Your Worship and Members of Council,
SUBJECT: PROPOSED 2011 OPERATING AND CAPITAL BUDGETS
SAINT JOHN WATER (WATER AND SEWERAGE UTILITY FUND
THREE ESSENTIAL SERVICES
The City of Saint John
Saint John Water (the water and wastewater utility of the City of Saint John) provides three
essential services important to public health, the environment, community development,
fire protection, and the economy:
■ Drinking Water ■ Industrial Water 0 Wastewater
These services involve extensive infrastructure systems. Effective delivery requires strong
governance leadership, responsible management, regular testing and analysis, proficient
operation of complex facilities, organized maintenance procedures, modern technology
and planned life cycle management of tangible assets. The service profiles are attached.
Utility services are funded by ratepayers (of the utility) on a user -pay basis in accordance
with stipulations of the Province's Municipalities Act. Budgets for water and wastewater
have to be balanced; revenues must equal the cost of operating the utility.
The purpose of this report is to propose the 2011 Operating and Capital Budgets for the
Water and Sewerage Utility Fund and to recommend user rates for 2011. The report also
offers projections on future budget years.
BUILDING A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE
The City of Saint John has a very positive story to tell about the progress being made in
environmental protection, safe drinking water and improved reliability of infrastructure.
Over a relatively short period of years, water and wastewater services have been greatly
improved and the needed transformation is continuing. Despite occasional setbacks and
the problems inherent to old systems, Saint John is investing in building a sustainable
future; one with reliable, high - quality water utility services for many future generations.
This work is providing a solid foundation for Plan Saint John.

Residential Flat Rate
DECEMBER 15TH, 2010
PAGE 3
Residential customers (three units or less) pay for service at a flat rate for water and
wastewater services - regardless of the amount of water consumed. This residential rate
would rise by $72 to $936 in 2011 or 8.3% (Table 3). The wastewater (sanitary sewer)
portion is 122% of the water portion.

Metered Rate Structure
Water charges consist of two parts (industry standard): a measured volumetric component
that varies with usage and a fixed portion to cover utility costs irrespective of the amount
of water used. All water supplied to Saint John properties for purposes other than three or
less dwelling units must be metered. The volumetric rate component (water consumed)
for metered customers would change as shown in Table 4. The fixed charge portion is
proposed to remain unchanged in 2011, although these should increase in 2012.

STRUCTURE OF USER RATES
Saint John Rate Principles
DECEMBER 15TH, 2010
PAGE 4
Flowing from a comprehensive analysis of rates completed in 2008 and through
its endorsement of the Action Plan for Safe, Clean Drinking Water in 2009,
Common Council established 10 principles to guide policy and rate setting:
1 . Equity (Fairness and User Pay) ... for all customers
2. Revenue Adequacy ... provide fully for utility revenue requirements
3. Legality ... in accordance with statutes and regulations
4. Water Use Efficiency ... meet the actual user needs and minimize waste
5. Water Source Sustainability ... ensure the safe yield of source supplies
6. Technical /Administrative Feasibility ... straight forward to apply
7. Affordability ... enhance access and cost control for all customers
8. Public Acceptance ... reflect actual system costs, simple to explain
9. Same Service, Same Price ... users pay same price for same level of service
10. Sustainable Development ... realize capacity of resources to support growth
Utility customers range from individual households to businesses to hospitals and very
large industrial enterprises; approximately 16,850 residential customers and 2,930 ICI
(industrial, commercial and institutional) metered accounts. The City of Saint John General
Fund also pays for services related to fire hydrants, firefighting flow capacity and the
storm drainage component of combined (sanitary and storm) sewers.
Utility rates need to reflect the cost of services, including the investments being made to
renew and upgrade infrastructure. How valuable are these services - when compared to
the cost of cable TV, telephone, internet, fuel oil, electricity, and bottled water?
Pricing must generate revenues sufficient to cover the full cost of service delivery -
operations and maintenance, regulation, capital construction and related debt servicing,
environmental protection and emergency response. User -rates that reflect the true value
of services distribute costs fairly and equitably among the diverse family of utility
customers.
Fundamentals Two things are fundamental to proper cost allocation and, hence,
fair and equitable user - rates: [11 sound principles upon which to base the system of
charges and [2] a logical approach for the structure and calculation of rates.
Comprehensive rate studies (2002 and 2008) helped refine the utility's pricing policies.

The Review of Rates and Rate Structure Options (2008), prepared on behalf of the City by
RV Anderson and Associates, provided a rates model with the following components:
• Two -part rates - "fixed" plus a "volumetric" component
• Fixed charges - by meter size
• DBR - declining 3 -block rates structure for metered customers
• Flat rate consumption component estimated at 318 m3 /household /year
• Sewerage surcharge - 122% of water cost (cost of wastewater service)
• Common Council - rate setting authority (Water and Sewerage By -Law)
• Sustainability - "Capital from Operating" funding for infrastructure renewal
• Watershed costs - recognized in both potable and raw water charges
• Various miscellaneous charges - to ensure cost recovery
BUSINESS OF SAINT JOHN WATER
The proposed Operating Budget for Saint john Water in 2011 is almost $35.5 million; the
Capital Budget for water and wastewater system improvements set at $33,770,000.
The water and wastewater utility is undergoing transformational change. Successive
Councils have brought community focus to the importance of its services. Harbour clean-
up is removing huge amounts of raw sewage from our water environment, long "taken for
granted" infrastructure is being renewed, and drinking water is being given the highest
priority attention. There has also been far reaching operational change - in areas from
water quality and environmental monitoring to staff training and development to
innovation and technology to improved operating and maintenance procedures. Formal
operator certifications meet and, in fact, exceed required levels.
Quality standards and service reliability have another side; assured revenues and sound
management of those finances are central considerations to the overall equation. The
"business side" of the utility is key to the success of service delivery and to securing the
utility's long -term Sustainability. The profile of this "business side" needs to be raised.
Among the business (financial management and administrative) matters on the utility's
agenda are those summarized below.
Funding Agreements The Safe Clean Drinking Water Program depends on firm funding
commitments from the Province of New Brunswick and the Government of Canada. As
Council understands, securing that funding support requires planning, regular reporting,
correspondence, and extensive consultations. Staff support will be critical to Council's
efforts on securing the necessary funding agreements with other levels of government.
Water and Sewerage By -Law Several matters of policy need attention and clarification.
YOUR WATER ... VOTRE EAU
PROPOSED 2011 OPERATING AND CAPITAL BUDGETS DECEMBER 15TH, 2010
a / SAINT JOHN WATER (WATER AND SEWERAGE UTILITY FUND) PAGE G
Land Acquisition Along with technical and financial aspects of major infrastructure
projects, land /easement acquisitions are essential to project success. Property needs and
costs related thereto for watershed protection, new water treatment facilities, wastewater
collection facilities and other works will continue to demand dedicated attention.
Automatic Meter Reading (AMR) A proven automated system for reading meters and
reporting data is important for reasons of efficiency and water use management.
Oil Refinery Water Charges Councils have long sought to have all customers pay for
utility services through the rate structure established in the Water and Sewerage By -Law.
A legal process to resolve a long- outstanding issue for Irving Oil's original 1958 refinery
connection (20 -30% of consumption) has been initiated by the City. The refinery pays fully
at By -Law rates for about 70 -80% of its water use - through a year 2000 (Refinery Upgrade
Project) connection. The last mutually agreed upon rates for the 1958 connection were set
in April 1995 for the 10 -year period from July 2 °d, 1990 to July 151, 2000.
Irving Pulp & Paper Water charges for Irving Pulp and Paper Limited (IPP) is a somewhat
different matter; the company being serviced primarily through a separate, untreated
(raw) water connection from the Spruce Lake source. It also currently has access to the
East potable system through a connection over the Reversing Falls Bridge. Water charges
for IPP are also covered by a 1958 agreement and have been unresolved since expiration
of the 10 -year term ending March 3151, 2005. Resolution is being pursued through a cost -
of- service analysis for a West Industrial System (see below).
West Industrial System The structure of rates long utilized by the City of Saint John
has sought to cover all users under a single "rates umbrella ". However, users and the
water they consume are not all the same; some major customers are serviced with raw
industrial water (no treatment or disinfection). To further build on the service -based
budget approach established by Council in 2009, the water system is being looked at
differently; in fact, as several systems. The West Industrial System is the first such
"separate" system being considered for purposes of asset management, cost allocation
and user - charges. A separate report will review the approach and make recommendations.
Town of Rothesay The City provides water to the Kennebecasis Park area of Rothesay.
The town has installed infrastructure and intends to service this area on its own; in
contravention to a legal agreement with the City for the provision of water. This will have
serious service implications for users within our community; not to mention significant
revenue implications for the utility.
Asset Management As important as the high profile wastewater and water upgrades
being made is adequate and sustained investment in infrastructure renewal; to maximize
service life (and, hence, optimize return on investment). Good asset management helps
Councils set aside the right amounts for the right things at the right time; a policy of "pay
as you go" in every annual Operating Budget. Debt financing for the ongoing care of
tangible assets is not a sustainable practice and, as such, is not fiscally prudent.

DRINKING WATER SERVICE
Good physical and mental health depends on
consuming adequate quantities of good quality
drinking water. Drinking water is essential for life
and good health, and plays a key role in the
prevention of disease. The quality of drinking
water must be assured.
The Drinking Water Service incorporates source
supply, treatment (currently only disinfection and
fluoridation), transmission and distribution,
testing, administration of the service, billing and
collections. The service is regulated under New
Brunswick's Water Quality Regulation - Clean
Environment Act and Potable Water Regulation -
Clean Water Act.
An Approval to Operate Drinking Water
Distribution and Treatment Facilities, issued by
the Minister of Environment, requires the City to
assure drinking water safety through a system of
six protective barriers:
■ Source (watershed) protection;
■ Drinking water treatment;
■ Operations and maintenance (including
employee training and development);
■ Monitoring and alarms;
■ Distribution system management; and
■ Emergency response.

Saint john continues to improve its ability to assure safe, clean drinking water. The Safe
Clean Drinking Water Program is a multi- faceted initiative to assure high quality potable
water for the community. The absence of adequate facilities for water treatment is a
fundamental deficiency; one that seriously limits the capability to deal
effectively with waterborne hazards. The improvement program
.� includes a 100 MLD conventional water filtration treatment
4 facility to be located on City -owned land south of Little River
Reservoir, 20 system infrastructure projects necessary for
treatment implementation, industrial separation (for service to
the Irving Oil refinery) and five water use efficiency measures tied
directly to the sizing (and cost) of facilities and infrastructure.

INDUSTRIAL WATER SERVICE
The Industrial Water Service provides untreated process water for heavy industry.
The West Industrial System serves two customers from the Spruce Lake source: the NB
Power Generating Station at Coleson Cove and Irving Pulp & Paper (IPP) near the Reversing
Falls Bridge. Water delivered to Coleson Cove flows through a separate intake and a
dedicated 4.9 kilometre pipeline. The industrial water to IPP is provided through a shared
intake with the municipal potable system and transported through a dedicated 8.5
kilometre raw water pipeline.
The West Industrial System includes inter -basin water transfers from the Musquash
watershed (370 km') via the East Musquash pumping station, a 4.5 kilometre pipeline,
Menzies Lake and then overland by natural watercourse to Spruce Lake.
Water from a dedicated Latimer Lake intake can be directed via a flume (East spillage
system) to a natural overland watercourse to replenish the Little River system. Irving Paper
and the Irving Oil refinery use water from Little River for industrial purposes.

The Wastewater Service is a public service for
the collection and treatment of municipal
wastewater effluents. Domestic wastewater is
collected from residential and commercial
sources and conveyed to treatment facilities
through an extensive network of collection mains
(sanitary and combined), lift stations and
forcemains. Wastewater is treated to meet
standards set out in Approvals to Operate issued
by the Minister of Environment.
Municipal wastewater effluents are a major
source of water pollution in Canada; a hazard to
human health, aquatic life and the environment.
New Brunswick is a party to the Canada -wide
Strategy for the Management of Municipal
Wastewater Effluents (adopted 2010) that sets
out a harmonized regulatory framework for
discharges from treatment.
■ Thousands of manholes, other An essential precursor to meeting obligations
equipment and minor facilities under this Strategy is full treatment of collected
sanitary sewage flows. Saint John is on a clear
path to achieving that full treatment through its Harbour Clean -Up program.

Saint John Harbour Clean -Up
Harbour Clean -Up organizes the Wastewater Service into three major sewer schemes:
Lancaster (West), Millidgeville (North), and Eastern (East and South Central).
The Eastern Wastewater Treatment Facility (35,000 m3 /day), under construction and to be
commissioned in July 201 1 , will serve the East catchment areas presently handled by the
Hazen Creek and Marsh Creek plants (to be decommissioned in 2011), plus substantial
flows from currently untreated areas (South Central and Old East). The Millidgeville WWTP
(upgraded 2003) is a 10,000 m3 /day activated sludge secondary treatment facility that
services the northern part of the city. The Lancaster WWTP is a 23,000 m3 /day aerated
lagoon that also provides secondary level treatment to areas west of the St. John River. All
three facilities have the capacity to handle future growth and development.
The small Monte Cristo rotating biological contactor plant has already been eliminated
through the Harbour Clean -Up program, with users linked into the Lancaster system. Two
other minor local schemes remain in operation for the Morna and Greenwood areas.
Upon completion of the 2011 Capital wastewater treatment projects (Harbour Clean -Up),
progress is estimated to be at about: 98% North ( Millidgeville); 82% West (Lancaster); and
71 % East /South Central (Eastern). Saint John is approaching its 100% treatment goal.
Management of MWWE / Sewer Use By -Law
With the extensive changes to environmental regulations resulting from the Canada -wide
Strategy for the Management of Municipal Wastewater Effluents, a Sewer Use By -Law for
Saint John will establish necessary discharge standards for system users in our city. As
sewers can be seriously misused, the management of wastewater effluents requires
interventions ranging from source control to treatment to end of pipe diffusion. Controls
on what goes into the system ensure that sewers function reliably, treatment processes
are not compromised, and the environment and public health are protected.
Based on a model by -law developed by the Canadian Council of Ministers of the
Environment (CCME), Saint John Water is developing a Sewer Use By -Law in conjunction
with the City Solicitor's office. This municipal regulatory framework will enable the City of
Saint John to meet its obligations under the Canada -wide Strategy. It will set standards
for discharges, with a "phasing in" period to give businesses (primarily) time to adapt and
change inappropriate waste discharge practices. A substantial Saint John Water and Legal
staff commitment is required.
PLANNED OPERATING HIGHLIGHTS
The underlying objective of all utility operating programs is delivery of safe, reliable and
good quality services - at the best possible cost to ratepayers. In formulating the 2011
budget, Saint John Water remained within the overall 3% guideline set by Council.

Allocations deal with needed operational improvements, expanded infrastructure systems
and inflationary increases for goods and services. All pension plan scenarios are covered.
Unidirectional Flushing (UDF) Unidirectional flushing scientifically plans, models
and carries out hydrant flushing to clean watermains; an essential part of watermain
preventive maintenance. Since its introduction in 2005, over 75% of the water system has
been modeled and flushed through the UDF program - including all of West Saint John,
East Saint John, and the South Central Peninsula. The program will continue in these areas
and expand into the area north of the Throughway up to the intersection of Millidge
Avenue and Somerset Street in 2011. The remaining area of Millidgeville will be
incorporated in 2012; bringing the UDF process to 100% coverage of the city - as
originally planned. The key benefits of UDF are effectiveness, efficient water use, valuable
data on water quality and system problems (e.g. broken valves, undersized mains), and
information to support upgrade planning. Once the entire system is modeled for UDF
(2012), future unidirectional flushing will involve only updates and execution of the
program - at a lower overall cost.
Water Meter Replacement The timely renewal of water meters is important to ensuring
accurate measurement of usage and equitable cost allocation; translating into revenues
for the utility and /or more efficient water use by ICI customers. About 1600 small meters
are planned for replacement over the next three years.
Fire Hydrant Painting Provision is included for the annual hydrant
painting program; to repaint 400 of the 2,063 units annually. This
includes NFPA standard colour coding of the hydrant bonnet to reflect
available water flow at each hydrant: "light blue" indicates a flow of 1,500
gallons per minute (gpm); "green" 1,000 -1,499 gpm; "orange" 500 -999
gpm; and "red" less than 500 gpm.
Leak Detection Funding has been designated for purchase of more advanced leak
detection equipment. This will enable field personnel to more accurately pinpoint the
location of leaks (before excavation is undertaken); helping expedite repairs, minimize
streets disruptions and lower reinstatement costs.
Street Reinstatements Saint John Water will assume direct implementation
responsibility for reinstatement of excavations (asphalt, sidewalk, greenspace) with the
goal of ensuring timely turnaround. By utilizing contract services for this work, Municipal
Operations will be able to focus resources on one of its primary maintenance roles - much
needed asphalt maintenance work.
Sanitary Sewer Maintenance Program With the video support truck being specially
equipped over the winter, all resources will be in place to deliver the comprehensive
sanitary sewer inspection and maintenance program by spring 2011. The video capability
will support the very busy and effective vacuum /flusher unit that went into service in
2010. Ongoing inspection and maintenance of sanitary sewers is vital to service reliability.

equipment over the past several years. Each of the four treatment cells and the polishing
pond were initially profiled to determine the extent of solids build -up. Cells #1, #2 and #3
have been dredged of those accumulated solids. Cell #4 and the polishing pond will be
completed this year. In addition, Operations have rebuilt the system of air diffusers and,
in conjunction with the City's Energy Manager, new variable frequency drives (VFD) have
been installed on all blowers. This latter measure is expected to save about $24,000 per
year in energy costs. Also, new cell curtains (dividers), purchased in 2010, will be
installed in 2011. Together, these measures will improve the operating efficiency of the
Lancaster WWTP and ensure its service reliability well into the future.
Watermain Flushing Removal The first three major phases of a program to remove
"flushing" cross - connections between the water distribution system and sanitary sewers
have been completed through earlier Capital programs. A small number of remaining
"flushings" (Phase 4) will be removed by Saint John Water crews - to bring the City into full
compliance with its Approval to Operate.
Bio- Solids Bio - solids are the treated residuals from the treatment of domestic sewage.
These nutrient -rich organic materials have to be carefully managed and disposed of in
accordance with regulatory requirements. Operating costs related to bio- solids will
increase significantly (for both tipping fees and hauling to the processing facility) as a
result of the Eastern Wastewater Treatment Facility coming on line.

New Facilities (Harbour Clean -Up) New wastewater treatment and pumping facilities
being brought into service through Harbour Clean -Up will mean higher operating costs
for goods and services. For example, additional amounts have been budgeted for fuel,
electricity and chemicals. In terms of personnel costs, Saint John Water is holding the line
at 120 permanent staff. Investments made in staff training and development, technology,
and maintenance procedures will enable an effective transition into the future.

PAGE 13
Planned Capital investments for 2011 reflect Council's priorities and focus on core service
responsibilities of Saint John Water: service reliability, drinking water quality, wastewater
treatment and renewal of infrastructure assets. Each project is a necessary improvement.
The recommended 2011 Capital Budget for the Water and Sewerage Utility Fund is
summarized in Table 5. It totals $33,770,000; just over half of that in contributions from
funding sources other than users. Ratepayers of the utility would be responsible for the
remaining $16,765,000. A listing of projects by Capital Program category is attached.

Infrastructure Renewal (Sanitary)
Relatively higher than usual investments in this category reflect a number of projects to
be undertaken in conjunction with stormwater management improvements - in follow -up
to the various drainage basin studies undertaken over 2009/2010. Extraneous storm
flows from heavy rains enter sanitary sewers through combined sewers (inflow) and aging
deteriorated infrastructure (infiltration). Along with inherent system limitations, homes
built in or along natural drainage areas and private drainage issues, excessive storm flows
have contributed to basement back -ups in several neighbourhoods. The impact has been
very distressing for the families affected. The engineering studies have determined how
best to control heavy runoff, mitigate its effects and prevent back -ups. A series of
recommendations for both storm and sanitary system improvements over the next few
years seek to ensure functional drainage systems in the prioritized drainage basins.

Infrastructure Renewal (Water)
Overall, water system renewal projects are limited to only the most essential. Two of
those (Adelaide Street and Bluery Street) involve related street and sewer upgrades; others
have broader system implications and need to be acted upon.
Safe, Clean Drinking Water
The long -term safe, clean drinking water work undertaken and planned is contributing
very substantially to improving water system infrastructure. The seven 2010 cost - shared
Infrastructure Stimulus Fund (ISF) projects valued at over $20 million bring investments in
drinking water infrastructure to over $80 million in the last decade. These and future
works will give Saint John a reliable, high - quality drinking water system for many future
generations.
Great advances for drinking water have been made in 2010. The ISF projects to improve
service and system reliability across the community will be completed by March 201 1 .
■ eeaverbrook Avenue Watermain Installation: new 400mm main (1.1 km) provides
improved feed from PRV 107 to the Somerset Pump Station and to Millidgeville.
This project enabled SJ Water to take the Millidgeville storage reservoir out of
service this year for needed cleaning and installation of a water mixing system.
■ Ocean Westway Transmission (Pipeline Road West): new 600mm main (3.4 km)
from Gault Road along Ocean Westway to the Spruce Lake Pump Station, with a
new 200mm rider main for local service in Spruce Lake High Zone, has
enhanced the water system backbone through West Saint John.
■ Dever Road Water Transmission Main: the new 600mm main (2.1 km) connection
from Main Street West to the 600mm main (2006) at Manchester Avenue
completes the West system backbone; plus adds an essential second
connection to Milford /Randolph (to enable distribution cleaning and lining).
■ East Phinney Hill Transmission Main: a new 1050mm (3.2 km) main from Phinney
Hill to the Lakewood area greatly strengthens East transmission (will carry raw
water to future treatment plant and East industrial supplies); the project also
eliminated the badly leaking one - kilometre section of wood stave pipe and
made significant environmental upgrades along Pipeline Road East.
■ Spruce Lake Industrial Park Watermain: the 250mm potable watermain (0.98 km)
along King William Road and Water Tower Road was a water quality initiative
for service to the Spruce Lake Industrial Park (in place of an existing 900mm).
■ Cottage Hill and Rockwood Storage Reservoirs: the project enabled rehabilitation
and re- coating of the Cottage Hill and Rockwood Park water storage reservoirs.

a / SAINT JOHN WATER (WATER AND SEWERAGE UTILITY FUND) PAGE 15
■ District Metering: the addition of system flow meters across the distribution
network, integrated with automated tracking through the utility's SCADA
system, is essential for system and flow management, leak detection and
water use efficiency auditing; only one future phase remains to be completed.
The comprehensive Action Plan for Safe, Clean Drinking Water covers a broad range of
considerations and details estimated costs for Council's foremost priority. It has been
presented publically, discussed widely and communicated formally to every level of
government.
The Saint John public has also made its views explicitly clear through both 2009 and 2010
citizen surveys; drinking water is the most important service priority of the community.
Families, businesses, hospitals and schools need and must have the assurance of safe,
clean drinking water.
Achieving safe clean drinking water, however, involves more than simply building a
modern water treatment facility and upgrading system infrastructure. Critically, it is also
about careful fiscal management and investing wisely in the community for future
generations. The financial magnitude of the challenge facing this community is enormous
and means that Council must be very selective in how it utilizes ratepayer resources.
Although all users of the water service will have to pay more for better quality, users do
not have the overall fiscal capacity to fund the Safe Clean Drinking Water Program.
Implementation requires clear and firm funding commitments from the Province of New
Brunswick and the Government of Canada. There are no "magic bullet" solutions, no "free
money ", or no "low cost" options for our community's drinking water needs. Therefore,
securing the required funding agreements is the essential next step.
Utility ratepayers should be assured their limited fiscal resources are being used to
produce clear and tangible outcomes. Capital expenditures proposed for 2011 are
intended to advance the SCDW Program and to help position the City for its timely
implementation - when funding agreements are announced.
Funding for four projects is being recommended:
• SCDW Program Planning: to move land acquisition process forward, complete
a site specific preliminary design for the new treatment facility and process
treatability testing to confirm treatment components, finalize the preliminary
engineering plan for system upgrades, update flow data, confirm system fire
storage needs (based on Fire Underwriters' report), and allocate resources for
engineering and support of Council's funding initiative.
• EIA Water Treatment Facility: to undertake the Environmental Impact
Assessment (EIA) that will be required for the modern water treatment facility
and storage site to be located just south of the Little River Reservoir.
YOUR WATER ... VOTRE EAU
VPROPOSED 2011 OPERATING AND CAPITAL BUDGETS DECEMBER 15TH, 2010
a / SAINT JOHN WATER (WATER AND SEWERAGE UTILITY FUND) PAGE 16
■ Water Use Efficiency and Sustainability Plan: to identify measures needed to
optimize community water use efficiency and to articulate the environmental,
social and economic benefits to be gained from utilizing our finite water
resources more productively (shared 50/50 with FCM Green Municipal Fund).
■ Citizen Engagement and Conservation Initiative: to prepare a consultation and
public education program to get the entire community involved and to help
citizens understand the importance of safe, clean drinking water and its
conservation (shared 50/50 with FCM Green Municipal Fund).
A fifth project (Transmission Reversing Falls Bridge), planned for future implementation,
may need to be constructed sooner. Another leak on the existing 475mm steel line over
the bridge (in the west abutment) is of great concern. It must either be repaired or the
line taken out of service; ice build -up from a leak can have serious structural implications.
Repairs could be costly and will significantly disrupt traffic. It may be far more prudent to
install the permanent solution: new 500mm twin mains across the bridge to replace the
existing pipe. The project is designed and structural clearance from the NB Department of
Transportation could be given. However, for traffic flow reasons, the project cannot be
carried out during the same construction season as renewal work on the Harbour Bridge.
Given the size of the financial challenge facing the water utility, funding options have
been kept open. A preliminary submission has been made for a possible public - private
partnership option for program delivery. The P3 Canada Fund could provide contribute up
to 25% of eligible direct construction and development costs. The next P3 step is to
undertake a "business case" analysis of the application. While P3 is an option, it is by no
means one that is clearly the most affordable over the long term. The "business case"
alone will not determine the most financially prudent delivery option for ratepayers.
Council needs to focus its efforts on continuing work to secure the necessary drinking
water funding; to work closely with elected and other officials to secure the political and
funding support of the Province of New Brunswick and the Government of Canada.
Concluding the funding agreements and quantifying the cost - effectiveness (affordability)
of procurement options (in real "value for money" terms) should precede the pursuit of
any particular approach. Preliminary design reports should also be completed.
However, if Council wishes to pursue a P3 business case analysis, staff would advise that
it should try to do so without committing ratepayer money to that process at this time
(estimated $200,000 City share). The City would pay its share only if and when a P3
approach is determined the best delivery option for this community and that direction is
taken. Otherwise, there is a risk process expenditures may produce no tangible return on
investment. Given concerns for affordability and rising rates, Council should assure itself
that the delivery strategy it chooses is the most fiscally responsible for ratepayers; a least -
cost solution that will give users the best possible long -term deal. The fundamental policy
decision concerning control of assets will also have to be given careful consideration.

Wastewater Treatment / Harbour Clean -Up
Next year will be a pivotal one for Harbour Clean -Up. In addition to the new Eastern
Wastewater Treatment Facility coming on line, the contract for the major lift station #10
(LS #10) at Harbour Station and the forcemain along Station Street /City Road has already
been awarded for construction. Other 2011 projects include construction of the following:
■ eayside Drive: East LS #3 and forcemain /collector system.
■ Crown Street: South Central collector system (Elliot Row /Dunlop Lane area) and
easement /land acquisition.
■ Indiantown: North LS #23 at Robertson Square, North LS #24 at Rowan Place and
the related forcemain /collector systems.
■ Riverview Drive: West LS #28 at Riverview Drive, West LS #30 at Riverview
Avenue West and the associated forcemain /collector systems.
■ City Road: Central LS #5A and forcemain /collector system (Universal Sales area).
■ Spar Cove Road: the tender for major North LS #22 (forcemain constructed earlier)
will close in December for early 2011 construction; it will bring North to 95 %.
■ Thorne Avenue: supplemental funding for Central LS #4 - the largest, most critical lift
station in the entire system (for tender in January 2011); as the project is funded
under MRIF, the utility must provide the supplemental amount; an equivalent amount
of Gas Tax funding has been designated for other utility projects.
■ Haymarket Square / Thorne Avenue: collector system, easement /land acquisition.
■ Water Street: LS #9 on Saint .John Port Authority property and the related
forcemain /collector system.
Saint John is building a largely new and modern wastewater collection and treatment
system; one that will enable this community to grow in a smart, environmentally
sustainable manner. It will also position the City to meet its obligations under the
Canada -wide Strategy for the Management of Municipal Wastewater Effluents. Unlike
many municipalities across Atlantic Canada, Saint John will have secondary level treatment
to handle its sewage effluents. Some communities will need to make major financial
investments in infrastructure to achieve this required level of treatment.
Although the technical and financial challenges associated with constructing major
infrastructure systems can be substantial, land /easement acquisition has been the most
difficult impediment to overcome for Harbour Clean -Up. Despite its overall importance for
the Saint John public generally, not all stakeholders have made the process a smooth one.

Watershed Protection
Funding in the Watershed Protection category has been limited to supporting the land
acquisition program and due diligence on dam infrastructure both East and West.
FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES
Two core principles must guide Saint john Water; its governance, policies, organization,
operating methods, business model, contracts, collective agreements and service focus:
■ High service standards - essential for public health, safety, quality of life, and
the environment; and
■ Prudent financial management - achieving operational efficiencies and
optimizing value for utility ratepayers (users of the services).
Utility infrastructure is conservatively valued at over $%Z billion; an amount that will grow
as facilities are added. Wise spending and the perpetual care of these publically owned
assets are vitally important to the three essential public services of Saint john Water.
RECOMMENDATIONS
It is recommended that Common Council adopt the following resolutions:
1. RESOLVED that the estimated revenue for the Water and Sewerage Utility for the
year 2011 in the amount of $35,475,310 be adopted (Appendix "A ");
2. RESOLVED that the estimate of expenses for the Water and Sewerage Utility for
the year 2011 in the amount of $35,475,310 be approved (Appendix "B ");
3. RESOLVED that the By -Law entitled A By -Law to Amend a By -Law Respecting Water
& Sewerage (Appendix "C ") be given first and second reading; and
4. RESOLVED that the Capital Budget for 2011 in the amount of $33,770,000, as set
out in the attached 2011 schedule of projects, be approved.

OPEN SESSION
M &C 2010 -424
December 17, 2010
Mayor Ivan Court and Members of Common Council
Your Worship and Councillors:
SUBJECT: Technical and Business Analysis- Green Thermal Utility
BACKGROUND
The City of Saint John has for sometime now, been exploring the possibility of establishing a
Green Thermal Utility (GTU) for the uptown area of the City. Simply put, a GTU is a district
energy system (DES) which provides heating and /or cooling generated on an offsite location, to
a number of buildings, using renewable energy sources.
There currently exists a number of DES installations across Canada. The design of these
facilities, the fuel supply, and the economic viability are always site and circumstance specific.
The City of Saint John has some unique possibilities supporting the establishment of a GTU.
Our immediate adjacency to the Bay of Fundy provides excellent opportunity for year round
cooling, and our diversity of industrial facilities provide opportunity to utilize waste energy for
heating. Staff have reviewed and visited a number of district energy systems in Canada and
while none of these would be an exact fit for the City of Saint John, elements of those
technologies could be combined to produce a hybrid, made -in -Saint John project.
The objectives of the GTU are as follows:
➢ Reduce Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions;
➢ Reduce fossil fuel dependency;
➢ Reduce energy costs;
➢ Encourage the development of green buildings;
➢ Reduce wasted energy;

-2-
➢ Support sustainable energy;
➢ Provide stability for future energy costs;
➢ Provide revenue for the City.
A detailed design report was completed in 2010 by FVB Energy (FVB). The report evaluated
energy sources available in the Saint John area such as raw sewage heat recovery, sea water
cooling, excess waste heat from buildings and industrial waste heat. It also provided design
recommendations, capital estimates, and considered economic benefits. The report identified
25 buildings as potentially suitable customers of the GTU, representing 3.5 million square feet of
floor area with the potential of expanding the number of customers to include a floor area up to
6 million square feet.
ANALYSIS
Common Council approved a capital project August 30, 2010 for infrastructure renewal in the
uptown area. This infrastructure was required and is complementary to the Peel Plaza area
development. In the tender award a component for GTU piping installation in Union Street was
provided. The costs for this component of the work is approximately $1.8 million. Council was
advised, prior to the award, that staff would come back to Common Council to make a further
recommendation as to whether or not the City should invest this $1.8 million at this time.
Council was informed that staff would not be in a position to make any recommendation until
such time as a business case for the GTU had been developed.
In order to develop a proper business analysis, for what could be a utility for the City of Saint
John, it is necessary to engage very specific expertise. A request for proposals for this
business and technical analysis was issued in November of 2010 and submissions were
accepted until Thursday, December 16, 2010.
If awarded, the consultant will provide a preliminary report and presentation to Common Council
in late February or early March 2011, with the final report completed by June 2011. The
preliminary report will provide a clear understanding of the financial viability of the project and it
will help Common Council to decide whether or not to proceed with the development of the GTU
and the installation of the GTU pipes along Union Street.
Proposals were received from three firms:
1. Compass Resource Management Limited
2. FVB Energy Inc
3. Stantec
-3-
A proposal evaluation committee consisting of representatives from Material and Fleet
Management, Buildings and Inspection Services reviewed each submission against standard
evaluation criteria including:
➢ Quality and completeness of submission
➢ Demonstrated experience in similar projects
➢ Expertise and qualifications of staff
➢ Methodology
➢ Cost
Each team member completed an independent review of the submissions, and joint discussions
were held to develop the final ranking submissions. After due consideration of all proposals, the
review committee unanimously selected the submission of Compass Resource Management
Limited as the best proposal based on overall rating of the evaluation criteria.
The total cost of the proposed work from Compass Resource Management Limited is $179,120
plus applicable taxes.
This is a planned expenditure for which funds have been allocated in the City of Saint John's
Facility Management 2010 Capital Budget.
RECOMMENDATION
Your City Manager recommends that the proposal submitted by Compass Resource
Management Limited to conduct a business and technical analysis for the development of a
GTU be accepted at a cost of $179,120 plus applicable taxes.
Respectfully Submitted,

SUBJECT: Rockwood Park Phase II
Amendment to Recreational Infrastructure Canada Letter of Offer
a
The City of Saint )ohn
Attached to this report are two copies of an Amendment to ACOA's Letter of Offer for this
project that require sealing and signature. The original Letter of Offer dated January 19, 2010
contained a breakdown of project cost based on estimated costs prepared by the Consultant for
the project. The actual final costs were significantly lower based on actual tender unit prices and
final construction quantities. This amendment to the Letter of Offer reflects these actual
construction costs.
The maximum amount pledged under this program does not change, although with the
significantly reduced cost of work the City may not completely reach this amount (effectively
ACOA may share in some of the project savings). This is a time sensitive document, requiring
signature before December 25, 2010.
We recommend that the attached amendments be signed and executed.
