Halifax Water Integrated Resource Plan Appendices 4.1.4 Screening of Supply & Demand-Side Options TOR Requirement 1. Halifax Water will establish performance metrics for the supply-side and demand-side options. 2. IRP supply-side and demand-side options will undergo a screening test to determine whether they will advance to a more detailed analysis as part of the resource plans. The screening will focus on: system optimization, system reliability, redundancy and flexibility, feasibility, regulatory compliance, need and ability to obtain regulatory approval, and total cost. IRP Reference Section 5.4 Section 5.0 Fourteen specific objectives were elaborated for the three IRP drivers (Regulatory Compliance, Asset Renewal, and Growth). The objectives reflect the current and anticipated regulatory compliance requirements for the three Halifax Water infrastructure systems (Objectives 1 through 7, Table 5.1, Regulatory Compliance and Asset Renewal Related Objectives) and upgrade needs to address system reliability (Objective 9, Table 5.1), as well as current and future capacity (Objective 10, 13 and 14, Table 5.1). The IRP financial plan lists recommended projects and upgrade needs under each of the specific IRP objectives. Through the synthesis of existing, refined and new programs with IRP drivers, 28 initial resource plans were developed. These were evolved through into 18 intermediate plans, and 10 refined plans. A short list of four plans was selected from the 10 refined plans. The Recommended Plan was selected from the short list. 4.1.5 Financial Considerations TOR Requirement 1. IRP process will consider the financial impacts of declining water usage on rates and the revenue stream. 2. IRP process will consider the availability of funding assistance through federal and provincial programs.

Halifax Water Integrated Resource Plan Appendices TOR Requirement 3. IRP process will consider timing impact of capital plan implementation (effect on budgets). 4. IRP process will appropriate debt policy, in coordination with the UARB-approved Debt Study (underway with completion date of October 2012). 5. IRP process will consider costs associated with additional staff, information needs, tools, and technology to support capital program growth. IRP Reference Section 5.5 This will be completed in subsequent analysis in the Debt Study/ rate submission Section 7.2 A number of programs /projects did consider variations in timing implementation. These programs/projects were in all cases associated with wastewater compliance issues. The variations reflected the uncertainties in desired regulatory implementation timing. The exception is a number of current WWTF compliance related upgrades that were incorporated with timing fixed by the Five-Year Capital Plan sometimes adjusted by discussions with Halifax Water staff. This was due to the advanced state of these projects. A significant number of new planning initiatives all have activity within the first 3 years of the Recommended IRP. While the absolute program is not particularly large these planning activities will require significant participation on the part of Halifax Water staff and will likely require either additional resources or some prioritization of the activities. Considering the linked nature of the planning culminating in the next IRP update and the need for considerable additional detail supporting the IRP update, the planning activities will require additional resources. A number of enterprise projects are included in the IRP financial plan including a computerized maintenance management system, a data collection project, fleet upgrade, GIS data program implementation, miscellaneous equipment upgrades, SCADA enhancements and master planning, etc. Revision: 2012-10-29 Integrated Resource Plan –Appendices G-17 October 31 2012 Page 229 of 272
