Distribution System Improvements. (a) The design report prepared by SAFEGE for the future water supply of Nouakchott shall be finalized by December 31, 1992. The final report shall indicate in detail which works will be realized in each phase of the project, and how these activities will address the servicing needs for the expected future growth of the city. The report shall also indicate the plans for, and control of, urbanization at the wellfield and along the pipeline corridor.
Distribution System Improvements. In addition to routine work in the water distribution system to replace aged/failed assets (services, valves, hydrants, short main replacements, etc.), our capital plan includes replacement/renewal of an average of 1,200 linear feet of main per year within the Allendale Water System, or 0.5% of the Allendale system annually. This is in line with the renewal/replacement rate for the existing SUEZ Water New Jersey system. We do not plan to start this program of main renewal/replacement until after the large capital expenditures of years 1 through 5, notably PFAS treatment. In addition, improvements are planned at the existing SUEZ Water New Jersey interconnection and the Ridgewood Water Department interconnection to improve operations and reliability. PFAS – See Exhibit L for SUEZ’s PFAS Plan. Finished Water Storage Tank Improvements – The Fairhaven Tank was last rehabilitated in 2002 and painted in 1993. SUEZ plans to paint and rehabilitate the Fairhaven Tank within the first five years of ownership. The Xxxxxx Water Storage Tank was recently rehabilitated, and painting is not planned in the 10-year period. However, the existing inlet/outlet pipe has a history of issues, complicated by its location on resident property that makes it difficult to access. In the first five years of ownership, we plan to replace and relocate the pipe to improve access. SUEZ acknowledges the Borough can maintain communication equipment, including the repair, replacement upgrading and expanding of same and related ground structures, on the Borough’s Xxxxxx Water Tank and the land adjacent to same in perpetuity. Lead – While there are no known lead services lines in Allendale, the materials for approximately 2/3 of the service lines are unknown. With the pending Lead and Copper Rule revisions, these materials will need to be identified and any lead materials removed. Based on our experience working on the lead issue in Bergen County, we have included a capital program for identifying and removing the lead materials over the 10-year planning period. The plan assumes 175 location investigations per year to determine service line materials and that 10% will contain lead and require replacement. BUYER’S PFAS PLAN SUEZ is fully committed to meeting and exceeding requirements for the removal of PFAS from our drinking water as the EPA and NJDEP introduce new regulations. Levels of PFAS at the existing New Street Xxxxx and Well 11 are near the regulatory limits. SUEZ Water New Jersey int...
