WASTEWATER CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS
39
The projects described in this section are related to constructing, rehabilitating or
maintenance/repair of sanitary and combined sewers, improvements to existing treatment
plants, and the reduction of inflow and infiltration into the sewer system. These types of
projects help alleviate sewer backups, address regulatory issues, enable the removal of
Sanitary and Combined Sewer Overflows, and rebuild part of our aging infrastructure
system. Twenty-six (26) projects are to be funded at a total estimated cost of
$121,685,000.
The District's revenue source for constructing the majority of these projects is the
Sanitary Replacement Fund, which receives money from wastewater user charges and
from the sale of revenue bonds. The remaining projects will be funded with revenues
from various Operation, Maintenance, Construction, and Improvement (OMCI) Funds,
Construction Funds, Special Funds, or the Improvement Fund. The property taxes
collected within the boundaries of OMCI Taxing Districts must be spent for
improvements within their specific areas of collection. The Construction Fund and
Improvement Fund receive revenues from various connection fees.
