Master Plan Overview <br />August 1998 <br />Page 2 <br />PROJECT APPROACH <br />Long-range master plans currently exist for some, but not all, elements of OWASA's water <br />and sewer utility. There is a growing need to supplement existing information and combine <br />all elements into a single, coherent plan that can be used to guide future water and sewer <br />investment decisions. Accordingly, OWASA desires along-range Comprehensive <br />Water/Sewer Master Plan that will integrate water and wastewater management programs <br />into a single document and guide the upgrade, expansion, and rehabilitation of OWASA's <br />infrastructure. <br />3 <br />Planning Horizon <br />The Master Plan will address both near and long-term water and sewer infrastructure <br />investments. Growth and development projections, including water and wastewater <br />forecasts, will be developed to the year 2050. Additionally, growth and development <br />projections, and associated water and wastewater forecasts, will be developed for the buildout <br />condition of OWASA's service azea. <br />Water and sewer facilities and planning-level cost estimates will be developed for each of <br />OWASA's capital facilities categories for the fifteen-year planning period extending from <br />2000 to 2015. Conceptual-level water and sewer facilities and cost estimates will be <br />developed for 2015 to 2050. <br />
