Project Title:
Cedar Hills Subdivision Sewer Extension Project
Project Description:
This project involves the extension of sewer service to the Cedar Hills neighborhood in eastern Daviess County via gravity sewers extending from the existing Countryside Pump Station. The sewer extension will require a combination of gravity sewers varying in size up to 15", a pump station and a force main. This project will eliminate one failing package plant that presently serves 122 households and one church. As proposed, these 122 homes and church will be connected into the Regional Water Resource Agency sewer system. Additionally, this project also involves the rehabilitation of the existing collection system within the Cedar Hills neighborhood. The level of decline of the package plant and collection system has accelerated in recent years, necessitating the development of an alternative to the existing package plant and substantial rehabilitation efforts (manhole rehabilitation, manholes adjusted to grade, main repairs, lateral repairs and pipe lining.)
Need For Project:
Briefly describe how this project promotes public health or achieves and/or maintains compliance with the Clean Water Act or Safe Drinking Water Act:
On March 30, 2015, Cedar Hill Sanitation Disposal Corporation petitioned to abandon its sewer facilities and discontinue all service to its customers. Subsequently the Public Service Commission and Daviess County Fiscal Court have asked RWRA to provide a proposal for providing sewer service to this neighborhood, in an effort to prevent homeowners from being left without sewer service and thus, unable to continue residing in their homes. Recent site and video inspections have established that the physical condition of the facilities is in an advanced, deteriorated state and in need of expedited replacement/rehabilitation. RWRA determined that in order for RWRA to provide sewer service, connection to the existing system would be necessary. An abandonment hearing was held on February 23, 2016, making this a very time sensitive and urgent project.
Project Alternatives:
Alternate A:
Note: If project includes the construction of a new treatment plant or upgrade to existing plant, please explain regionalization options here.
As proposed,this project involves the extension of the community/RWRA collection system to this neighborhood requiring abandonment of an existing package plant and major rehabilitation/repair efforts done to the collection system within the neighborhood. This will necessitate the extension of a sewer interceptor (9,300) feet and the construction of a new pump station along with a 3,300 force main in lieu of package plant service.
Alternate B:
The replacement of the existing package plant, combined with major rehabilitation/repair efforts to the collection system within the neighborhood. This will require the Public Service Commission to designate a receiver to take ownership of the system.

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:

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).

Pump Station elimination- One aspect of this project is to extend gravity sewer service to the northern most portion of the project that presently is served by a pump station that pumps to the south gravity system that then conveys to the existing package plant. Approximately 52 homes are served by this pump station that will be eliminated. I/I correction — Several measures have been identified within the existing collection sewer system including rehab to manholes and pipelines that will reduce l/I in the system; thus, reducing pumping and treatment costs.

Component
Cost
Item 1:

Item 13:
Educational activities and demonstration projects for water or energy efficiency.*
Item 14:
Projects that achieve the goals/objectives of utility asset management plans.*
Item 15:

Capital Improvement Plan - This project is contained within RWRA’s Five-Year Capital Plan. This Plan is updated annually. It is anticipated that RWRA will establish a construction sub-district as the financing mechanism to generate the necessary funding for this initiative. An existing rate structure is in place for the operation and maintenance of this system, once constructed and connected. Allocated funds for rehab arid replacement - The Five-Year Capital Plan shows this project to be completed in Fisca1 Year 2020. This project schedule has been accelerated considerab1y due to the current package plant owner’s intention to abandon his facilities as outlined in the project description above. The projected project scope and costs have increased significantly above the Five-Year Capital Plan estimate due to an updated understanding of the existing sewer system, including major improvements needed within the existing collection system and the need to extend interceptor sewers in order to eliminate the pump s
