<strong>Halifax</strong> Water Integrated Resource Plan<br />

IRP Implementation Plan<br />

Under the Recommended IRP, proposed expenditures would be about $1,427 million in<br />

the 2023 to 2032 period and $1,143 million in the period 2033 to 2043 or average<br />

expenditures of about $142 million/yr. and $114 million/yr. respectively.<br />

Approximately $1,125 million of the total in the Recommended IRP 2023 to 2032 budget<br />

is associated with wastewater projects including the WSER mandated $286.9 million<br />

harbour facility upgrades to secondary treatment, Eastern Passage sewer system<br />

improvements, and implementation of a number of RWWFP projects. The wastewater<br />

capital program for 2033 to 2043 is about $716 million. The major wastewater project<br />

occurs at the end of this period with the $173 million Enhanced Overflow Control<br />

Program.<br />

The 2023 to 2032 water infrastructure budget is $231.2 million and the 2033 to 2043<br />

budget is $293 million. Major projects include transmission upgrades for capacity and<br />

system security enhancement, additional/upgraded storage facilities. The storm system<br />

has expenditures of $43.3 million and $105.6 million in the two ten year periods. The<br />

projects are associated with pipe replacement. The relatively low investment in storm<br />

system projects reflects the physically limited nature of the system and the relatively<br />

young age. It probably also reflects the lack of knowledge regarding system conditions<br />

and capacities and as additional asset information is gathered, it is anticipated that<br />

investment requirements for the storm system will increase.<br />
