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

Executive Summary<br />

separation, sewer twinning, installation of deep storm sewers, and a range of solutions<br />

on the private portion of the network. The formal wet weather planning and I/I<br />

reduction pilot programs proposed in the current IRP will build on the preliminary<br />

analysis undertaken by <strong>Halifax</strong> Water for developing a deep storm sewer installation<br />

program and the current stormwater inflow reduction (SIR) program in place to address<br />

private side contributions to the system. The pilot program will inform the development<br />

of an I/I program for inclusion and funding in later years.<br />

Based on the extensive analysis carried out through the IRP preparation a<br />

Recommended IRP was identified.<br />

The Recommended IRP components and timing are presented in Table ES-4.<br />

Recommended IRP Components and Timing<br />

IRP Objective<br />

1. Meet Current Nova Scotia<br />

Environment WWTF Permits to<br />

Operate.<br />

2. Meet Current Nova Scotia<br />

Environment WSP Permits to<br />

Operate.<br />

3. Meet Current Overflow<br />

Compliance.<br />

Recommended IRP Strategy<br />

• Five years to implement current WWTF compliance<br />

requirements.<br />

• Currently in full compliance. Continue current WQMP<br />

program and integrate into Water Master Plan.<br />

• Ten years to implement current overflow compliance<br />

requirements.<br />

Compliance<br />

4. Meet Future WWTF Compliance. • Twenty years to implement future WSER compliance<br />

requirements for three HHSP WWTFs.<br />

• Ten years to implement future nutrient compliance<br />

requirements for 10 WTTFs by upgrading 8 WWTFs<br />

(Wellington, Frame, Mill Cove, North Preston, Aerotech<br />

Middle Musquodoboit, Lockview-MacPherson Uplands<br />

Park) plus Beechville-Lakeside-Timberlea (BLT) in the<br />

short term and consolidating Springfield Lake into Mill<br />

Cove WWTF and BLT WWTF into the Herring Cove WWTF<br />

in the long-term as per the RWWFP.<br />

5. Meet Future Drinking Water<br />

Compliance.<br />

6. Meet Future Overflow<br />

Compliance.<br />

7. Meet Future Stormwater Quality<br />

Compliance.<br />

• Five years for Five-Year Capital Plan projects.<br />

• New program to control 59 overflows to a uniform level<br />

of 10 overflows per average year. Program is in addition<br />

to the RWWFP, which will offset the impact of growth on<br />

overflows.<br />

• Thirty years to implement enhanced overflow control.<br />

• Three years for stormwater quality assessment program<br />

development.<br />
