<strong>Halifax</strong> Water Integrated Resource Plan<br />
Integrated Resource Plan Drivers and Objectives<br />
4.4.1 Asset Inventory and Replacement Value<br />
For purposes of evaluating the current asset renewal program the replacement value of<br />
the <strong>Halifax</strong> Water assets were estimated. The cost estimation procedures are presented<br />
in Volume 3 Appendix C. Table 4.4 shows the estimated value of water, wastewater and<br />
stormwater assets. The total value of assets currently under management by <strong>Halifax</strong><br />
Water is approximately $6.6 billion (i.e. $2012 replacement cost). This does not include<br />
buildings, land, IT, vehicles and other equipment. Approximately, $5.4 billion or 81% of<br />
the total is associated with linear assets (e.g. sewers and watermains) while $1.1 billion<br />
or 17% is associated with point facilities such as storage, treatment and pumping<br />
facilities. The remainder is associated with various appurtenances such as valves.<br />

Notes:<br />
1. Due to data limitations linear infrastructure lengths are estimated (see Unit Cost Summaries - Volume 3<br />
Appendix C and Data Collection/Gaps - Volume 3 Appendix D)<br />
2. Based on costing procedures presented in Unit Cost Summaries, <strong>Halifax</strong> Water Integrated Resource Plan, Volume<br />
3 Appendix C.<br />
3. Replacement cost of stormwater pond inlet/outlet structures.<br />
