Presentation Outline
PUBLIC VOTE TO AUTHORIZE FUNDING
TO ADDRESS AND UPGRADE
AGING INFRASTRUCTURE INCLUDING:
South Division Street Wastewater Pumping Station
Burtville Avenue Wastewater Pumping Station
Roosevelt Drive Wastewater Pumping Station
Roosevelt Drive Forcemain Replacement
Route 34 Downtown Sanitary Sewers
Water Pollution Control Facility Phase I Upgrades
Water Pollution Control Facility Solids Handling System Upgrades
Few capital improvements over the last 30 years
Rapidly deteriorating infrastructure (50 plus years old)
Recurring overflows to the Housatonic River
Skyrocketing operational costs
Skyrocketing sewer use fees
Enhancement of economic development opportunities
Due to these issues, in 2010 the WPCA began a 20-year
Wastewater Facilities Planning Project, which was recently
completed. The plan identified the immediate capital
needs which are included in this referendum

$61 per unit capital recovery fee per year for 2 years
Burtville Avenue Pumping Station - $1,070,000
Roosevelt Drive Pumping Station - $7,460,000
Roosevelt Drive Pumping Station Forcemain - $3,780,000
Route 34 / Downtown Sewer Replacement - $3,660,000
WPCF Solids Handling System Replacement - $5,000,000
WPCF Phase I Upgrades - $8,940,000
Significant Variations in Capital Recovery Cost Per Unit per Year
Capital Recovery
Non-Referendum Approach
Capital Recovery fees would be a special assessment assessed
by the WPCA. Special assessments would be due in full in 30
days.
Assessments could be issued at any time due to the condition of
the equipment, making it difficult for household budgeting
Project assessments may not be staggered resulting in multiple
assessments per year (i.e. $370 for WPCF solids handling and
$365 for Roosevelt Drive Pumping Station or $735 assessed in
one year)
Unpredictability of assessments can result in significant
fluctuations in annual costs per year (i.e. $365 one year to $1,100
the next year)
NOTE:
The capital recovery fees are for project capital costs only. Additional
costs for emergency operations until projects are completed could be
required and are not included
Capital Recovery
Non-Referendum Approach
You are voting on How the capital projects are
paid for not whether the capital projects need to
be completed.
Gives you the choice of How to pay for these
projects.
Why Have a Referendum?
Citywide benefit
Address Administrative Enforcement Actions
from CT DEEP
Stabilizes annual WPCA budget
Stabilizes financial impacts to system users
Addresses Environmental Concerns
Limits cities risk related to emergency
replacement and associated costs /
environmental impacts
Allows for Economic Development and Growth
