CHAPTER 7 <br />IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM <br />INTRODUCTION <br />This chapter presents a Capital Improvement Program (CIP) in accordance with the <br />requirements of WAC 246-290. Planned water system improvements, associated costs, <br />and scheduling are presented in the following sections. These improvements are based <br />on deficiencies identified in Chapters 3. Financing of these improvements is discussed in <br />Chapter 8. <br />In the future other projects may arise that are not identified as part of the City's water <br />system CIP. Such projects may be deemed necessary for ensuring water quality, <br />preserving emergency water supply, accommodating transportation improvements <br />proposed by other agencies, or addressing unforeseen problems with the City's water <br />system. Due to budgetary constraints, the completion of these projects may require that <br />the proposed completion date for the projects in the CIP be rescheduled. The City retains <br />the flexibility to reschedule proposed projects and to expand or reduce the scope of <br />proposed projects, as best determined by the City when new information becomes <br />available for evaluation. <br />The CIP is categorized into five categories: <br />• Transmission Projects (T) <br />• Distribution System Projects (D) <br />• Water Treatment Plant Projects (WTP) <br />• Miscellaneous Projects (M), and <br />• Operation and Maintenance Projects (O&M) <br />Each category is further divided into a detailed list of projects presented chronologically <br />over the 6 -year and 20 -year planning periods. Projects after the 6 -year planning period <br />are described along with a cost estimate, but are not scheduled for a specific year. <br />RECOMMENDED IMPROVEMENTS <br />PROJECT T-1: RIVER CROSSING REPLACEMENT <br />Schedule: 2014 <br />Estimated Cost: $469,200 <br />Currently, the City's water is carried from Domerie Creek to the treatment plant via a <br />single waterline, which crosses the Cle Elum River on an old steel truss footbridge.
