Sewer and Stormwater Assets Diverse assets Widely varied lifespans and management techniques July 2015 Environmental Services l Asset Management 2016 11
Condition of assets Over $2 billion in assets in poor or very poor condition Over $2 billion in assets in unknown condition One-third of the 2, 500 miles of sewer pipes are over 80 years old Environmental Services l Asset Management 2016 12
Asset Management Practices are used to track and inventory assets • Asset Inventories, Work Order Systems • Hansen (Collections) and Synergen (WW) • Track. It (PBOT / Collections) • Detailed Condition Assessments • Collection System, Green Streets • Condition Assessments being updated • Wastewater Treatment and Pumping, Stormwater Environmental Services l Asset Management 2016 13

Prioritizing investment – Asset management • Risk = likelihood of failure x consequence of failure Environmental Services l Asset Management 2016 15
BES planning aims to understand minimize risk of failures • Asset not usable • Minor to catastrophic failure • Asset doesn’t meet level of service • Insufficient pipe capacity (basement backup, street flooding) • Stream habitat • Permit requirements Environmental Services l Asset Management 2016 16
Asset condition data of pipes is in Hansen Maintenance Management System from TV Inspection Data 32, 000 Current Inspections Green inspected within last 5 years Orange inspected within last 10 years Environmental Services l Asset Management 2016 17

CSO/Sanitary System Plan Prioritization • 45, 000 sanitary & combined pipes • 3, 800 grade 4 & 5 pipes (expected to fail within 0 - 27 years) • $524 million to replace all grade 4 & 5 • $142 million to replace all laterals • 1, 100 are in rehab program • $121 million prioritized worst condition and highest consequence of failure Environmental Services l Asset Management 2016 19
Net Benefit/Cost Ratio for Pipe Rehab is an example of how BES Prioritizes Investments Environmental Services l Asset Management 2016 20
Using data to develop cost effective plans and designs Net Benefit / Cost Ratio (n. BCR) is used to identify pipes to work on (Jelly Beans) and Recommended Actions: - Spot Repairs - Liners - Whole Pipe Dig / Replace - Monitor and Inspect Environmental Services l Asset Management 2016 Grade 4 and 5 Pipes 21
Failure of pipe predicted by condition ratings translates to present worth of the future risk of failure and emergency repair Environmental Services l Asset Management 2016 22
Combined and Sanitary System Plan • Phase 1 & 2: 16 project areas to be completed in 8 years • Estimated capital cost - $121 Million • Currently half way through design and implementation of Phase 1 & 2 • Starting Phase 3 (downtown, large diameter) 23 Environmental Services l Asset Management 2016 23

Net Benefit Cost Ratio (n. BCR) – Shows the Balance of Cost and Risk • Evaluate benefit of doing something now (proactive) vs. doing something later (reactive) • Base risk - leave pipe with known defects alone, the consequence of failure is that it requires an emergency repair in the future (more expensive, more disruption to ratepayers) • Alternate risk – proactively fix pipe defects now and reduce consequence of failure n. BCR = Base Risk PW ($) – Alternate Risk PW ($) Environmental Services l Asset Management 2016 53
