Find attached the proposed 2013 Water & Sewer Utility Capital Budget, This report was
considered by Council at its meeting of 19 November and subsequently tabled to allow Council
time to consider the implications of the proposed Capital Budget on the proposed 2013 Utility
Operating Budget,
Following Council's adoption of the 2013 Operating Budget, it would be appropriate for
Council to adopt the following resolutions:
1) That Common Council
Approve the 2013 Capital Budget for the Utility Fund in the amount of $20,665,000
(gross) with contributions from other sources of $4,835,000 yielding a Capital Budget
in the amount of $15,830,000 (net) as set in Appendix A
2) That the City of Saint John and Saint John Water make no expenditures from the
envelope identified for safe, clean drinking water, or from the envelope identified for
watershed protection, without express approval of Council.
Respectfully Submitted

In November 2004, Common Council established 3 fundamental goals/objectives for the
Water and Sewer Utility. These were
100% treatment of collected wastewater effluents;
Full treatment/filtration of drinking water;
Adequate annual investment in existing infrastructure renewal.
Subsequent Councils have demonstrated their oonitnitment to these goals through
continued aggressive expenditures in these pursuits, This is evidenced through the Harbour Clean -
Up program (nearing completion), the Safe Clean Drinking Water program (now beginning) and
the substantial investments in existing infrastructure.
The attached proposed 2013 Utility Capital Budget is consistent with the established goals,
is fiscally responsible, and if approved, will move the Utility closer to achieving Council's stated
priorities.
The Utility Capital Budget is unlike other Capital budgets in. that it is financed exclusively
by the water and sewer rates charged to the customers (users of the system). This budget is not
directly linked to the property tax rate, unconditional grant, assessment base or other fiscal
pressures and uncertainties. Nevertheless, the Council is acutely aware of the need to establish
affordable rates for its Utility customers. This proposed Capital Budget respects that overriding
concern,

Treatment of Wastewater Effluent
As Council is aware, the Harbour Clean -Up project is nearing completion. Presently, there
remains only one significant project: Sewerage Lift Station No 31. This project is expected to be
tendered by the end of'2012 and completed in 2013. The funds for this project ($2.3 Million) were

included in the 2012 Capital Budget and will be carried forward to 2013. This construction
completes the overall project. Final project costs are anticipated to be $99,400,000, including the
City's eligible HST rebate as reported to Council on September 28, 2009 (M & C 2009-318). Of
that amount, $39,200,000 will be funded directly by the Utility, an amount of $28,400,000
($26,600,000 CSIF Agreement + $1,800,000 approximate interest) from the Province and
$31,800,000 ($26,600,000 CSIF Agreement + .$5,200,000 GTF) from the Federal government
There are a number ofcarry-forward projects, (projects which have begun in 2012 and will
be completed in 2013) related to Harbour Clean-up carrying a total cost of approximately
$11,300,000.
FuH Treatment of Drinking Water
Safe, Clean Drinking Water
Safe, Clean Drinking Water is this community's most significant infrastructure initiative.
Conunon Council has clearly expressed the importance of this project to the community and has
identified it as one of Council's top priorities.This multi-year project requires huge financial
commitments from the ratepayers of the UWity. It is essential that the City explore all alternatives
for construction of the facilities required, determine the most cost effective service delivery model,
and secure funding from the senior levels of government.
The City currently has an application to P3 Canada for funding participation in the project.
All aspects of a potential P3 project are being considered; those being design, build, finance,
operate and maintain, The initial examination of a P3 model, the business case analysis (value for
money), has just begun. This will guide the City's decision making with respect to aspects of
service delivery. This will also be a determinant in P3 Canada's decision to financially partner
with the City,
The provincial government has also expressed strong support for the Safe Clean Drinking
Water project; although the level of financial support has not been determined.
The approved 2012 Utility Capital Budget includes approximately $5 Million for the
project; most of that amount not allocated to specific projects. Approximately $100,000, will be
,expended on the initial business case analysis and an additional approximate $95,000 on ground
water feasibility usage.
The proposed 2013 Utility Capital Budget includes $8,065,000 for the project. Of that
amount $3,065,000 is identified for the replacement of an existing watetmain across the Reversing
Fall-cz Br;eiae. At t"Whis timp. 4 is iink"nwn c to ,vhetuar 0� - t tl1i.p- i t - - i__

Work on the Harbour Bridge, structural capacity of the Reversing Falls Bridge, results of the
groundwater availability analysis all must be determined before this project can proceed.

The remaining $5,000,000 recommended in the 2013: Capital Budget is intended to
advance the P3 investigative
supply, etc. Much more significant expenditures are identified in subsequent years' Capital
dgets as we begin construction of facilities.
Sanitary
Like all municipal water and sewer utilities, there is a perpetual need for reinvestment in
existing infrastructures, Infrastructure, by its very nature, is installed incrementally over the years
and consequently must be incrementally upgraded, replaced and repaired. Notwithstanding the
patently obvious need for Harbour Clean Up and Safe, Clean Drinking Water, significant funding
must be made available annually to safeguard the functionality of the existing systems, and protect
the environment. Council has acknowledged this basic need each year by providing funding for
infrastructure renewal, The proposed 2013 Capital Budget proposes construction totaling
$5,330,000 to maintain this sanitary inftastructure. Investments will be made in all geographic
sectors in accordance with the greatest need and the most cost effective choices. A listing of these
specific projects is included in the appendix to this report.
In addition to the new projects recommended for 2013, there are a number of carry over
projects which were previously approved in the 2012 Capital Budget. These projects are currently
underway and will be completed in 2013. The carry over projects for sanitary renewal will be an
investment of approximately $4,100!,000. All combined, total investment insanitary sewer
infrastructure renewal will total about $9.4 Million in 2013, including the cagy over projects.
Water
The 2013 proposed Capital Budget also continues to invest in water system renewal
projects. A total investment of $3.7 Million combined with $9001,000 in other funding will result
in approximately $4.6'Million in new work in 2011 The $900,000 will be provided from the gas
tax fund for the cleaning and lining of existing cast iron watermains. Tice cleaning and lining
program improves pressure, water quality and fire flows; avoiding a much more costly complete
piping replacement.
The carryover projects, in water infrastructure renewal amount to approximately
$3,0100,000. A complete listing of water system infrastructure renewal projects is included in the
attached appendix,
