Order No: 900196 Water Meter Replacement & Testing Renewal Annual Programming Ward: CW Water meters have a manufacturer projected service life of 20 years. The previous small meter change-out program took place between 1986 and 2000. As such, the meters from 1986 should be due for replacement in 2007. Over the years, water meters have been tested extensively, and their tested accuracy shows that it is not necessary to replace them in 2007, the expected service life will be longer than 20 years. However, the meter remote readers (the black box located on building outside walls) are failing at an unacceptable and increasing pace. A business case report was prepared and approved by Council on June 26, 2006 (report # ACS2006-CRS-FIN-0029, Automated Meter reading (AMR) Radio Frequency (RF) Technology). The report demonstrated the replacement of the manual reading system by an automatic meter reading system, using radio frequency, is cost effective. The program projects that in the next 4 years, all manual remote readers will be replaced by automatic meter reading, and the accuracy of the meters will continue to be assessed in order to determine the most appropriate meter change out start date. The meters are not expected to need replacement before 2011.



Order No: 902043 Water Loss Control Program Renewal Annual Requirement Ward: CW The Water Loss Program aims at reducing the water system losses i.e. (leakage). By reducing water loss, the City can take best advantage of existing infrastructure and available resources and save money from reduced production and distribution costs. This annual program involves several ongoing initiatives which include Active Leakage Control, Speed and Quality of Repairs, Pressure Management, and Pipeline Asset Management. In 2007, district metering strategies will be further developed and implemented in conjunction with the implementation of a pilot program using automated meter readers which will enable the City to target leakage more effectively in the system and respond quickly to reduce the overall loss of water. The overall program is expected to result in substantial water leakage and impact operational requirements such as reduced energy to transmit water and reduced chemical requirements to treat water.

Order No: 900202 Condition Assessment of Critical System Links Renewal Annual Programming Ward: CW This program will investigate the reliability and serviceability of the water distribution system's key transmission mains and their related appurtenances (i.e. valves, chambers,). Assessment of these facilities is imperative to ensure that the integrity of the water system remains intact to ensure serviceability and to ensure a continued reliable service to a large urban population. These mains and appurtenances are the backbone of the system. The scope of the project will be comprised of the following components: 1. Assessment of water supply transmission system in term of service reliability to significant service areas throughout the central water distribution system resulting in reliability improvement recommendations all within appropriate financial constraints; 2. Condition assessment of key transmission mains and appurtenances through inspection and/or field testing with recommendations for additions, replacement or rehabilitation; 3. Review of alternative supply routes during the implementation of planned replacement and/or rehabilitation works (i.e. assessment of the impacts of temporary outages on the customer and overall system supply); and 4. Development of contingency plans outlining procedures and protocols to deal with failures or outages of various system components. In 2007, the assessment will focus on the current infrastructure and facilities in pressure zone 1W which includes breaks within the Bay, College, and Somerset Wards.

Order No: 901135 Water Dist Sys Imp / Intersection Imp Renewal Annual Requirement Ward: CW The City of Ottawa's water distribution system consists of over 2,700 km of watermains, 39,900 valves, and 17,100 hydrants. This program involves localized spot repairs and watermain replacements to achieve operational efficiencies in the system. Other components of the program include: access improvements; hydrant and valve replacements; installation of flusher units; a swabbing program to improve water quality; and system identification improvements such as the installation of hydrant and valve markers. Also included is the purchase of professional services required to implement these initiatives. These initiatives will ensure that the existing watermain infrastructure and appurtenances are being added, replaced, or upgraded once normal life expectancy has been surpassed and to ensure that the existing distribution system is being properly maintained and upgraded in accordance with good operating strategies and practices. This is an ongoing program.



Order No: 902958 Service Post Rehabilitation Renewal Annual Requirement Ward: CW There are approximately 190,000 water services installed in the system, each of them with an individual shut off valve. The service post is a tube that allows access to the individual shut off valve from the surface. Each year, approximately 600 service posts have to be repaired or replaced. This project will rehabilitate these non-working service posts by using vacuum excavation, a method that cuts cost by more than half. Preventive maintenance performed on service posts will avoid costly emergency repairs. Improved operating and maintenance efficiency will result. Customer response and service will also be improved. A defective post at one location, if not repaired by the vactor excavation method in the summer months at a unit cost of $550 may need to be repaired by backhoe excavation during the winter months at a minimum unit cost of $1,300.


256




Order No: 902959 Cathodic Protection Renewal Annual Requirement Ward: CW The water distribution system consists of over 2,700 km of watermains. It is important to protect and maintain this costly infrastructure. The Cathodic Protection program is a proactive maintenance program to extend the life of newer watermains that are showing signs of premature corrosion failure. Anodes are installed onto the watermain pipe network to prolong the useful life of the infrastructure by acting as a sacrificial material, thereby protecting existing watermains from corrosion. This approach will allow the City to direct its capital fund resources to the more critical and mostly older areas of the water distribution system that are in need of total replacement. Key elements of the program include condition assessment, installation, monitoring, and testing of the anodes after installation to measure their effectiveness and predict life cycle expectations. Major planned work in 2007 and for the next two year forecast will be directed towards the Kanata and Stittsville areas of the watermain network.

Order No: 903445 Vars Treatment Improvements Project Renewal Ward: 19 The Vars Communal Water System was originally designed and constructed with a granular activated carbon treatment system. This system proved to be not completely effective for iron removal and had a high operating cost. Installation of a green sand (GS) filter (at 50% capacity) was completed in 2003. A second GS filter was added in 2005/6 and took the GS capacity to 100% of station capacity. This improvement also significantly reduces system operating costs. Additional work is required in 2007 to provide increased filter backwash capacity, with the addition of a new expanded tile drainage field, including revised control programming for backwash pumps. Modifications are also proposed to convert the diesel drive fire pump to a duty filter backwash pump. Permanent platforms are required around the filters to allow the remote operator access to valving/piping and perform maintenance inspections without fall arrest equipment.

Order No: 900965 Drinking Water Services Fleet Growth Ward: CW Drinking Water Services requires a total of six new vehicles. The Water Loss Program requires a Sprinter van estimated at $70K, plus fit up costs of $20K, for field work and to transport specialized equipment for district metering. A pick-up truck of $40K is needed for the Hydrant Winter Inspections/Cathodic Protection Program. It will also be used in the Summer Program for which a vehicle is currently leased. A step van is needed to support the Critical Valves Inspection Program. The vehicle will assist in identifying, inspecting and exercising large valves classified as operationally critical. The estimated cost is $150K for the van, $40K for a valve turning machine, fit up costs of $30K, and a compressor/generator of $30K. The RPAM/Water section requires a pick up truck at an estimated cost of $35K. The group currently shares a vehicle and this has proven to be inefficient and costly. Also needed for grounds maintenace at the Lemieux WPP, is a $20K utility type vehicle with dump box.

Order No: 900988 Drinking Water Quality Management System Development Annual programming Ward: CW The Ministry of the Environment has released the new Drinking Water Quality Management Standard (DWQMS) required on all Drinking Water Systems in the province of Ontario. This is one of the more important recommendations tabled by Justice O'Connor's Walkerton Report. The City has retained a consultant to begin the development of operational plans in compliance with the DWQMS based on the MOE's new standard. This assignment completes the plan which is only one component of the quality management system required. Additional work and assignments will be required in 2008 to meet the standard requirements. Recent circulations of draft DWQMS compliance timelines indicate the City must be in compliance by July 2008. It is necessary to continually maintain and upgrade these Management Systems to remain in compliance. To maintain the City's Systems, it is anticipated that two (2) FTEs, at a $143,000 annual salary will be required.

Order No: 900206 Water Efficiency Strategic Initiatives Annual Requirement Ward: CW This project evaluates and assesses current industry trends regarding Water Efficiency Strategies in Ontario. The purpose of this project is to establish the appropriate initiatives by which the City can embark upon in order to develop effective water efficiency programs to provide water demand management tools. The benefits of such tools are effective public use of valuable resources, better managed replacement programs that provide reliable information to project managers that can delay and possibly eliminate the need to expand system capacity solely based on demand criteria. Public education programs and water fixture replacement (toilet tanks, faucets, aerators, shower heads) initiatives are examples of possible methods to reduce system demands and increase conservation. Approved June 2006 City's Water Efficiency Plan (2007-2009) Phase I.
