Table 5.3 New or Refined IRP Programs 2013-2043<br />
Program Description Capital<br />
($2012)<br />
Enhanced Overflow<br />
Control<br />
• New program to control selected (19 non-growth and 9 growth already<br />
considered in RWWFP) overflows to a uniform level of 10 overflows<br />
per average year.<br />
• Program is in addition to the RWWFP, which will offset the impact of<br />
growth on overflows.<br />

Programs<br />
• New program to control nutrient (N, P) discharges to sensitive or<br />
limited receiving waters at 10 WWTFs<br />
• Two options were considered:<br />
o Modified RWWFP - upgrade 9 WWTFs - Wellington, Frame, Mill<br />
Cove, North Preston, Aerotech, Middle Musquodoboit, Lockview-<br />
MacPherson, Uplands Park and Springfield Lake to LOT in addition<br />
to the BLT upgrade already under way<br />
o RWWFP - upgrade of 8 WWTFs plus BLT upgrade under way and in<br />
longer-term consolidate BLT into Herring Cove WWTF and<br />
Springfield Lake WWTF into Mill Cove WWTF as per RWWFP<br />
• Additional projects beyond those in Five-Year Capital Plan for<br />
upgrading current WWTFs for compliance with Permit to Operate<br />
• New program responding to Canadian Federal WSER program<br />
requiring upgrade of the 3 HHSP facilities to secondary treatment.<br />
• Enhanced -asset renewal based on - risk-based composite asset<br />
renewal program balancing failure consequences and renewal<br />
expenditures. The composite specifies an individual level of renewal<br />
for each asset category.<br />
• An enhanced program updated through the IRP that integrated<br />
transmission main replacement with growth related expansion<br />
requirements.<br />
• An enhanced program initiated under the Five-Year Capital Plan to<br />
develop <strong>Halifax</strong>-specific I/I sources, reduction feasibility and reduction<br />
costs data at a number of pilot sites.<br />
• A new climate change assessment program intended to examine the<br />
impacts of climate change on <strong>Halifax</strong> Water current infrastructure,<br />
operations and future design requirements<br />
• A new stormwater quality assessment program designed to assess<br />
likely future stormwater quality management requirements<br />
• A number of new planning programs providing comprehensive input to<br />
future IRPs including:<br />
o Water Master Plan addressing the system needs for regulatory<br />
compliance, asset renewal and growth<br />
o Wastewater Master Plan addressing the system needs for<br />
regulatory compliance, asset renewal and growth<br />
o Wet Weather System Plan presenting demand reduction (I/I) and<br />
overflow control strategies as input to the Wastewater Master Plan<br />
o Lead Services Replacement Program<br />
o Water Efficiency Program<br />
