The Des Moines Metropolitan Wastewater Reclamation Authority (WRA) faces several infrastructure challenges. One of the primary challenges is maintaining and upgrading aging infrastructure, including pipes and treatment facilities. Another challenge is meeting increasingly strict regulatory requirements, particularly for nutrient removal. In addition, the WRA must balance the need to provide reliable wastewater treatment services with the need to manage costs for its customers. Finally, the WRA must plan for and adapt to changing weather patterns and increased precipitation, which can impact the capacity and effectiveness of its treatment facilities.

How to Read a Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) for Business Development?
When a city, municipality or state issues a Capital Improvement Plan (CIP), it can be overwhelming and daunting, but there are a few key things you need to investigate. Let’s start with the definition of CIP – A Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) contains all the individual capital projects, equipment purchases, and major studies for a local government; in conjunction with construction and completion schedules, and in consort with financing plans. The plan provides a working blueprint for sustaining and improving the community’s infrastructures. It coordinates strategic planning, financial capacity, and physical development. A CIP stands at the epicenter of a government’s Planning, Public Works, and Finance departments. When a CIP is issued, it typically includes the following information:
- A listing of the capital projects or equipment to be purchased
- The projects ranked in order of preference
- The plan for financing the projects
- A timetable for the construction or completion of the project
- Justification for the project
- Explanation of expenses for the project
Now, for business development, while the capital plan is interesting, the capital program is for capital expenditures that extends five to ten years beyond the capital budget. Knowing the difference is important so you can influence upcoming program versus just responding to an RFP. If reading the CIP makes your head explode, or you want to save time, Request a Demo of Citylitics CIP dashboard with over 20,000 CIPs from USA and Canada.
