Orange Water and Sewer Authority, California

Population (Year):   ()

The Orange Water and Sewer Authority (OWASA) in North Carolina faces several infrastructure challenges, including maintaining and upgrading aging water and sewer pipelines, addressing water quality issues, and ensuring reliable water supply during droughts. OWASA also faces challenges in managing its wastewater treatment facilities and addressing increasing demands for water from a growing population. Additionally, the authority must balance the need for infrastructure improvements with affordability for customers, as rate increases can place a financial burden on low-income households.

Cane Creek Pump Station Improvements

2024

“Funds are included in FY 2024 through FY 2026 for adding automatic generator transfer switchgear,
building a permanent enclosure for the generator, and installing variable frequency drives (VFD). Planning
and design are funded for FY 2024 and FY 2025, and construction is expected to occur in FY 2026. This
work was identified by OWASA maintenance staff.”

Cane Creek Raw Water Transmission Main Study

2024

“Funding is provided in FY 2024 to test the friction coefficient in the existing 24-inch diameter raw water
main from the Cane Creek Reservoir to the Quarry Reservoir in order to determine if the main needs to be
cleaned to restore its carrying capacity. This study will be completed prior to the design on the pump station
improvements (270-16).”

Filter 1, 3, 4 and 5 Influent Valve Shaft and Actuator Replacements

2024

“he influent valve shafts and actuators in the filter building at the WTP are approaching their end of their
useful life. Filter 2 influent valve shaft and actuator were replaced in 2021 due to visible corrosion but the
remaining first four filters are also in need of replacement due to expected similar conditions and age.
WTP Operations staff is expected to complete a filter assessment in winter 2022 to best inform replacement
and rehabilitation decisions. Following that assessment funding is included in FY 2024 to complete the
influent valve shaft and actuator replacements.”

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:

  1. A listing of the capital projects or equipment to be purchased
  2. The projects ranked in order of preference
  3. The plan for financing the projects
  4. A timetable for the construction or completion of the project
  5. Justification for the project
  6. 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.
