Section H Water & Sewer Infrastructure

The study area is fully served by water and sewer service.

Combined sewers, that collect surface runoff and sewage together, exist within the study area, however some blocks have been upgraded with separate storm and sanitary lines (as shown on the map below).

The Campbell/University Combined Sewer Separation and Stormwater Management Strategy Report was recently completed. The main objective of the Campbell/University Report was to develop an overall combined sewer separation strategy to achieve a 5 year design level of service. More information is needed to determine the impacts of future development/redevelopment on stormwater and sanitary systems.

Any future redevelopment will require a servicing study, a functional design, and capital improvements to accommodate redevelopment and mitigate any impacts to the existing development. Therefore, in order to consider the infrastructure needs for future development, a servicing study will be required following the Sewer Master Plan.

A functional servicing study could be completed Spring 2021. Phase II and Phase III will be coordinated with the functional servicing study. The City’s 2020’s 8-year capital budget identifies annual funding. Funding for a servicing study, a functional design, and capital improvements required for future redevelopment is not within the approved 8-year capital budget.
