How We're Improving
JCW’s Integrated Plan (IP) is a way to balance capital investment to address five primary needs:
-
Community Growth and Redevelopment
-
Aging Infrastructure
-
Wet Weather Management
-
Resource Recovery and Waste Acceptance
-
Regulatory Compliance
After identifying system needs, the IP utilizes a strategic method for delivery. Most project execution methods fall within one of the following four categories:
RENEWAL
Rehabilitating old pipes, manholes, pumping, and treatment facilities.
PLANNING
Proactively preparing for system expansion and improvement efforts needed to support continued growth and redevelopment.
REUSE
Reuse of water by cleaning so it can be returned to the environment for further use. Reusing waste byproducts to minimize environmental impacts, reduce operating costs, and more efficiently use resources.
IMPROVE
Identifying opportunities to improve our level of service by reducing the number of occasional sewer overflows, building backups, and other unplanned discharges caused by major wet weather events.
