<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 />

RECOMMENDED IRP<br />
Recommended IRP Overview<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 />
