So
with
that
I
will
hand
it
over
to
mr
urbanic,
who
will
give
us
a
summary
of
pwsa's
budget
impacts.
Thank
you,
mr
urbano.
Thank.
B
B
Some
of
the
goals
of
the
pwsa
are
to
responsibly
and
sustainably
manage
pittsburgh's
water
for
the
next
12
years
and
well
beyond
2030,
to
provide
reliable
water,
safe,
reliable
water
for
24
7
365
to
the
customers
and
to
provide
them
with
excellent
customer
service
to
renew
and
upgrade
the
dr,
our
drinking
water,
storm
water
and
sewer
infrastructure
to
exceed
all
compliance
standards
to
prioritize
public
health
and
replace
all
lead
service
lines
to
make
water
service
accessible
through
customer
assistance
to
low-income
customers
and
continue
a
moratorium
on
winter
water
shut-offs
to
be
accountable,
accessible
and
fully
transparent
to
the
customers
to
fairly
and
equitably
charge.
B
B
B
First,
revenue,
pittsburgh,
water
and
sewer
authority
in
direct
costs,
six
million
seven
hundred
and
forty
one
thousand
dollars
same
as
in
2021
in
2018
and
prior.
This
was
an
uncalculated
yearly
payment
of
7.15
million
dollars
expenditures.
This
year
the
water
line
line
item
has
increased
by
500
000
from
3.6
million
to
4.1
million.
The
sore
line
item
remains
steady,
42
419.
B
The
pwsa
also
has
an
impact
on
the
city's
pension,
both
on
the
revenue
end.
We've
received
pension
aid
as
a
result
of
the
employees
and
the
units
and
expenditures
the
and
just
as
a
reminder,
since
we
recently
passed
legislation
regarding
removing
the
security
offset.
The
pwsa,
retirees
and
employees
do
not
have
the
social
security
offset,
except
for
the
the
new
hires
are
no
longer
in
the
system,
at
least
the
noise
in
the
capital
budget.
B
There
are
four
flood
control
projects
in
2022
capital
that
have
a
50
50
city
pwsa
match,
including
braywood
way.
Stormwater
improvements,
52
000
from
each
entity
dragoon
way,
stormwater
improvements,
67
500
from
each
entity,
haverville
street
improvements,
57
500
from
both
the
pwsa
and
the
city
and
stuart
avenue,
storm
water
improvements,
149
700
city
and
149
700
from
the
pwsa
city
council
also
approved
17.5
million
dollars
in
federal
arp
funds,
american
rescue
plan
funds
to
go
to
the
pwsa
for
lead
line
replacement
projects.
B
A
You,
mr
bannock,
yes,
so
jennifer
and
well.
Could
you
introduce
yourselves
please.
C
Absolutely
good
afternoon
councilwoman
gross
councilwoman,
strasberger
and
members
of
the
public,
I'm
will
pickering.
I
am
the
chief
executive
officer
of
the
pittsburgh
water
and
sewer
authority,
and
I
am
joined
today
by
our
chief
operating
officer,
jen
prizudi
and
our
our
plan,
if
it
was
acceptable,
was
to
walk
through
a
brief
presentation
with
some
slides
and
then
open
it
up
to
any
questions
you
all
may
have
for
us.
C
Managing
the
slides
here
it
has
been
a
year
since
I
appeared
before
city
council
in
in
this
capacity.
I
have
been
in
this
role
as
the
chief
executive
at
pwsa
for
I'm
approaching
a
year
and
a
half,
and
just
at
the
outset
I
want
to
express
how
honored
I
am
to
lead
this
organization
through
a
time
that
is
undoubtedly
full
of
challenges,
but
also
opportunities
and
the
progress
that
we've
been
able
to
make
over
the
last
few
years
in
challenging
circumstances.
C
Aside
from
everything
we
have
going
on
specific
to
pwsa,
I've
just
really
been
inspired
by
our
ability
to
work
together
as
a
team
and
we're
gonna
touch
on
some
of
the
notable
changes
in
2022
and
obviously
are
available
to
go
into
detail
on
any
of
these
items
or
others
that
we
may
not
cover.
C
So,
in
terms
of
our
vision
and
strategic
direction,
we
are
focused
on
stabilizing
the
organization
and
setting
forth
a
path
for
our
projects,
but
also
the
culture
internally.
At
pwsa,
we
are
becoming
a
professional
organization
with
qualified
staff
in
decision
making
positions
with
the
resources
they
need
to
deliver
the
the
product
that
our
customers
expect
of
us
and
that
they
they
really
deserve,
and
so
we've
spent
some
time
in
the
last
few
months,
considering
our
vision
and
strategic
direction
and
and
that
isn't
just
my
personal
philosophy
or
or
even
jen's,
or
the
executive
teams.
C
We've
taken
great
length
to
pull
anyone
within
the
organization
who
is
interested
in
weighing
in
and
we're
excited
that
early
next
year,
we'll
be
able
to
announce
a
new
vision
and
mission
statement,
much
along
the
lines
of
what
director
urbanic
laid
out
in
his
introduction
about
pwsa.
C
But
we
felt
that
now
was
an
appropriate
time
to
pull
the
staff
and
get
us
all
on
board
with
this
cultural
shift
that
we
are
really
we've
really
been
undergoing
for
now,
for
the
last
two
to
three
years,
go
ahead
to
the
next
slide
jen.
So
in
terms
of
some
highlights
and
changes,
since
we
were
last
together,
we
just
recently,
we
were
actually
surprised.
C
The
public
utility
commission
voted
to
approve
a
month
earlier
than
we
anticipated
our
rate
structure
for
both
2022
and
2023,
and
that
first
bullet
is
really
the
most
substantive
change
and
it's
a
different
approach
for
how
we
recover
costs
associated
with
stormwater
management,
which
is
a
growing
area
of
our
responsibilities.
At
pwsa.
C
The
stormwater
fee,
which
was
approved
by
the
public
utility
commission,
is
a
fee.
That's
based
upon
impervious
area,
on
a
property,
whether
it's
residential
or
commercial,
so
the
hard
surfaces
on
that
property
will
dictate
how
much
of
a
fee
that
given
customer
will
be
charged
and
we'll
get
into
some
of
the
specifics
on
that
that
fee
amount.
We
have
also
expanded
our
customer
assistance
offerings
what
we
call
our
customer
assistance
programs.
Now
we
have
so
many.
I
do
want
to
credit
councilwoman
gross.
C
C
C
That
program
was
only
available
to
the
combined
water
and
sewer
customers,
which
are
about
two-thirds
of
our
customers,
but
unfortunately,
previously
excluded
our
customers
in
the
south
hills
who
just
receive
our
sewer
services.
So
now,
if
you
are
a
pwsa
employee,
regardless
of
whether
you
are
a
water
and
sewer
or
a
sewer,
only
customer,
you
are
eligible
to
apply
for
that
one-time
cash
assistance.
C
The
the
flexibility
was
in
part
of
the
reaction
to
the
changing
economic
climate
due
to
covet
19,
but
we
believe
that
these
arrangements
are
something
that
are,
you
know,
a
benefit
to
customers
who
are
having
a
difficult
time
staying
up
to
date
with
their
bills,
and
so
it's
our
expectation
to
maintain
those
flexible
payment
arrangements
and
allow
people
who
stay
current
to
have
some
of
their
balances
forgiven
as
they
remain
current.
So
that's
what
we
call
an
errage
forgiveness
program.
C
We're
continuing
to
replace
lead
lines,
we'll
go
into
a
little
more
detail
there,
but
those
efforts
continue
and
thanks
in
part
to
federal
funding
and
other
resources,
we're
able
to
do
more
than
we
envisioned
around
this
time.
Last
year.
Our
capital
improvement
program
continues
to
advance.
We
we
have
seen
some
unexpected
delays
due
to
the
long
lead
times
it
takes
to
get
permits
approved
by
the
state
for
some
of
these
large
capital
projects.
C
But
we
are
still
approaching
our
record
level
of
investment
on
the
capital
improvement
side
this
year
and
we
expect
next
year
to
be
certainly
record
setting
in
terms
of
the
amount
of
construction
activity
that
we
are
going
to
have
across
the
city,
and
I
touched
on
that
last
bullet
at
the
outset.
So
we
can
go
ahead
to
the
next
slide.
C
Now
you
know
in
talking
about
our
culture
and
the
professionalization
of
our
workforce,
a
lot
of
that
hinges
on
our
environmental
compliance
and
making
sure
that
we
are
doing
everything
that
we
can
to
make
sure
that
we
do
not
run
afoul
of
our
obligations
to
our
regulators,
of
which
we
have
many
the
department
of
environmental
protection
epa.
C
We
have
the
public
utility
commission,
among
others,
that
have
various
pieces
and
parts
of
our
regulatory
framework
and
in
acknowledging
some
of
our
past
failures
that
were
due
to
non-compliance
and
it
as
part
of
settlement
agreements
that
we
have
with
our
regulators
this
year.
I
believe
it
was
in
march
of
this
year
we
hired
our
chief
of
environmental
compliance
and
ethics,
and
this
individual
is
reports
directly
to
me.
We
meet
on
a
weekly
basis
and
we
cover
all
things:
ethics
and
environmental
compliance.
C
C
Those
all
have
specific
compliance
obligations
and
we
are
beginning
to
get
our
arms
around
all
of
those
and
making
sure
that
we
are
up
to
date
with
all
of
our
permitting
all
of
our
reporting
and
also,
very
importantly,
that
our
people
are
getting
trained
and
that
they
take
ownership.
Environmental
compliance
is
not
just
the
responsibility
of
our
chief.
C
It
is
everyone's
responsibility
to
make
sure
that
we
continue
to
improve
and
stay
on
the
right
trajectory
and,
I
think,
there's
you
know
also
a
recognition
that
environmental
regulations
are
evolving
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we
are
in
lockstep
with
changing
regulatory
environments,
whether
it's
related
to
updating
the
lead
and
copper
rule
with
drinking
water
quality
and
we're
also
looking
at
changes
to
epa
and
state
guidance
as
it
relates
to
pfos
and
legacy
contaminants
that
are
in
our
source,
water.
C
So
a
lot
of
activity
and
a
lot
of
prioritization
placed
on
environmental
compliance
in
the
last
year,
and
it's
it's
already
bearing
a
lot
of
fruit,
and
we
have
made
a
lot
of
improvement
just
in
a
short
period
of
time
and
we
expect
more
in
the
next
year,
go
ahead
to
the
next
slide.
Jen.
C
So
last
year
we
talked
about
a
shift
from
the
what
we
call
neighborhood
based
individual
led
service
line,
replacement
program
to
a
water
main
based
program
where
we
were
replacing
the
water
main
and
then,
if
we
encountered
lead
on
either
the
public
or
private
side,
we
would
go
ahead
and
replace
that
as
one
single
project.
C
We
did
move
forward
with
that
in
in
this
year,
but
we
are
also
looking
to
bolster
that
neighborhood
program,
thanks
in
part
to
additional
funding
from
penvest
and
the
very
generous
contribution
from
the
city
to
supercharge
our
efforts
to
replace
every
lead
line
that
we
have
remaining
in
our
system,
just
a
quick
review
of
where
things
stand,
with
respect
to
lead
line
replacement
and
our
compliance
with
the
lead
and
copper
rule
and
treatment
requirements.
In
april
19,
we
started
adding
orthophosphate,
which
is
a
new
additive.
C
It's
a
food
grade
additive
that
many
other
utilities
use.
We
added
that
to
our
treatment
process
and
we
observed
the
lead
levels
reduced
greatly
in
july
of
2020.
That
marked
two
rounds
of
compliance
sampling
that
were
below
the
epa
led
action
level,
which
meant
that
we
no
longer
had
a
regulatory
requirement
to
replace
lead
lines,
though
we
kept
our
foot
on
the
gas
pedal
and
we
have
continued
to
replace
lead
lines,
even
though
it
is
not
a
mandate.
C
We
have
an
internal
goal,
but
through
the
end
of
last
week,
actually
we
have
over
8
800
public
led
lines
replaced
since
the
summer
of
2016,
and
we
have
also
replaced
5789
to
be
exact,
private,
led
service
lines
and
we
are
not
doing
partial,
led
service
line
replacements.
Not
only
is
it
a
pwsa
policy
and
has
been
for
some
time.
The
public
utility
commission
now
prohibits
it.
C
So
if
there
is
any
doubt
in
anyone's
head
when
it
comes
to
public
and
private
led
service
line
replacement,
we
are
not
doing
partials
and
if
there
is
an
instance
when
actually
the
the
private
property
owner
does
not
want
us
to
replace
their
lead
line,
the
public
utility
commission
has
said
that
we
cannot
return
them
into
service,
so
we
haven't,
thankfully,
had
to
use
that
pretty
draconian
measure,
but
that
is
out
there,
and
that
is
the
the
way
that
the
state
is
regulating.
C
This
issue
now,
with
respect
to
pwsa,
go
on
to
the
next
slide,
so
it,
as
I
touched
on
the
the
arp
funds,
have
been
a
welcomed
boost
to
the
neighborhood
based
program,
we're
preparing
the
package
now
to
put
it
out
to
bid
for
contractors.
C
We
expect
that
to
that
work
to
begin
in
march,
and
that's
going
to
allow
us
to
work
at
1400
properties
and
the
really
exciting
part
about
this
work.
Is
it's
going
to
be
somewhat
nimble,
we're
going
to
focus
on
specific
properties
where
we
have
a
record
of
elevated
lead
levels
and
we're
also
going
to
focus
on
areas
where
we
believe
that
there
will?
C
There
are
children
present
like
day
cares
schools,
child
care
facilities,
things
along
those
lines
with
the
recognition
that
those
are
the
highest
risk
populations
when
it
comes
to
lead
exposure,
and
if
we
believe
that
they
have
a
lead
service
line,
let's
go
ahead
and
jump
them
in
line
and
replace
those
first.
So
we
are
combining
the
arp
funds
with
funds
that
we
get
via
pen
best
they're
also
in
large
part
federal
funds,
but
that
funding
comes
from
the
state,
whereas
the
arp
funds
came
from
the
federal
government
to
the
city
to
pwsa.
C
The
the
very
exciting
part
is
a
big
slug
of
this
money,
even
on
the
pen.
Best
side
is
grant
funding,
so
we're
not
having
to
take
out
additional
debt
to
do
this
work
and
we
are
able
to
alleviate
some
of
the
potential
rate
burden
or
we're
able
to
do
additional
work
within
our
cip
using
the
rate
dollars.
So
we
love
grant
dollars.
We
know
that
there's
a
lot
more
to
come
along
those
lines
from
the
infrastructure
bill.
We're
currently
wrapping
our
head
around
what
that
might
mean
for
pwsa.
C
So-
and
this
is
just
another
slide
on
the
customer
assistance
programs-
I
I
touched
on
this
earlier,
but
here
are
just
some
specifics
about
the
the
different
elements
that
are
really
enhancements
from
last
year.
For
the
most
part,
these
programs
were
already
in
place,
but
we
felt,
if
we're
asking
more
of
our
customers,
we
need
to
pay
particular
attention
to
those
who
are
unable
to
pay.
C
One
thing
that
isn't
listed
here
in
here
that
is
new
for
this
year
and
we'll
continue
into
next
year,
is
a
dedicated
team
within
customer
service,
conducting
outreach
to
enroll
customers.
C
So
we're
again
we're
we're
not
relying
on
people
to
come
to
us
we're
trying
to
meet
people
where
they
are
we're
trying
to
educate
stakeholders
in
communities
who
might
be
able
to
reach
customers
who
need
help
better
than
we
can
and
then
we're
also
making
things
like
proactive,
outbound
phone
calls
to
customers
if
we're
noticing
either
an
increase
in
water
usage
that
they
may
not
know
about,
and
may
not
be
aware
of
some
of
the
programs.
C
We
have
to
reduce
those
costs
or,
if
it
look,
if
our
records
indicate
they
might
be
eligible
for
some
of
our
other
programs
that
are,
income
based
and
they're,
not
taking
advantage
of
of
them.
They
can
make
that
help
make
that
connection.
We
also
have
a
very
exciting
program
with
duquesne
light
and
people's
gas,
where
we
can
share
customer
information
to
cross
enroll.
C
So
we
know
if,
if
you're
eligible
for
duquesne
lights,
monthly
discount
program,
you're
eligible
for
ours,
let's
again
reduce
that
barrier
to
entry
and
enroll
them
both
at
the
same
time
and
and
that's
another
area
that
we're
looking
to
build
out
in
2022,
we
have
over
5
000
customers
enrolled
in
our
customer
assistance
programs,
which
has
been
a
a
20
plus
percent
bump
from
last
year,
but
we
still
believe-
and
the
data
demonstrates
that
there
are
more
customers
that
are
eligible,
that
we
aren't
reaching
so
we're
going
to
continue
all
of
those
proactive
efforts
in
addition
to
the
programs
we
have
here.
C
C
Depending
on
your
income,
you
might
receive
a
full
reimbursement,
so
that's
another
opportunity
for
people
who
may
not
want
to
wait
for
us
to
reach
them
to
replace
their
lead
line,
that
they
can
take
proactive
effort,
work
with
us
and
find
a
plumber
combine
that
with
potentially
our
field
operations
team
and
get
that
lead
removed
for
them.
C
Any
questions
about
those
programs.
There's
the
url
there
on
the
bottom
and
dollar
energy
fund
is
our
administrator,
but
certainly
recommend
folks
to
just
call
our
main
line,
and
we
can
walk
them
through
any
of
these
thanks
jen
next
slide.
So
this
is
the
20.
This
slide
demonstrates
the
difference
between
the
2021
residential
rates
as
compared
to
the
newly
approved
2022
rates.
As
I
mentioned,
the
new
charge
for
2022
and
will
continue
and
for
the
foreseeable
future,
is
the
storm
water
charge.
C
Now
we,
what
we
call
a
typical
customer
is
a
residential
customer
using
3
000
gallons
of
water
per
month,
and
they
right
now
are
paying
approximately
79
and
beginning
in
january
that
will
bump
up
to
approximately
85,
and
that
includes
the
storm
water
fee,
so
that
would
reflect
an
average
residential
parcel
lots
of
numbers
in
here.
This
information
is
available
on
our
website.
C
The
increase
from
the
for
the
average
bill
discount
program
customer
from
20
2021
to
2022
is
very
small,
so
they
currently
play
that
41.77
cents,
and
this
is
going
to
change
to
43.09.
C
And
that's
because
we
are
discounting
the
what
we
call
the
volumetric
rate,
which
are
our
basic
charges.
We
are
also
discounting
that
storm
water
fee
for
those
customers,
so
we
really
want
to
hold
the
line
with
those
build
discount
customers.
As
I
mentioned,
this
is
a
multi-year
rate
proposal.
The
rate
increases
in
2023
are
much
smaller
on
both
the
the
typical
residential
and
the
bill
discount
customer
as
it
compares
to
2022.
C
D
All
right,
thank
you,
will
and
thank
you
council
for
having
us
here
today
trying
to
get
my
mouse
back
where
it
needs
to
go.
I'd
like
to
present
to
you
today
our
preliminary
2022
operating
budget.
The
pwsa
board
will
vote
to
approve
this
budget
on
december
17th.
D
The
next
largest
section
is
that
debt
service
number.
So
it's
that
darker,
yellow
section
and
we'll
talk
about
that
service
in
in
future.
Slides,
but
just
know
that
debt
service
is
a
large
component
of
our
operating
budget.
The
work
that
pw
pwsa
does
is
capital
intensive,
and
so
that's
what
drives
that
number
and
then
the
final
largest
section
is
our
direct
operating
expenses.
D
And
then
you
can
see
how
we
allocate
the
the
rest
of
the
budget
to
the
various
different
titles
that
we
have
for
salaries
and
benefits.
Our
inventory
things
like
that.
But
those
are
our
three
largest,
and
so
some
of
the
budget
highlights
that
I'd
like
to
share
with
you.
So
we
continue
to
strength,
strengthen
the
financial
health
of
the
organization
by
diversifying
our
funding
sources.
D
So,
let's
take
a
look
at
our
five-year
capital
plan,
so
you
can
see
from
2022
to
2026
the
accelerated
capital
plan
that
we're
setting
forth
the
pwsa
has
large
capital
projects
in
planned
in
planning
and
in
place
for
the
next
five
years.
The
majority
of
this
investment
focuses
on
those
large
critical
components
of
our
system,
like
our
pump
station
pump
stations,
our
rising
mains,
our
sewer
mains
and
our
storage,
most
notably
our
clearwell
out
at
our
water
treatment
plant.
D
We
have
again,
we
intend
to
fund
these
programs
responsibly
with
a
focus
to
keep
rates
low.
We
have
a
great
partnership
with
penvest,
as
will
alluded
to.
We
also
utilize
traditional
borrowing
using
revenue
bonds,
and
we
also
use
paygo
to
to
keep
our
funding.
Diverse
pwsa
continues
to
maintain
a
strong
credit
rating
with
snp,
as
well
as
with
moody's.
D
I
welcome
any
any
questions
or
comments
that
council
members
may
have,
but
I'd
like
to
turn
it
back
over
to
will
for
any
closing
remarks.
C
Thanks
jen,
no,
no
final
remarks
other
than
thank
you
for
indulging
us
to
walk
through
those
and
we're
happy
to
answer
any
questions
you
have
about
pwsa.
A
Great
jen,
if
you
could
take
down
your
screen
here,
we
are,
I
can
see
members
now.
I
think
we
are
joined
by
councilwoman
kale
smith,
president
smith,
and
I
am
wondering
if
you
could
email
that
presentation
to
members,
I
really
enjoyed
it.
C
E
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
thank
you
will
and
jen
for
being
here
and
I
yeah
there's
so
much
that
you're
working
on
these
days,
I'm
just
gonna,
ask
one
very
probably
challenging,
but
but
but
I
think
helpful
question
for
the
public
to
understand
and
for
council
members
to
understand
and
and
all
of
us
really
and
that
is
acknowledging-
that
pwsa
is
playing
catch-up
for
for
decades
of
what
I
would
characterize,
as
disinvestment
in
our
water
infrastructure.
E
While
we
were,
while
the
authority
is
also
working
to
anticipate
future
challenges
and
things
like
lead
line,
replacements
aren't
necessarily
disinvestment
but
sort
of
challenges
that
have
become
more
urgent
and
so
therefore
are
part
of
the
capital
improvement
plans
and
then,
on
a
positive
note,
acknowledging
that
there
is
an
influx
of
federal
funding
both
currently
and
anticipated.
E
E
How
would
how
can
you
easily
kind
of
state
for
the
public
where
the
money
is
going
well
I'll,
say
this
right:
how
how
quickly,
you
think
you'll
be
in
a
position
to
say:
we've
we're
caught
up
on
the
the
the
years
of
disinvestment,
we're
caught
up
to
where
we
need
to
be
and
we're
we're
more
just
maintaining
the
system
and
being
able
to
focus
on
improving,
say
forgetting
the
terminology
exactly
but
being
able
to
anticipate
handling
stormwater
in
a
different
way
to
you
know
account
for
the
changes
that
we'll
experience
through
climate
change
and
being
able
to
really
anticipate
and
we're
doing
that
already,
but
we're
doing
that
alongside
of
catching
up
from
years
of
disinvestment.
E
C
Thank
you,
councilman.
That's
a
great
question.
I'll
need
to
pull
out
the
crystal
ball
a
little
bit,
but
I
do
think
we
will
need
about
10
years
to
catch
up
on
really
the
what
what
we
would
deem
critical
projects
on
the
water
side.
C
So
the
the
slide
that
jen
showed
that
had
our
water
reliability
plan,
many
of
those
projects
we've
agreed
to
with
the
state
and
their
consent
order
mandated
projects,
but
they're
ones
that
we
know
we
need
to
deliver
in
the
near
term
to
give
the
water
system
the
kind
of
resiliency
and
redundancy,
because
we
are
relying
on
components
of
this
water
system
that
are
100
plus
years
old.
C
Like
that
clear,
well,
structure
that
jen
mentioned
and
and
that's
not
a
facility,
you
can
just
replace
in
kind
it's
a
delicate
balancing
act
of
taking
it
offline.
You
need
a
backup
system,
there's
sort
of
a
domino
effect
getting
our
arms
around
those
projects.
You
know,
I
think,
is
really
going
to
take
five
to
seven
years
and
then
there
are
the
some
some
other
projects
on
the
water
side
that
you
know
when
we
think
about
storage
tanks.
We
think
about
our
chemical
facilities,
all
different.
C
I
think
you
know,
assuming
that
we
have
the
capacity
from
the
contractors
that
we're
going
to
be
relying
on
to
get
this
done.
I
think
we
can
get
that
done
in
in
the
seven
to
ten
time
period.
Also,
assuming
the
resources
are
there,
but,
like
you
alluded
to,
we,
we
do
anticipate
having
some
help
from
the
federal
government.
It's
gonna
be
very
important
to
use
the
funds
in
these
next
five
years
in
a
way
to
show
the
value
of
that
kind
of
investment.
C
Quite
honestly,
so
that's
why
I
said
we're
going
to
be
aggressive
in
getting
it
and
then
putting
it
to
its
best
use
to
make
the
case
for
future
areas
of
funding
where
we
have
a
little
bit
of
a
question
mark
on
timeline
is
exactly
how
we're
going
to
approach
stormwater
in
our
combined
sewer
overflow
program.
So
we
are
currently
in
negotiations
with
the
department
of
justice
epa
and
dep
on
exactly
what
our
remedy
will
be.
C
But
a
lot
of
the
work
has
yet
to
be
done
on
exactly
where
to
to
begin
just
because
it's
such
an
immense
undertaking.
So
we
have
our
own
combined
sewer
overflow
obligations,
in
addition
to
playing
a
role
in
what
alka-san
is
trying
to
do
by
regionalizing
some
of
the
sewer
infrastructure.
C
But
it's
doing
the
engineering
work,
it's
again
finding
the
contractors
to
be
able
to
do
the
work
having
the
appropriate
people
be
able
to
manage
it
and
then,
to
a
certain
extent.
Some.
You
know
this
infrastructure
work.
Bloodline.
C
You
do
want
to
to
bleed
that
in
so
hopefully
that
wasn't
too
evasive
of
an
answer,
but
I
I
think
the
the
water
side
is
going
to
be
prioritized
in
in
about
10
years
and
then
20,
plus
or
so
for
us
to
really
meaningfully
address
the
combined
sewer
overflow
issues.
E
E
The
it
just
strikes
me
that
you
know
the
majority
of
people
don't
recognize
how
much
of
our
water
reliability
comes
in
from
systems
and
places
that
they
just
don't
see
every
day
from
you
know,
reservoirs
from
treatment
plants
from
you
know
every
single
part
working
in
the
way
that
it
should
and
being
being
renovated
being
upgraded
in
a
way
that
offers
you
know
the
reliable
water
source
that
we
all
depend
on
and
shouldn't
go
without
saying
that
pwsa,
you
all
were
able
to
do
so:
offer
reliable
water
in
a
reliable
manner
through
a
global
pandemic
without
any
major
problems,
and
that
is
you
know
something
that
I
don't
think
people
recognize
or
would
be
recognized
unless
it
had
gone
wrong
unless
much
like
most
at
most,
you
know
utility
and
city
services.
E
Unless
something
goes
wrong,
you
don't
pay
much
attention
to
it,
and
so
I
didn't
want
it
to
go
without
saying
that.
That
is
quite
a
feat,
and
you
should
something
you
should
be
proud
of
something
that
our
former
board
chair,
paul
leger
was
always
mindful
of
and
willing
to
say
out
loud.
E
So
I
wanted
to
echo
that-
and
I
think
that
you
know
another
thing-
that
you
said
that
resonated
with
me
was
the
ability
for
contractors
to
be
available
to
do
this
work
in
the
time
frame,
we're
looking
for
putting
aside
bureaucracy
and
permitting
and
state
permits,
and
all
of
that
we
need
to
have
the
contractors
and
the
talent
ready
to
go
to
do
this
work
even
more
reason
why
you
know
pbsa
the
city.
Perhaps
the
ura
should
work
together
to
build
that
pipeline
of
workers
and
workforce
development
to
take
the
burgeoning
smaller.
E
You
know,
contractors
that
might
not
be
ready
for
the
big
work.
How
do
we
pair
them
with
other
contractors
build
their
experience
level,
given
the
projects
ensure
that
you
know
diverse,
set
of
women,
minority
owned
and
veteran-owned
contractors
are
building
those
skills,
and
so
we
have
that
greater
pool
of
talent
to
pull
from
in
the
next
10
to
20
years.
On
all
of
these
items
from
stormwater
to
you
know
to
water
treatment
rip,
you
know
upgrades
to
asphalt
and
concrete
paving.
C
C
So
if
there
is
anyone
tuning
in
or
if
anyone
here
today
knows
of
a
good
candidate,
we
certainly
recognize
that
workforce
development
need,
and
we
want
to
think
about
these
things
now
as
these
larger
projects
approach.
So
we
do
have
that
pipeline
and
something
that
I
feel
strongly
about
is
I
want
our
rate
payers
to
have
an
opportunity
to
either
work
at
pwsa
or
work
for
a
contractor,
doing
work
at
pwsa,
so
they
benefit
from
the
investments
that
we're
asking
them
to
make
by
paying
their
rates.
So
thank
you
for
your
comments.
E
Thank
you
that
that
was
not
an
intentional
setup,
but
I'm
glad
it
worked
out
that
way
and
those
those
wrap
up
my
comments,
so
thank
you.
Thank
you
both
thank
you,
madam
chair
councilwoman,.
A
I
don't
see
councilwoman
smith
still
with
us,
so
she
must
have
had
to
step
away.
So
I
have
just
a
few
questions
as
well.
I
was
happy
to
see
that
you're
expanding
the
cash
assistance
programs.
A
Thank
you
for
that
all
the
customer
assistance
programs
and
it's
so
incredibly
important
that,
as
we
are
rebuilding
the
system
and
raising
rates
that
we
adjust
them
to
people's
ability
to
pay
right.
So
it's
you
know
we're
not
selling
toothpaste
here,
people
need
their
water
and
it's
really
important
that
we
keep
our
our
water
customers.
A
I'm
also
happy
to
see
that
we're
still
making
progress
on
the
lead
service
lines,
having
lived
through
that
effort
to
get
the
ability
to
do
the
full
replacements
and
having
to
stand
up
with
the
board
to
refuse
to
do
the
partials,
I'm
curious
about
this
ppc
ruling.
Does
it
apply
only
to
pwsa
this
ban
on
partials.
C
It
it
does,
and
at
least
that
is
my
understanding
as
of
right
now,
so
I
I,
the
puc,
I
know,
is
looking
at
a
utilities
wide
rule
for
replacing
lead
service
lines.
I
just
don't
think
it
is
at
the
final
stages
yet
so
it
could
be
coming
for
other
utilities,
but
I
can
safely
say
the
the
standard
that's
imposed
upon
us
is
not
imposed
upon
other
utilities
yep
at
least
locally
here
in
western
pa.
A
A
But
I
am
not
recalling
if
our
role
of
council
was
actually
addressed
to
the
puc
and
if
it
wasn't,
maybe
we
need
to
revisit
that
and
address
our
will
of
counsel
to
the
puc.
Who
has
the
power
to
to
create
that
ban
on
partial
lead
line
replacements
for
every
city
resident
impacted
by
no
matter
what
water
authority,
their
water
corporation,
they're,
served
by.
A
So
good
good.
Thank
you
for
pointing
out,
including
that
in
your
presentation,
also
at
the
very
top
of
the
there
was
a
lot
of
great
information.
But
back
to
the
very
top
of
the
discussion.
A
We
talked
about
how
there
are
kind
of
new
payments
with
the
piece
with
the
pwsa
and
city
cooperative
agreement.
And
again
this
was
going
back
pre-coveted
when
we
did
this.
But
if
we
could
just
kind
of
highlight,
I
can
try
to
summarize,
but
I
might
not
remember
it
all
accurately,
because
I
don't
live
it
every
day,
like
you
all
do,
but
that
we
really
tried
to
make
more
specific
the
various
ways
that
we
operate
together.
A
That's
what
a
cooperation
agreement
is
right
and
so
who's
providing
which
thing
and
how
much
does
either
of
the
party
charge
for
that
thing.
So
when
we're
talking
about
pensions
when
we're
talking
about
stormwater
obligations,
replacing
water
lines
when
they're
in
a
park
or
not
in
a
park
or
on
city
property,
those
things
hadn't
been
spelled
out
as
clearly
so
maybe
we
can
kind
of
give
us
a
refresh
about.
There
are
monies
that
are
exchanged
back
and
forth
and
there
are
responsibilities
that
are
shared
back
and
forth.
C
D
Sure,
yes,
we
do
have
the
cooperation
agreement
in
place
now,
where
each
entity
provides
various
services
to
the
other
entity
for
payment
payments
to
the
city
from
the
pwsa
include
things
like
pension
reimbursement
permits
and
licenses.
D
D
Those
alka
sub
sand
charges
that
we
collect
on
behalf
of
alka-san
50
of
the
metering
costs
for
city
facilities
and
I'm
happy
to
report
that
the
department
of
public
works
has
worked
very
well
with
our
folks
to
ensure
that
all
of
the
city's
facilities
have
been
metered.
I
think
we
have
maybe
four
left
that
we
need
a
contractor
to
address
for
both
of
us.
The
city
also
pays
hydrant
charges
within
the
city
of
pittsburgh
and
the
pwsa
I
left.
One
out
also
pays
perta.
F
D
To
the
city
as
well,
and
so
last
year's
payments,
we
go
through
the
effort
of
our
department
of
finance,
as
well
as
the
office
of
management
budget
and
the
department
of
finance
at
the
city,
to
ensure
that
we
have
both
charges
all
lined
out
and
then
create
an
equalization
payment.
And
so
the
pwsa
paid
the
city
over
four
million
dollars
last
year
for
the
services
rendered
by
the
city.
A
So
it
was
down
a
bit
and
but
it
was
absolutely
invoiced
basically
right.
So
yes,.
D
A
I'll
just
add
in
that,
when
this
was
first
under
consideration,
I
remember
giving
a
quote
to
a
media
outlet
and
saying
you
know:
the
swimming
pools
will
still
be
filled.
It's
just
a
matter
of
which
bill
you,
it
will
be
paid
for
right.
Are
you
paying
for
it
on
your
pwsa
bill
or
you're
paying
for
it
on
your
city,
property
tax
bill,
or
some
other
way
did
that
much
to
my
chagrin,
we
didn't
open
about
15
pools
this
year,
maybe
18.
A
and
part
of
the
reason.
Why
is
that
they
were
in
such
bad
repair
that
the
they
were
leaking
water
every
day?
And
so
it's
now,
I
think,
important,
that
we
know
that
it
was
painful.
A
You
know
we
were
told
that
partly
it
was
because
we
couldn't
get
lifeguards,
but
when
we
pressed
it
was
also
because
that
was
their
significant
repairs
that
are
needed,
especially
in
the
swimming
pools.
But
on
the
other
hand,
those
pools
had
been
leaking
for
quite
some
time
and
we
were
just
pouring
water
into
the
ground.
A
So
in
some
ways
it's
better
to
do
the
bookkeeping
it's
better
to
own
up
and
face
the
things
that
are
broken
so
that
we
can
know
them.
We
can
identify
them,
we
can
discuss
them,
prioritize
them
and
and
get
them
fixed.
So
I
do
think
in
the
end.
I
was
deeply
disappointed
about
the
swimming
pools
and
ironically,
it
was
the
example
that
I
had
thought
of
to
talk
about
several
years
earlier.
A
But
we,
our
goal,
is
to
get
those
pools
reopened
and
not
leaking,
and
then
we
won't
have
an
outrageous
pwc
water
bill
to
pay
when
we
told
them
so
I'll.
Just
move
on
to
that,
I'm
glad
to
hear
about
again
the
expanded,
expanded
customer
assistance
programs,
I'm
glad
to
learn
that
the
puc
is
able
to
do
fans
on
partial
replacements,
and
I
hope
that
they
will
expand
that
to
other
water
providers
and
I'll
note
that
I
don't
think
it's
anything
we
can
answer
now.
A
But
when
I
kind
of
get
your
presentation
by
email,
I
really
appreciated
seeing
the
sizable
bar
charts
of
how
big
the
capital
improvement
plans
are
annually
and
I
think
somewhere.
In
the
back
of
my
brain,
I
probably
saw
one
of
those
about
the
1990s
and
the
2000s,
showing
how
teeny
tiny
those
bars
would
have
been
right.
And
so
I
think
it
would
be
nice
to
see
a
contrast
if
we're
able,
because
those
bar
charts
are
somewhere.
A
Probably
it
really
again
gives
us
a
graphic,
a
picture
of
the
contrast
of
of
that
when
we
say
we're
making
up
for
lack
of
improvements
and
lack
of
maintenance
and
lack
of
replacements.
It's
really
dramatic.
A
It
had
been
decimated,
in
my
opinion,
by
the
privatized
overseers
and
I
am
really
happy
to
see
so
much
skill
and
capacity
in
the
organizational
chart
at
pwsa
that
you're
able
to
execute
huge
repairs
and
replacements
which
are
desperately
needed.
So
congratulations
on
rebuilding
the
organization
as
well.
A
And
then,
similarly,
as
we
move
forward
with
stormwater,
I
I
appreciate
that
you
mentioned
director
that
there's
really
the
big
question
is
going
to
be
where
to
begin
again.
A
We
lived
through
this
as
an
authority
when
we
were
faced
with
the
lead
crisis,
knowing
that
we
didn't
no
one
had
kept
records
for
100
years
of
which
houses
had
lead
lines
or
didn't,
and
we
just
had
to
decide
where
to
begin,
because
you
can't
begin
everywhere
all
at
once,
and
we
did
prioritize
the
low
and
moderate
income
neighborhoods
neighborhoods
with
the
low
and
moderate
income
neighborhoods
that
had
a
high
portion
of
children
in
those
neighborhoods
and
that
had
the
high
density
of
bloodlines
as
we
found
them,
and
so
I'm
anticipating
it
may
not
be
the
same
rubric
for
stormwater,
but
that
there
should
be
an
equity
issue.
A
You
know
an
equity
element,
I
always
kind
of
think
of
them
as
gis
layers,
so
that
you
can
kind
of
get
to
where
your
hot
spots
are.
But
then
are
you
know,
of
course,
causing
the
places
that
are
causing
overflow
and
then
and
a
reminder
that
both
in
the
water
systems
and
in
the
stormwater
systems,
you
know
for
the
public.
These
are
kind
of
discrete
maps
right,
so
they're
always
like
branches
of
trees,
either
the
sewer
lines
coming
to
trunk
lines.
A
But
similarly
the
is
it
pressure
districts
in
the
water
systems
right
and
so
that
we
get
some
of
these
up
to
a
functional
system
can
really
bring
down
all
the
runoff,
all
the
sinkholes,
all
the
problems
that
we
see,
and
so
it's
a
matter
of
kind
of
we'll
have
to
have.
I
think,
public
conversations
about
where,
where
to
start
so
yeah.
A
So
let
us
know
about
that
too,
because
I
I
now
I
understand
it's
difficult,
it's
more
difficult
for
us
to
have
these
conversations,
but
we're
also
dealing
with
the
timelines
with
the
puc
and
their
kind
of
windows
of
operation.
So
please
keep
us
well
informed,
so
that
we
can
do
the
kind
of
community
conversations
engagement.
But
I
know
pwc
went
around
the
entire
city
during
the
lead
line
replacement
plans.
C
Yeah,
that's
a
an
excellent
point
when
it
comes
to
prioritization
and
one
that
we're
looking
at
through
our
stormwater
master
planning
process,
and
we
we
do
have
a
community
engagement
component
of
that,
where
we'll
have
neighborhood
ambassadors,
helping
us
identify
those
problem
areas
and
in
your
absolutely
correct
councilwoman,
that
we
need
to
come
up
with
the
list
of
need
and
then
overlay
it
with
that
environmental
justice
and
equity
lens
to
make
sure
that
we're
making
the
the
right
investments
in
the
right
locations
first
and
then
we
take
that
priority
approach.
So
we're.
A
Thank
you.
I
think
those
are
all
my
questions
that
I
don't
see
that
we've
been
joined
by
any
other
members,
councilman
strasberger
did
you
have
anything
additional.
A
Wonderful,
okay:
I
think
that
brings
us
to
the
end
of
this
budget
hearing,
thank
you
all
for
being
here
and
for
your
work,
and
I
hope
you
have
a
wonderful
thanksgiving
and
I
am
going
to
call
this
meeting
in
recess
and
I
have
lost
the
note
that
I
was
sent
about
our
next
budget
hearing.
Is
there
anybody
on
the
line?
Who
knows
what
that
is.
B
Yes,
we're
gonna
see
speak
with
alka-san
next.
A
A
We
won't
actually
recess
that
bear
with
us
we'll
ask
mr
finer
to
remove
you
from
the
room
and
actually
why
don't
we
do
that?
Why
don't
we
take
a
five
minute
recess,
even
though
it
might
be
dead,
youtube
air
time,
we'll
take
a
five
minute
recess,
and
that
way
we
can
get
you
all
out
of
the
webinar
and
get
elka-san
in
and
then
we
can
all
turn
our
cameras
back
on
be
right.
Back.
A
So
chair
of
intergovernmental
affairs
for
pittsburgh
city
council-
and
we
are
reconvened
for
our
continuing
budget
hearings
today
with
elkasand
the
allegheny
county
sanitary
authority,
I
will
hand
it
off
to
bill
urbenik.
Our
budget
director
he'll
give
us
a
summary
for
city
council
and
then
we'll
help
from
elkason
directly.
B
Excellent,
the
allegheny
county
sanitary
authority
acronym
al-qasan,
located
along
the
ohio
river
of
pittsburgh's
north
side.
The
allegheny
county
sanitary
authority
provides
wastewater
treatment.
Services
to
83
communities,
including
the
city
of
pittsburgh.
Alka-San's
59-acre
treatment
plant
is
one
of
the
largest
wastewater
treatment
facilities
in
the
ohio
river
valley.
B
B
The
authority
is
governed
by
a
seven
member
board
of
directors,
three
appointed
by
the
mayor's
office
in
the
city,
three
appointed
by
the
allegheny
county
chief
executive
and
then
there's
one
joint
appointment,
councilman
cory.
O'connor
is
city
council's
representative
on
the
alka-san
board
budgetary
impact.
B
As
noted
in
the
pwsa
highlights,
we
have
the
sewer
expenditure
lineup,
which
remains
steady.
Alka-San,
contributed
two
grants
to
the
city
projects
appearing
in
the
grants
appendix
of
the
operating
budget
thousand
nine
hundred
dollars
to
first
tee
shanley
park,
storm
water
project
that
has
been
completely
spent
down
three
hundred
and
fifty
two
thousand
and
forty
seven
dollars
to
whiteman
park.
None
of
that
grant
has
yet
to
been
spent
as
of
last
month.
I
know
alka-san
is
also
involved
in
other
projects
related
to
the
pwsa-2
within
both
the
city
and
the
region.
A
Thank
you,
mr
bannock,
hello,
and
welcome.
We
we'll
have
everyone,
film
elkason
introduce
themselves,
and
you
can
start
your
presentation.
If
you've
got
a
visual
presentation,
you
should
be
able
to
share
screen.
F
F
F
F
F
We
are
not
coming
to
share
an
overview
of
the
authority,
we're
not
going
to
get
into
critical
projects
again.
We've
simply
come
to
share
the
budget.
Hopefully
that
will
allow
you
to
achieve
your
recess
as
quickly
as
possible.
We
will
be
pleased
to
come
back
to
council
and
do
a
comprehensive
update
and
overview,
because
there
are
many
things
going
on
with
the
authority
as
we
continue
working
through
consent,
decree
compliance
and
implementation
of
clean
water
program
projects.
F
G
Okay,
the
budget
process
itself.
When
we
talk
about
the
alphasam
budget,
it's
a
five-month-long
process.
We
actually
start
the
budget
process
in
august,
we
close
the
august
financial
statements
and
then
we
start
working
on
it
in
our
departments
and
all
every
department
is
involved
in
the
budget
process.
They
look
at
their
worksheets.
They
look
at
last
year's
numbers
where
they
think
they're
going
to
finish
the
current
fiscal
year
and
then
what
they
believe
will
be
the
best
guess,
based
on
the
assumptions
for
next
year
for
2022
after
they
complete
those
instructions.
G
That
information
is
also
going
to
be
provided
to
our
consulting
engineers,
which
is
hatch,
hatch,
is
required
under
our
trust,
indenture
to
review
not
only
our
budgeted
information,
but
they
also
provide
a
separate
report
on
our
insurances
on
the
maintenance
and
health
of
the
facilities.
Whether
or
not
we,
the
facilities
are
being
maintained
in
a
manner
that
is
described
by
the
trust
and
denture.
G
G
The
last
one
actually
concluded
this
year
in
2021,
so
we
went
out
for
2022
to
2026,
which
is
a
five-year
rate
resolution
that
was
approved
by
the
board
in
october,
and
so
we
were
able
to
use
that
information.
As
far
as
our
revenue
structure
is
concerned,
in
the
2022
budget,
where
we're
at
now
is
the
board
has
been
given
the
budget
for
the
review
they're.
G
Some
highlights
for
the
2022
budget.
Again,
we
have
a
seven
percent
rate
increase
for
2022,
that
is
in
line
with
the
rate
increases
we've
had
for
the
last
three
years,
so
we've
had
seven
percent
for
19,
20
and
21
as
well.
The
seven
percent
is
going
to
be
consistent
with
the
five
year
resolution.
It's
gonna
be
seven
percent
for
2022,
2023,
24,
25
and
26..
G
This
budget
will
also
provide
an
additional
13.7
million
for
funding
for
self-funded
capital.
What
that
means
is
included
in
the
rate
model
that
we
look
we
looked
at
when
we
did
the
rate
study.
We
are
going
to
be
required
to
self-fund
capital.
That's
but
that's
capital,
that's
not
being
funded
with
bond
proceeds
to
the
tune
of
about
900
million
dollars
within
the
next
15
years.
So
we
do
have
some
cash
reserves
set
aside
in
our
operating
account.
G
We're
also
very
pleased
to
report
that
this
budget
increases
our
clean
water
assistance
payments
for
our
most
vulnerable
ratepayers
for
the
fourth
year.
In
a
row,
we're
increasing
that
quarterly
payment
by
five
dollars
a
quarter
to
forty
dollars
a
quarter,
that's
a
significant
jump.
It's
the
largest
jump
we've
had
since
we
started
the
program
back
in
2017..
G
What
that
program
does
is
it
provides
for
roughly
one
month
out
of
a
quarter
so
four
months
out
of
a
year
of
of
sewer
surge
for
those
repairs
that
qualify
under
the
income
requirements
for
that
program?
G
That
program
is
administered
by
the
dollar
energy
fund
and
we're
very
pleased
to
say
that
we
were
able
to
increase
that
substantially
this
year.
The
budget
also
improves
our
coverage
ratios
and
our
liquidity
for
our
debt
service
and
it
meets
all
the
requirements
of
our
trust
indenture.
G
G
G
Things
such
as
water,
efficient,
toilets
showers,
washing
machines,
dishwashers
use
less
water.
So
it's
great
that
you're
able
to
conserve
water,
but
when
there's
less
water
being
used,
we
bill
less,
so
those
charges
decrease
each
year,
so
we've
never
recognized
the
whole
rate
increase
at
in
any
given
year.
G
G
So
when
we
look
at
our
operating
expenses
that
are
budgeted
we're
looking
here
as
where
we
are
from
a
functional
category,
so
our
interceptor
systems,
which
is
our
regionalization,
it's
it's
the
people
that
going
out
and
servicing
and
cleaning
our
regionalized
sewers
or
about
12
million
dollars.
Operations
and
maintenance
is
about
26
million
and
you
can
read
through
here.
I
don't
want
to
read
through
this
for
you,
but
as
you
get
down
here,
our
total
of
all
our
departments
is
104
million
dollars.
G
One
thing
I
do
want
to
point
out
is
our
employee
benefits.
We
were
able
to
recognize
a
decrease
in
our
prescription
drug
and
our
our
health
benefits
by
about
almost
two
percent
this
year,
and
that
is
largely
attributed
to
our
wellness
program.
We
have
an
outstanding
wellness
program
which
has
been
able
to
save
the
authority
quite
quite
a
few
dollars
over
the
last
three
years.
We're
very
proud
of
that
program.
G
Capital
spending-
always
I
mentioned
before-
that
this
is
going
to
be
the
heavy
lift
for
for
2022
and
really
2022
through
2036.
This
is
where
we're
going
to
be
spending
a
lot
of
our
time.
Director
kennedy
again
will
be
highlighting
some
of
the
larger
of
these
projects,
but,
as
you
can
see
here,
there's
a
lot
going
on
in
the
plant
right
now.
We
have
five
projects
going
on
right
now,
just
related
to
plant
expansion
in
the
plant
right
now
all
related
to
the
clean
water
program.
G
We
concluded
some
projects
this
year.
This
is
a
pretty
small
list
compared
to
what
we
expect
to
happen
in
the
near
term.
I
expect
by
2025.
Well,
this
list
of
completed
projects
will
be
much
more
substantial
and
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
director
kim
kennedy
for
this
next
slide.
Please
thanks
karen.
H
H
H
Same
with
east
ted
works
that
started
also
this
year,
that'll
be
done
a
little
sooner.
I
believe
that's
scheduled
to
be
completed
in
2023,
but
again,
a
big
year
next
year
with
a
40
million
dollar
anticipated
spend
our
environmental
compliance
facility
is
also
the
cost
associated
with.
That
is
also
a
parking
garage
which
will
be
done
in
the
spring
and
then
the
building
for
the
environmental
compliance
facility
will
be
bid.
H
That
project
is
important
because
it
needs
to
be
built
before
we
can
build
our
two
more
primary
sedimentation
basins,
because
the
buildings
that
will
house
the
environmental
compliance
folks
will
need
to
be
demolished
in
order
to
build
the
additional
primary
tanks.
So
that's
on
the
critical
path,
no
doubt
and
then
the
cso
bypass
and
disinfection.
That
actually
is
not
in
construction
yet,
but
we
would
expect
it
to
be
bid
early
next
year
and
get
a
bunch
of
work
done
next
year
and
the
plant
electrical
distribution
upgrade
is
in
process.
H
We
also
have
a
regional
conveyance
job
that
we're
expecting
just
under
15
million
dollars
to
be
spent
next
year
for
the
mon
and
sawmill
run
interceptor
sub-aqueous
and
then
the
last
two
big
spends
heavy
spends
for
2022
are
the
associated
with
the
regional
conveyance
facilities,
the
tunnels
that
will
convey
the
additional
flow
to
the
treatment
plan.
So
we've
got
a
tunnel
program
manager
and
then,
just
in
november,
we
issued
notice
to
proceed
to
the
ohio
river
tunnel
final
design
team.
H
Those
designs
will
take
two
years
at
least
two
years,
if
not
a
little
bit
more
and
then
that
is
also
there's
a
pretty
heavy
lift
for
the
permitting
associated
with
that,
and
we
would
expect
that
construction
to
start
in
2025.
G
So
back
to
rates,
we
talked
about
a
7
rate
increase
between
2021
and
2022.
So
what
does
that
mean
to
our
average
ratepayer
you're?
Looking
at
an
increase
annually
of
a
slightly
more
than
35
dollars?
Is
35.60
a
year
or
almost
three
dollars
a
month,
then,
with
the
increase
that
we've
made
into
the
clean
water
assistance
fund,
that
will
reduce
that
for
those
low
income
rate
payers
down
to
an
annual
impact
of
fifteen
dollars
and
sixty
cents,
because
we've
increased
that
quarterly
payment
by
five
dollars
or
twenty
dollars
a
year.
G
G
They
really
they
really
liked
the
authority
we're
very
strong
credit
s.
P,
updated
us
back
in
2018
with
us.
Now
we're
stable
outlook
with
a
plus
one
of
the
things
that
they
talk
about.
For
our
credit,
strengths
is
our
consistent
five
strong
financial
statements,
our
debt
service,
coverages.
They
talk
about
our
long-term
rate
plan.
They
they
really
like
the
long-term
rate
plans
that
we
have
in
place.
G
We
have
an
experience,
management
team
and
one
of
the
other
things
that
the
rating
agencies
really
liked
was
the
flexibility
that
we
have
in
our
consent
decree.
What
are
some
of
the
credit
challenges
facing
alchestan?
The
consent
decree
that
we're
under
is
substantial
both
in
terms
of
cost
and
scope.
There's
a
lot
of
work
that
was
going
to
need
to
be
done
in
the
next
15
years.
There's
a
lot
of
work
that
we're
going
to
need
to
be
able
to
fund
into
finance.
G
G
We
are
going
to
have
substantial
future
debt
required
to
fund
capital
projects
and
unfortunately
there
that
is
going
to
be
the
case.
We
do
go
out
and
we
have
our
director
of
government
relations
who
is
looking
for
grants
looking
for
additional
funding,
that
we
can
do
that,
isn't
rate
payer
funded,
but
right
now,
alka-san
is
almost
100
percent
funded
through
our
ratepayers.
G
A
E
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
thank
you
to
everyone
from
alakazam
for
your
presentation
for
being
here
today
and
the
work
that
you
do
every
day
similar
to
pwsa.
You
are
doing
the
work
to
keep
our
city
running,
keep
our
region
running
in
ways
that
people
don't
normally
notice
or
pay
too
much
attention
to
until
they
get
their
monthly
bill,
but
they're
paying
for
services
that
are
crucial
and
were
not
for
you.
We
would
we
would
not
be
able
to
to
function
as
a
society.
So
thank
you,
especially
during
this
last
year,
in
a
global
pandemic.
E
I
also
wanted
to
thank
you
for
your
investment
in
the
stormwater
feature
at
whiteman
park,
which
is
in
the
district
I
represent.
It
is,
I
know
the
second
phase
is
still
underway,
so
it's
yet
to
sort
of
fully
really
be
realized
in
terms
of
a
stormwater
impact.
But
already
you
know
it's
just
generating
a
lot
of
excitement,
and
already
our
you
know,
pony
league
and
coach
pitch
baseball
teams
are
able
to
play
there
without.
E
B
E
I
think
you
know
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
utilities.
A
lot
of
authorities
are
in
a
similar
situation
where-
and
I
appreciate
you
being
honest
with
your
credit
challenges,
because
you
know
I
understand
there
are
major
major
upgrades
that
you
have
to
make
and
a
lot
of
these
are
years
or
decades
in
the
in
the
making.
E
Do
you
well,
I
guess
a
couple
questions
one:
do
you
anticipate
increased
rates
if
you're
not
able
to
find
additional
sources
of
funding
beyond
the
the
bonds
and
beyond
any
kind
of
sources
of
funding
increase
rates
into
the
future
that
are
commensurate
with
the
rate
increase
that
we're
seeing
this
year
and
two.
E
F
F
We
are
seeking
some
of
that
federal
money.
Just
like
everybody
else.
We
have
made
a
commitment
that
if
significant
funding
comes
to
the
authority-
and
we
can
somehow
shape
what
we
have
put
in
place
for
this
next
five
year
structure
that
will
be
taken
into
consideration,
but
even
after
that,
we're
going
to
continually
look
to
ways
to
do
more
with
less,
which
ultimately
is
in
the
favor
of
the
ratepayer.
F
E
Thank
you
and
I
do
recall,
seeing
the
the
five-year
rate
increase
or
the
rate
plan-
and
I
also
remember
recall,
reading
that
in
the
newspaper.
So
thank
you
for
clarifying
that
and
how
that
might
be
impacted
by
new
or
unexpected
sources
of
funding
that
we
hope
will
continue
into
the
future.
F
E
Thank
you
and
I'll
just
say.
I
hope
that
we
can
continue
to
work
with
with
you
through
pwsa
through
you
know,
a
partnership
with
pwsa
and
alka-san
and
the
grow
grant
program
to
bring
well.
I
know
that
you
know
whiteman
park
is
not
the
only
recipient
or
beneficiary
of
the
grow
grant
program
in
the
district
I
represent.
E
There
are
some
other
stormwater
projects
that
I
believe
are
recipients
as
well
on
chatham,
university's,
campus
and
and
others,
and
I
you
know
what
I
always
say
is.
I
hope
that
we
can
bring
a
white
man
park
to
every
neighborhood
in
the
city,
so
I'll
support
that,
even
if
it's
not
in
the
district
I
represent.
Thank
you.
A
Hello,
okay,
back
to
me,
I
don't
see
any
members
on
the
line,
so
I
will
just
throw
in
a
few
comments
and
I
will
welcome
director
your
offer
to
come
back
and
drill
more
deeply
into
the
infrastructure
specific
projects.
A
So
I
appreciate
that
and
I
think
I'm
going
to
echo
councilwoman
strasberger's
concern,
which
I
shared
when
I
was
on
the
board
of
pwsa.
When
we
created
the
customer
assistance
programs,
we
tried
and
were
stymied
to
figure
out
a
way
to
overlap
those
kinds
of
benefits
and
and
that
we're
we're
each
paying
the
same
vendor
under
separate
contracts.
To
do
basically,
the
same
kinds
of
processing
and
outreach
is
really
frustrating.
A
So
that's
true
across
the
utilities-
and
maybe
this
is
another
area
where
the
puc
could
provide
basically
guidance
or
even
conditions
that
would
bring
down
the
customer
assistance
administration
costs
so
that
we
could
devote
more
of
the
funds
to
actual
customer
assistance
across
a
variety
of
utilities.
So
we
will
look
on
our
calendar
and
talk
to
president
smith
about
a
time
when
it
is
fits
with
council
schedule
to
bring
you
back.
Possibly,
we've
done
post
agendas
before
and
it's
probably
overdue
for
an
update.
A
It
would
be
nice
to
make
space
for
a
robust
conversation.
Fantastic.
Thank
you.
Is
there
anything
else
from
members
or
from
elkasand.
A
That's
great
advice,
that's
good
advice
director.
I
think
that
is
a
perfect
note
on
which
to
recess.
So
I
will
declare
this
meeting
in
recess.
We
will
reconvene
next
week
and
I
don't
have
the
dates
of
our
next
public-
hear
our
budget
hearings
in
front
of
us,
but
for
members
of
the
public
you
can
find
them
on
our
city
website
under
the
city
council's
calendar.
Thank
you.
