes a wide array of practices at multiple scales that manage wet weather and that maintains and restores natural hydrology by infiltrating, evapotranspiring and harvesting and using stormwater. On a regional scale, green infrastructure is the preservation and restoration of natural landscape features, such as forests, floodplains, and wetlands, coupled with policies such as infill and redevelopment that reduce overall imperviousness in a watershed. On the local scale, green infrastructure consists of site and neighborhood-specific practices, such as:

Component		Cost
Item 1:	Implementation of green streets.
Item 2:	Wet Weather management systems for parking areas.
Item 3:	Implementation of comprehensive urban forestry programs.
Item 4:	Stormwater harvesting and reuse.
Item 5:	Downspout disconnection.
Item 6:	Comprehensive retrofit programs designed to keep wet weather discharges out of sewer systems.
Item 7:	Establishment or restoration of riparian buffers, floodplains, wetlands or other natural features.
Item 8:	Management of wetlands.
Item 9:	Purchase of land or easements on land that has a direct benefit to water quality.
Total Cost:

* Indicates a business case may be required for this item.

If any box(es) above are checked, please describe each below.

Water Efficiency:

The use of improved technologies and practices to deliver equal or better services with less water. Water efficiency encompasses conservation and reuse efforts, as well as water loss reduction and prevention, to protect water resources for the future. Examples include:

Component		Cost
Item 1:	Installing or retrofitting water efficient devices such as plumbing fixtures and appliances (toilets, showerheads, urinals).
Item 2:	Installing any type of water meter in previously unmetered areas (can include backflow prevention if in conjunction with meter replacement).
Item 3:	Replacing existing broken/malfunctioning water meters with AMR or smart meters, meters with leak detection, backflow prevention
Item 4:	Retrofitting/Adding AMR capabilities or leak equipment to existing meters.
Item 5:	Developing water audit and conservation plans, which are reasonably expected to result in a capital project.
Item 6:	Recycling and water reuse projects that replace potable sources with non-potable sources (Gray water, condensate, and wastewater effluent reuse systems, extra treatment or distribution costs associated with water reuse).
Item 7:	Retrofit or replacement of existing landscape irrigation/agricultural systems to more efficient landscape/agricultural irrigation systems (rain and moisture sensing equipment)
Item 8:	Water meter replacement with traditional water meters.*
Item 9:	Projects that result from a water audit or water conservation plan.*
Item 10:	Storage tank replacement/rehabilitation to reduce water loss.*
Item 11:	New water efficient landscape/agricultural irrigation system, where there currently is not one.*
Total Cost:

* Indicates a business case may be required for this item.

If any box(es) above are checked, please describe each below.

Energy Efficiency:

Energy efficiency is the use of improved technologies and practices to reduce the energy consumption of water projects, use energy in a more efficient way, and/or produce/utilize renewable energy. Examples include:

Component		Cost
Item 1:	Renewable energy projects such as wind, solar, geothermal, and micro-hydroelectric, and biogas combined heat and power systems that provide power to a POTW.
Item 2:	POTW-owned renewable energy projects.
Item 3:	Collection system infiltration/inflow (I/I) detection equipment.
Item 4:	POTW energy management planning, including energy assessments, energy audits, optimization studies, and sub-metering of individual processes to determine high energy use areas

Item 9:	Replacing old motors with premium energy efficiency motors.*
Item 10:	Upgrade of POTW lighting to energy efficient sources.*
Item 11:	SCADA systems where substantial energy savings can be demonstrated.*
Item 12:	Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) controllers where substantial energy savings can be demonstrated.*
