SILVER STAR WATERWORKS DISTRICT 2015 Water System Assessment & Capital Plan Update October 2016
Executive Summary This report provides an assessment of the Silver Star Waterworks District’s water system infrastructure, operations and financial position. The findings will be used by the District Trustees, ratepayers, provincial and Township of Spallumcheen in making decisions on future District operations, capital works and water rates. In addition, the documentation and analyses provide the basis for decision-making relative to conversion from an Improvement District to a municipal water local service area under the Township of Spallumcheen. OBJECTIVES The objectives of this report include: • Compilation of documents related to the conversion from an Improvement District to a Township local service area; • An assessment of the District’s infrastructure; • Identification of water system deficiencies; • Investigate changes in operating costs related to conversion; • Develop a water system comprehensive plan; and water system computer network model; • Identification of information gaps as related to the Township’s Improvement District transfer policy; • Identify any required rights-of-way for existing District works; and • Projected capital improvements and water rates required to fund the improvements. FINDINGS The District is one of fourteen water supply Improvement Districts presently existing within the boundaries of the Township of Spallumcheen. A number of studies have recommended amalgamation of the Improvement District operations under the municipality as a practical and cost-effective way for the water ratepayers to meet the challenges of the new drinking water regulations. In recent years several Districts have converted to municipal local service areas.
The Silver Star Waterworks District is presently well-managed, well-operated, and in a sound financial position. Water supply and quality are consistent and meet the needs of the ratepayers. Although the District is not required to provide water supply for fire protection, all areas within the District with single-family residential subdivision development have hydrant spacing and available flow to provide recommended fireflows. CAPITAL PROJECTS Four capital improvement projects have been identified for construction within the period of a 5-Year capital plan. These works will achieve: • completion of the water metering program to enable implementation of a consumption-based rate structure; • acquisition of rights-of-way for existing watermains; • an emergency interconnection with the adjacent Laird Waterworks District; and • replacement of undersized and aged watermain at Highway 97 and Mountainview Road. Funding for these works will initially be from reserve funds and current-year revenues, with borrowing required for projects in year 4.
The report contains a recommended capital plan and financial operating plan. To fund the recommended capital projects and to maintain reserve fund levels it is recommended that the District increase water rates at a uniform annual rate of 5% plus inflation throughout the period of the 5-year capital plan.

LONG-TERM PLANNING Planning should begin for constructing a watermain along Highway 97 following the fifth year of the capital plan. CHALLENGES & FUTURE OPTIONS Small water system owners and managers in B.C. face increasing challenges in conducting their statutory obligations. Increasing water quality regulations, insurance costs and expectations by regulatory agencies and customers have combined to create what many consider to be an undue level of responsibility for Improvement District Trustees. It is increasingly difficult to find ratepayers willing to commit to volunteer management of the water system. The District could operate in its present form as long as the ratepayers are able to find people willing to act as Trustees. The major challenge facing the ratepayers will be funding of capital improvements for infrastructure replacement. Alternatively, ratepayers should consider conversion to a municipal local service area under the Township. The advantages would be reduced operating costs (about $50/connection/year) and the opportunity to secure grant funding for major capital projects. There would likely be no discernable change in the level of service provided under the Township compared to the present District operations. The disadvantage of such a conversion is often cited as loss of control of rates and level of service, however, these issues can often be addressed through a local service area advisory committee.

1. Introduction 1.1 Background The Silver Star Waterworks District (District) is one of 14 water supply Improvement Districts presently existing within the boundaries of the Township of Spallumcheen (Township). The District was incorporated by Letters Patent issued on August 13, 1947. There have been boundary expansions by subsequent Supplementary Letters Patent. A plan showing the District’s service area boundaries is contained in Appendix A. In recent years several Districts have converted from an Improvement District to a municipal local service area of the Township. A number of recent studies have recommended amalgamation of the Improvement District operations under the municipality as the most practical and cost-effective way for the water ratepayers to meet the challenges of the new drinking water regulations. Kerr Wood Leidal Associates Ltd. (KWL) was retained by the District in April 2005, and again in 2011, to examine the District’s operation, infrastructure and assets in light of the Township’s policy on conversion of Improvement District operations. This report provides an up0date to the 2011 report. The primary purpose of this report is to provide an engineering assessment meeting the requirements of the Township’s Policy on Dissolution of Improvement Districts. The report encompasses a technical assessment of the existing water supply infrastructure and provides an upgrading plan for improvements. In 2003 the District made application to the Ministry of Community, Aboriginal & Women’s Services for an Infrastructure Planning Grant for the assessment. The application documents and Trustees’ resolution are contained in Appendix B. In 2005 the District received confirmation of the grant funding. Several events have prompted the Board of Trustees and ratepayers to consider alternative means of funding water system improvements and, potentially, transfer of the water supply works to the Township of Spallumcheen. This includes: • The potential for undue personal liability for Trustees due to the public water supply environment becoming more litigious; • Increasing time commitment and level of responsibility associated with the management of a public water system in B.C.; • Increasing operating requirements and water quality regulations, and related operating and capital cost increases; • The necessity to dissolve the Improvement District in order to access provincial funding assistance for water system improvements; and • The high costs of insurance and financial audits for an Improvement District compared to operating as a municipal local service area. This report serves to compile and document key information on the District’s operations for the purpose of review and consideration by the Trustees, ratepayers and Township.

This report is compiled within a Report Binder, containing the Assessment Report, Capital Improvement Plan and key District documents. The report binder also includes: • Comprehensive Plan showing the service area and infrastructure; • CDROM containing digital copies of the report, related plans, spreadsheets, scanned documents and the EPAnet water network model; and • Original engineering plans provided by the District for preparation of the comprehensive plan.
1.2 Objectives The purposes of this study are to assess the assets, condition and operation of the water system, and to provide a report to the ratepayers and the Township outlining future improvements and related costs. In the process, the conditions of the Township’s policy on dissolution and transfer of Improvement Districts are addressed. The specific objectives are to: • Compile reference material related to the conversion of an Improvement District to a Township local service area; • Provide an assessment of the District’s infrastructure; • Identify any water system deficiencies; • Investigate changes in water system operating costs to provide information for customer assent to conversion; • Develop a water system comprehensive plan; • Develop a water system computer network model; • Identify information gaps, missing documents and required rights-of-way; and • Forecast capital costs for the improvements and borrowing and rates required for funding the improvements.
1.3 Information Sources & References The information contained in this report was obtained from: • District files and field verification with Trustees; • Regional District of North Okanagan and Township of Spallumcheen files; • Province of B.C. Water Licence Database; • City of Armstrong bulk water supply records; and • The District’s Water System Operator. Background information was also obtained from several earlier reports: • Kerr Wood Leidal Associates Ltd., Spallumcheen Water Districts Governance Study Summary Report, August 2002 (KWL, 2002); • Urban Systems Ltd., District of Spallumcheen Water Services Study, 1992 (USL, 1992); and • Motherwell, J. & Associates Engineering Ltd., 1993 Report on Water System, July 1993 (Motherwell, 1993).

2. Improvement District Conversion Process This section provides reference material related to the process for Improvement District conversion to municipal local service area.
2.1 Provincial Policy & Guidelines Appendix C contains the full text of the Ministry of Community, Aboriginal & Women’s Services Improvement District Conversion Guide. This Guide presents a comprehensive discussion on the processes involved in a service conversion. The key principles of service area conversion include: • The decision is locally-based, upon assent by the Improvement District and municipality; • There are usually no significant changes in the service area or level of service provided; • Improvement District debt remains with the customers of the Improvement District to repay; and • Improvement District assets and reserve funds are transferred to Township, but are reserved for use within the service area for the purposes for which the funds were raised. The Guide refers to transfer to a Regional District throughout, but as the District is wholly contained within the boundaries of a municipality, the transfer would be to the Township.
2.2 Township Policy & Process Appendix D contains the current policy of the Township regarding dissolution and transfer of Improvement Districts. The policy steps are summarized (KWL, 2002) and shown in Appendix D, as follows: Initiation Phase • decision to initiate transfer of service (by the District). Assessment Phase • compile documents, • develop capital plan, and • develop financial plan. Approval Phase • Improvement District approval, • Township (Council) approval, • City of Armstrong approval, and • Provincial approval. This report addresses the ‘Assessment Phase’ requirements. Appendix E is for future insertion of Board of Trustee and Township Council resolutions and/or Provincial correspondence related to conversion of SSWD to a Township LSA.

3. Assessment of Waterworks System 3.1 Introduction The purpose of this section is to document the District’s authority to operate, and to assess the infrastructure, capital and financial assets and key operational aspects. This report contains copies of all District legislative and operating documents.
3.2 Authority to Operate Appendix F contains the Provincial Proclamation (Letters Patent) that established the District on August 13, 1947. In addition, the District and Province have approved nine subsequent amendments to the original Letters Patent, dated from 1968 to 1995. The amendments are for the purposes of: • inclusion or exclusion of certain lands; • revision of terminology; and • deletion of ‘fire protection’ as a responsibility of the District. These documents are contained in Appendix H and summarized in a letter from KWL to the District dated January 28, 2006.
3.3 Water Licenses The source of water supply to the District is typically from Fortune Creek. During spring freshet, for approximately one week, water is supplied from wells when the turbidity levels in Fortune Creek exceeds guidelines. The District holds seven water licences for diversion from Fortune Creek and storage of water in the Silver Star Lakes reservoirs. Appendix G contains copies of all licences, as well as summaries of annual water diversion (2000-2010) versus licenced volumes. The District’s licences allow diversion of 191,387 m3 (42,100,000 imperial gallons) per year. Certain licences also identify the months of the year during which water can be withdrawn. A table and bar graph are included in Appendix G illustrating the licenced withdrawal amounts. The District’s demand does not exceed the licenced volume. On average over the 2000-2010 period the District used 70% of the licenced volume, and during the peak use year (2001) 85% of the licenced volume. There is further discussion in Section 3.13 regarding annual and monthly water demand versus licenced volume. The existence of a water licence is not a guarantee of water supply. The scope of this report does not address the availability of the licenced amount.

3.4 Service Area & Water System As of 2015, the District serves approximately 159 properties of which: • 150 are single family residential; • 4 residential properties with 2 residences on each property; • 5 agricultural; and • 2 un-serviced properties (not counted in the 159 serviced properties).
There are no commercial properties. The formal District boundaries and service area are shown on the large-scale Comprehensive Water System Plan contained in the plan pocket in Appendix X. The District is bounded by four adjacent water supply Improvement Districts, the boundaries of which are also shown on the Comprehensive Plan. Water is supplied to the District via a bulk water supply agreement with the City of Armstrong (City) (Appendix N). The City operates joint storage, disinfection and supply assets for several Improvement Districts, and recovers its operating costs based on the proportion of water supplied annually. The City is responsible for ownership, maintenance and billing from a bulk supply meter on the District’s supply main located near Reservoir Road. The District’s water system consists of a 200 mm supply main from the City’s 400 mm feeder main on Reservoir Road, as well as distribution system consisting of watermains ranging from 100 mm to 200 mm diameter. The water system consists of one pressure zone, with pressures within the limits shown in the following table.
Table 1: District Service Area Elevations & Pressures Static Head Location Elevation (Pressure) Source Fortune Creek Reservoir 436 m 0 Lowest Pressure Hope Dr. / Meggait Rd. 421 m 15 m (21 psi) Highest Pressure Highway 97A 360 m 76 m (108 psi)
In general, the Silver Star Waterworks District is a progressive, well-run small water system, as it has: • a good water quality record; • satisfied customers; • rates reasonably reflective of the value of water; • water disinfection via ultraviolet and chlorine disinfection; • a universal water metering program; • a long-term bulk servicing agreement in place; and • reserve funds and land assets. These aspects are addressed in subsequent sections.
3.5 Operating Permit The District’s first Operating Permit was issued by the Interior Health Authority on July 6, 2005. A copy of the 2014 / 2015 permit validation is contained in Appendix H.
2096.003-300 5
SILVER STAR WATERWORKS DISTRICT 2015 Water System Assessment & Capital Plan Update October 2016
3.6 District Administration The District’s operations are administered by a Board of three elected Trustees as established in the Letters Patent. The Trustees are presently assisted by a Secretary-Treasurer and Water System Operator. The following bylaws and operating documents are contained in the appendices for reference: • current operating and rate bylaws; • financial statements; • annual budget; • insurance; • customer account listing; and • bulk water supply records. There are several watermains located on private property without statutory rights-of-way. This is discussed further in Section 3.10.
3.7 Operator The certified water system operator is currently Taber Services. Contract work is undertaken for: • general system maintenance, • bi-annual fire hydrant maintenance, and • back flow prevention device testing (at the District connection to the City water supply).
3.8 Sampling, Testing & Reporting Protocols Distribution water quality tested monthly. Regular reporting is provided to IHA and MOE.
3.9 Emergency Response Procedures There are currently no written emergency response procedures.
3.10 Standards & Specifications for Infrastructure & Operations There are currently no written and documented standards.
3.11 District Financial Status The District’s 2011 Rates Bylaw and Taxation Bylaw are contained in Appendix I. 2011 rates and taxes are as follows: • $35.00/year tax for all serviced parcels; and • $480.00/dwelling/year toll for all serviced parcels. While the 2015 tax rate is still $35.00/year; the toll rate has increased to $580.00/dwelling/year for all serviced parcels. A 2010 customer account listing is contained in Appendix J.

SILVER STAR WATERWORKS DISTRICT 2015 Water System Assessment & Capital Plan Update October 2016
The District’s audited Financial Statements to December 31, 2010, and 2011 Operating Budget are contained in Appendix K. In summary, the key financial indicators include: • annual revenue (excluding grants, transfers and capital projects) of approximately $82,000; • annual expenditures of approximately $46,000; and • cash and reserve fund balance at end 2010 approximately $50,000. The District presently has no debt and is putting approximately $20,000 per year toward a capital improvement or renewal reserve fund. The District also owns one property (Plan B7164) of approximately 2.62 ha (6.48 acres) located adjacent to the District’s south boundary as shown on the Comprehensive Plan and in Appendix M For 2014, in summary, the key financial indicators include: • annual revenue (excluding grants, transfers and capital projects) of approximately $101,857.87; • annual expenditures of approximately $64,973; and • cash and reserve fund balance at end 2014 approximately $36,884.
3.12 Insurance The District presently holds insurance through a pooled plan including the other Improvement Districts in Spallumcheen. This approach allows the Districts to achieve substantial cost savings compared to insuring each District alone. The policy presently includes General Liability, Error & Omissions, Non-Owned Automobile and Property insurance. In 2014 the District’s share was $2,754, with a forecast of increases in coming years due to increasing premiums, and reduced number of Districts participating in the pool. Insurance arrangements are contained in Appendix L.
3.13 Infrastructure & Assets The District’s built infrastructure is shown on the Comprehensive Plan contained in Appendix X. In addition, the District’s assets include: • inventory of property line water meters; • cash account and reserves; and • land holding Plan B7146 as shown in Appendix M.
3.14 Tenure for Works The District’s works are generally located within Township and Provincial road rights-of-way or statutory rights-of-way in favour of the District. There is an easement registered on the District’s land in favour of the Laird Water District. As is common in many small water systems, a number of the District’s mains are located on customers’ private property. Mains requiring statutory right-of-way are indicated as a proposed capital project, discussed in Section 4.4 and shown graphically (proposed r/w as a green line) in Appendix U.
2096.003-300 7
SILVER STAR WATERWORKS DISTRICT 2015 Water System Assessment & Capital Plan Update October 2016
3.15 Ministry of Transportation & Infrastructure Permits There does not appear to be any specific authorizations for the water system components located in Highway 97. For properties served on the north side of Highway 97 the District does not maintain ownership of the portion of the service located in the highway. The services crossing Highway 97 are the responsibility of each property owner served.
3.16 Current Zoning & Land Use Regulations The current zoning allows for a few additional water connections. The current Agricultural zoning allows for the potential of increased usage, e.g, a large animal operation. A Memorandum of Understanding has been established between the Township and City. The Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the Township and City includes a framework and background for the content of a final agreement between the communities as well as a set of principles. The MOU Section 1 (j) states that: “The Township recognizes that due to capacity, logistical, licensing and other constraints, there are limits on the ability of the City as a purveyor of water to supply and distribute water within the Township”. The MOU in Section 3. Statement of Principles goes on to note in part: (c) Water Master Plan • “The Parties will work collaboratively on a Master Water Plan which will include provision for growth and development in the respective communities and expansion of the system….” (e) Growth and Development • “The Parties would work collaboratively to facilitate growth and development objectives in accordance to their respective Community Plans, identifying potential growth areas etc.” However, for the specific purposes of the individual Water District engineering assessments, as contemplated in the Terms of Reference for such assessments, growth and development (and its potential demand impact on the water infrastructure) is narrowly defined in terms of the Township’s existing zoning and land use regulations and policies as applied within the defined boundaries of each Water District. It does not consider growth and development beyond those boundaries however it does contemplate development and construction within the boundaries of each Water District. To provide a framework for an analysis, in terms of the potential for growth and development within each District, the Township has used a set of assumptions noted below to derive a calculation by applying these assumptions to the Township’s current zoning and other land use regulations and related policies within the boundaries of each District. This analysis specifically includes consideration of the broad land use factors and the extent to which they could facilitate subdivision and other building/ construction which may occur within the Specified Areas and Water Districts, and may affect the demands on the water infrastructure: • Agricultural Land Reserve regulations, • Official Community Plan, • Zoning Bylaw, and • Relate Land Use Policies, permitted uses and regulations.
8 2096.003-300
SILVER STAR WATERWORKS DISTRICT 2015 Water System Assessment & Capital Plan Update October 2016
Following are the general operating assumptions used for the water demand calculations: 1. Each existing lot within the defined boundary of the Specified Area or Water District will ultimately have a residential dwelling and receive water service. 2. In terms of actual subdivision potential, given the constraints of current zoning and the Agricultural Land Reserve it is estimated that 10% of the total lots within each defined boundary are eligible for a home site severance. 3. Each residence may have a secondary suite, but only 50% will ultimately have one. 4. In addition, depending on lot size (and subject to certain conditions) second dwellings may be permitted, in the long term it is estimated that this could be 25% of parcels – this provision therefore could have the impact of increasing residential units to the equivalent of 25% of the number of lots in each water district in the long term. 5. The Township’s 15 year projected annual residential growth rate will continue at approximately 1% (or less) which is consistent with historical rates and similar to assumptions in the Township’s Official Community Plan. In the case of the Silver Star Waterworks District, using 159 as starting point for our calculation of long term growth and development is as follows: • There are 159 lots in the Water District taking all of the following into consideration, based on historic and projected growth rates of 1%, together with current OCP, Zoning, ALR constraints and the specific assumptions noted above the full build out would occur in 2119 with a constant growth rate of 1%; • 157 lots are currently connected to and receiving domestic water service, therefore it is assumed that the other 2 will ultimately be connected; • Subdivision potential - 10% of the existing 159 lots may be ultimately subdivided and an additional 16 lots will be created, totaling 175 lots; • Assumption of one primary residence on a total of 159 lots, with 50% having a secondary suite adding 86 more dwelling units; • Assumption that 25% of the properties may ultimately have a second dwelling on the lot – total of 44 more dwelling units; • Overall increase in potential for dwelling units is 146 totaling 305. This calculation does not consider the current use/demand for water for all domestic use which includes livestock (dairy and chicken facilities which are allowed under the current bulk water agreement); and • Impacts on demand over projected 15-year period at 1% annual ‘residential growth rate’, considering all factors, is an increase equivalent to approximately 1/6th of 146, or 24 dwelling units. The above numbers factor into the overall projected health of the water system going forward.
3.17 Water Metering Program The District’s bulk water use is metered by the City and reported monthly. Historic demands are discussed in Section 3.15 and detailed tables are provided in Appendix O. The District has begun a universal customer water metering program. As of 2015 approximately 100 of the 159 accounts have meter installations complete. Approximately 90% of the meters are located in a
2096.003-300 9
SILVER STAR WATERWORKS DISTRICT 2015 Water System Assessment & Capital Plan Update October 2016
meter coil pit at the property line. 10% are located in pits with fixed pit setters. Typical details on the meters are as follows: • no meters are installed within the homes, all meters are at property line; • meters are from the same manufacturer (Senus); • all pits have double check valves, and are ¾ inch for all residential properties; and • meter readers are the touch pad style. A metered rate structure has not yet been adopted by the District.
3.18 Interconnections with Adjacent Water Systems There are opportunities to develop interconnections with the Laird and Lansdowne Waterworks Districts for emergency or backup supply. The most likely reasons to require use of a backup supply would be contamination, disinfection failure or loss of supply from the Fortune Creek source. Interconnection with Laird Waterworks District would be preferred as their source is deep groundwater wells. Lansdowne, on the other hand, is also supplied from Fortune Creek by the City’s system and hence in some situations be subject to the same problems as Silver Star’s source. An interconnection with the Laird Waterworks District is included in the proposed Capital Plan (Section 4.4).
3.19 Bulk Water Supply & Water Demands The District and City have entered into a Bulk Water Supply Agreement. In 1990 the Comptroller of Water Rights adjudicated a matter between the District and the City over the terms of the bulk water supply arrangement and rates. The Agreement and Comptroller’s decision are contained in Appendix N. The Comptroller’s report contains factual information regarding the District’s historical works and relationship between the District and City regarding the storage and supply works. Recent annual bulk water demands are as follows.
Table 2: SSWD Annual Bulk Water Demands Year Volume (m3) 2013 110,893 2014 83,999 2015 95,186
Appendix O contains tabular monthly flow data for the period 2000 to 2010.
3.20 Water Quality & Treatment The City manages upland storage reservoirs, water treatment and transmission to the District’s metered connection points. The District itself has no treatment, disinfection, filtration or storage facilities. The District does not have records showing the water quality over a period. District Trustees report that there has never been a boil water order issued or water quality problem for the water system.

SILVER STAR WATERWORKS DISTRICT 2015 Water System Assessment & Capital Plan Update October 2016
3.21 Communication Systems Currently the District does not have SCADA or data and alarm recording equipment in place.
3.22 Comparison with Community Water System Standards Comparison of the water system infrastructure and performance relative to current standards, regulations and guidelines indicates that in general the system meets current standards expected for a small rural water system. The Township’s transfer policy indicates that water systems should conform to the current Township Subdivision Servicing Bylaw. The District water system meets the bylaw criteria in the vicinity of the rural-residential development (McLeod Subdivision area). In areas of sparse rural development the main sizes are generally 100 mm diameter and hence bylaw fireflows are not achieved in the sparsely developed areas.
To achieve fireflows in the rural areas the existing 100 mm diameter mains would be replaced by a new 200 mm watermain. This work could range from $190/m to $215/m. It is important to note that the District’s Letters Patent specifically exclude ‘fire protection’ from the District’s objects. Regardless, acceptable water supply for fire protection purposes is generally available throughout the residential area of the District. Appendix Q contains an inventory of the District’s fire hydrants and standpipes. The Township water system standards are generally in line with surrounding local municipalities and their standards. Appendix R contains a copy of ‘Schedule ‘B’ Water Systems’ from the Township’s current Subdivision Servicing Bylaw No. 1404, 1996. The guidelines and bylaw indicate the following fireflow objectives for the District’s service area: Rural Residential - 4,000 to 4,700 L/min Rural - 2,000 to 3,400 L/min Township Bylaw - 4,090 L/min (new systems) - 2,275 L/min (existing water systems servicing lots located in Industrial zones) Appendix S contains a figure illustrating the water system’s present capability to meet residential fireflow rates. The Appendix also contains fireflow requirement calculations for both ‘Rural Residential’ and ‘Rural’ areas according to the Insurers Advisory Organization – Fire Underwriters Survey – Guide for Determination of Required Fireflow. It is noted that the flow rates noted in the figure in Appendix S are derived from a computer network water model. The flows indicated are ‘modelled watermain capacity’, which may be greater than the flow actually available from a specific hydrant or standpipe.
3.23 Hydraulic Model The system flows and pressures indicated in this report are based on results obtained from a computer network model of the water system. The model developed for this report is based on EPAnet modeling software.
2096.003-300 11
SILVER STAR WATERWORKS DISTRICT 2015 Water System Assessment & Capital Plan Update October 2016
Appendix T contains indicative results of the water software modelling. The output shows pressure at network nodes in ‘metres head of water’ and pipe flows in ‘litres per second’. The hydraulic model base flows represent maximum day demand for the present service area. The key outcomes of the modelling are: • Pressures are adequate under Max Day Demand conditions • There are some areas that see inadequate pressures under fire flow conditions. The model data files are contained on the flash drive in Appendix W.
3.24 Recommended Improvements Based on the water system assessment the following improvements are recommended and form the basis for the Capital Plan: • Complete the water metering program and implement a metered water rate for all customers; • Develop an interconnection with the Laird Waterworks District; • Secure statutory rights-of-way for all watermains located on private property; and • Work towards looping of the distribution system mains and replacements with larger diameter (minimum 150 mm) mains to eliminate the dead ends along Highway 97 and to improve available flows in the northern areas of the system. 4. Capital Plan 4.1 Introduction The purpose of this section is to outline a 5-Year Capital Improvement Plan for the District. The Capital Plan includes the improvements identified in the water system assessment. A forecast Financial Plan is developed based on the capital projects and current operating costs. The Financial Plan compares operating costs and water rates under the ‘Improvement District’ and ‘Township Service Area’ models.
4.2 Improvement Objectives The Capital Plan addresses the following improvement objectives: • Universal metering and metered rates – to achieve equitable billing based on actual water use, to achieve reduced water consumption and to identify leaks and other unaccounted-for water losses; • Interconnections with adjacent utilities – to provide a backup source of water in case of emergencies such as source contamination or loss of source; • Secure tenure for watermains on private property – to ensure District right to access the mains for operation, repair or replacement; and • Distribution system upgrading – to improve network looping and fireflow capacity and to replace aged infrastructure.

4.3 Potential Service Area Growth & Development As the present service area is bounded by other Improvement Districts and Agricultural Land Reserve lands, there is very limited potential for service area expansion. There are several properties within the District boundaries that may be developed to a rural-residential density. It is generally felt that there will be no significant boundary expansion or infill development during the duration of this Capital Plan.
4.4 Capital Improvement Plan Appendix U contains the following documents that make up the proposed 5-Year Capital Plan for the District: • 5-Year Capital Plan Summary Table; and • ‘Class C’ Project Cost Estimates for the following projects. 2011 - 2015 Project 1 Water Metering Project Completion 2 Laird Interconnection & PRV Station 3 Highway 97A at Mountainview Road Watermain 4 Acquire Statutory Rights-of-Way
Beyond 2015 Project 5 Highway 97A Looping & Connection to Lansdowne Water District.
The rationale, source of funds, anticipated year of construction and construction cost are shown for each proposed project. The costs are summarized in the 5-Year Capital Plan Summary Table. The Table also indicates forecast activity in the reserve funds, as well as borrowing and debt payments. Based on the cost of the proposed capital projects versus water rates and available reserve funds the District will require borrowing to provide the full project funding.
4.5 Financial Forecast Plan Appendix V contains spreadsheets illustrating various financial forecasts for the District. Operating costs are forecast for the status quo ‘Improvement District’ situation, and for comparable operations under a ‘Township Service Area’ model. In general it is forecast that: • Operating costs and hence water rates will increase under both models due to increasing bulk water rates, water quality regulations, insurance costs and labour costs; • Operating costs under the Improvement District model will increase as more of the administrative and operational work is transferred to paid personnel;

• Due to diminishing number of participating Improvement Districts, the cost of insurance will increase at a disproportionate rate to other expenses under the Improvement District model, while insurance rates will remain low and stable under the Township; • There is no opportunity to access senior government grants for capital works as an Improvement District whereas they are accessible to a municipal service area; and • The cost to ratepayers for capital improvements would not change under the Township model unless Provincial grants are secured for the work, in which case the Township model offers significantly reduced costs for the ratepayers. In summary, it appears that reduced operational costs in the order of $9,000/year ($54/customer/year) would be achieved by the ‘Township Service Area’ model compared to the ‘Improvement District’ model. Assuming that the same capital improvements are undertaken under both models, there would be further reduced costs achieved under the ‘Township’ model should grants be obtained.
4.6 Cost Recovery Based on the 2014 budget, the following unit rates and interest earnings provided revenue for the District.
Table 3: District Revenue Sources Revenue Source Amount
Annual residential water tools $554 Other tolls • Farm 1.5 x residential toll • Second residence 2 x residential toll • Home based business 1.1 x residential toll Annual residential and commercial water tax $35 Interest income earned on reserves $3,871 Development cost charges $0 Connection fee $3,000
4.7 Reserves, Trust & Other Assets As at December 31, 2014 the District held the following reserves and assets:
• Operating Reserve $392,276 • Capital Reserve $46,428 • Residential Water Meters 161 units • Commercial Water Meters 0 units
4.8 Annual Operation Budget For 2014 the Annual Operational Budget was $99,987.

5. Closure 5.1 Conclusion The Silver Star Waterworks District is a well-managed, well-operated small water system serving approximately 150 rural residential customers.
A comparative financial forecast indicates lower operating costs in the immediate and long-term if the Improvement District is changed to a local service area under the Township. The level of service under the Township would be much the same as the current level of service.. Continuing under the Improvement District model, however, may result in the inability to recruit volunteer Trustees, and the continued deferral of needed capital improvements due to the cost to ratepayers.
