2008 - 2017 Capital Improvement Program

Small Systemwide Improvement Program (SSIP)

Description:

The Small Systemwide Improvement Program (SSIP) provides for miscellaneous improvements to the wastewater treatment plants and interceptor system. The projects are proposed to provide for more effective operation and to eliminate deficiencies in the system. This is an on-going program. Each year completed projects are deleted and new projects are added. Only the highest priority SSIP projects will be funded within the limits of the authorized budget.

Project Map

Purpose and Justification:

The project provides for the implementation of projects generally costing less than $1,000,000 under less rigorous review and approval processes. The program assures that the planning and implementation costs are not excessive.
