16 CWSRF Integrafed Priority Rating System Narrafive Orange County ~ McGowan Creek Interceptor I. Pxoject TT_~e - This groject is a"Collection System Replacement" wluch does not increase the ca.pacity of the existing system. The proj ect will take an existing pump station out of service by installiug a new 12" gxavity sewer interceptor line ta carry the wastewater to another pump station being built downstream as part of an ongoiung praject. TYie existing gravity sewer inflow pipe to the pump station being taken out of service is 12" in. diameter, so the 12" gravity sewer interceptor being built to replace the pump station does not represent an increase in capacity of the system. II. Environniental Benefits - There are no applicable poin#s under this heading. III_ System Mana eg ment - This system has less than I4,000 points and currently has most of the five Asset Management Plan requirements in place. However, the Operat;iing Ratio is not currently grea.ter tban ar equal to 1, as shown in LGC form ~08e. It is unlikely that the Operatia~g Ratio can be made equal to 1 by the time the contract for this project is signed. The Efla.ud sewer system, of which this project will be a part, is currently operated via an interiacal agreement between Orange County and the Town of Hillsborough. Orange County owns a~c~ operates the callection system, with the Town of Hillsborougt~ pmviding wastewater freatrnent for the system. As a result of this regianal system, Orange County incorporates by reference the Towzz's Sewer Use Ordinance wasfewa.ter standaxds into our own ordinance and any naw custamer must meet the Town's wastewater staz~dards before being allowed to cQna~ect. In addition, the Town's Sewer Capital Facilities fee is charged to every new custom~er connecting to the Efland sewer system. IV. Financial Situatian -'The Poverty Rate fox Ozange County is shown as 16% ott the Rura1 Center's County da.tabase. Dividing 16 by 5 gives 3.2 priority points for item 22. The monthly sewer bill fox 5000 gallons is currently $66.98. Oxange County does not operate a water distribution utility. The updated mediau household income for Orange County is $49,836 according to the Rural Center database, Tnserting these numbezs into the formula gives 3.2 priority paints for item 23. The combi.nation of line items 22 and 23 is above b points. Orauge County is requesfiing principal forgiveness for this project 1oan, but the project will proceed even if no pxincipal forgiveness is granted. 'There are currently 220 residential accounts in the Efland sewer system. Divid3ng 1500 by 220 gives 6.8. The maximum of 3 priority poinYs are being claimed for item 24.
