Committee reviews $18M capital plan; Tall Cedars distribution replacement and interconnection projects prioritized
Summary
Staff presented a five-year sewer and water capital plan totaling roughly $18 million in proposed spending, highlighting a $4 million Tall Cedars distribution replacement program and an interconnection pipeline project to improve hydraulic connectivity between Swiss Village and Madden Creek; staff discussed grant and debt options (SRF, USDA).
Staff presented an updated five-year capital plan and an amended water capital sheet correcting math errors; they said no new projects were added but some schedules and sums were updated. Presenter said Tall Cedars water distribution replacement is a $4,000,000 program for 2025 (60% design and some construction) and that other projects (Rubicon wells, PRVs, tank rehab) have moved in schedule depending on readiness and grant availability.
On interconnection work, staff explained the goal is to improve hydraulic capacity between Tall Swiss (Swiss Village) and Madden Creek so systems can operate bi-directionally. They emphasized the work focuses on identifying hydraulic pinch-points and targeted upgrades rather than wholesale new mains. Staff estimated nearly $18,000,000 in total proposed capital expenditures, much of which would be offset by debt financing or grants; options discussed included SRF (longer timing but better rates) and USDA reimbursement loans (district advances cash and is reimbursed after completion).
