FYE 14 Budget prelim - City of Norman

CITY OF NORMANThe final component of these planned capital improvements is the expansion of the SewerUtility’s treatment capacity, to an ultimate capacity of 21.5 million gallons per day. TheWastewater Master Plan anticipates an additional 5 MGD to be constructed at the existing SouthCanadian Water Reclamation Treatment Plant and 4.5 MGD to be constructed at a Little Riverbasin site which has been purchased by the Utility. Preliminary phases (engineering design,environmental impact studies, etc.) of this treatment expansion began at the South Canadian plant infiscal year 2010-2011 with funding from the Wastewater Fund (sewer rate payers), remainingSewer Sales Tax proceeds, and sewer excise tax on new development. Construction of thetreatment plant expansion will require an adjustment to the Utility’s rate structure (note: the NormanCity Charter requires voter approval of increases to utility rates and is scheduled to begin in 2013).The Water Reclamation Utility will also begin preliminary engineering design and environmentalstudies toward development of the Little River Water Reclamation Facility during FYE 2014.ANNUAL BUDGET90
