Project Fund	Priority	Project Description	Type of Project	Estimated Cost	Cap. Impr. Surcharge Bracket
Water	1	Water Quality - IEPA LT2 Standards Comp.	Preventative	$     15,000	Reserves
		These funds will cover the cost of purchasing automatic hydrant flushing devices. The new regulatory standards regulate disinfectant byproducts present in drinking water. A standard monitoring plan is due to the IEPA by October 2007; the schedule is to include increased montioring of DBP.  Current monitoring indicates that an increase in usage will be necessary to continue to meet standards.
Water	1	Pump Rehabilitation Program	Preventative	$     25,000	Reserves
		Reoccuring well meter and backwash pump rehabilitation. Independent recommendation from Peerless Sevice Co.5 year program. Maintaining the wells at the WTP reduces the vulnerabiltity of the facility until an additional remote well and tower can be added to the system.
Sanitary	2	Sanitary sewer lining on Garfield Street, High Avenue, West Town line, and other locations idenitifed by CCTV inspection tapes and cleaning programs.  Roots on Garfield and High lead to sanitary sewer back up issues.  The West Town Line is to secure the sewer from I/I and resume sanitary sewer billing.	Preventative	$   150,000	1
		Sanitary sewer lining on Garfield Street, High Avenue, West Town line, and other locations idenitifed by CCTV inspection tapes and cleaning programs.  Roots on Garfield and High lead to sanitary sewer back up issues.  The West Town Line is to secure the line to resume sanitary sewer metering. This was an item agreed upon at the February Commission meeting was of high importance.
Water	2	Water Main Extension	Major	$     75,000	2
		12inch main loop Armstrong to Rt 20 improve water quality, 8inch loop Meadows & Armstrong res. Complaint water quality, 8inch loop Adam & Arcade to improve flow to the Jail, and loop Laurel and Holly to tie City to Park Crest improve water quality.
Water	2	Test Well	Major	$     80,000	2
		Test well for a new source well . Well required to improve dependability of the water supply for existing and future growth. Vulnerability assessment of the WTP identified the necessity for additional water sources. In addition, further inspection and testing of the clearwell of the WTP cannot be completed until supply can be supplemented from another source due to the sampling procedures required to bring the clearwell back online.
Water	2	Well 8 Rehabilitation	Major	$     85,000	3
		Well 8 Radium investigation and packer testing.  Lining the well may be necessary pending the investigation. Currently Freeport is below the radium limits, however, radium is at detectable levels in the well and should be tested and lined if necessary.
Water	2	Well Rehabilitation	Preventative	$     25,000	3
		Emergency cost of the wells at the WTP. Refer to Peerless Service Report. 5 year program in tandem with the pump program. This is possibly a capital program that should be assessed an operational expense as the improvement may or may not be required within a fiscal year.
Water	2,3	Water Meters	Replacement	$     30,000	3
		Meter replacement program, scheduled replacement of 3000 meters over 3years. This has become an increased priority as insurance costs escalate.  The latest insurance claim was over $18K for damage due to a plastic meter. A replacement program for 1,200 per year would require $60K.
Sanitary	2,3	Water Meters	Replacement	$     30,000	4
		Meter replacement program, scheduled replacement of 3000 meters over 3years. This has become an increased priority as insurance costs escalate.  The latest insurance claim was over $18K for damage due to a plastic meter. A replacement program for 1,200 per year would require $60K.
Water	4	Valve Replacement Program	Preventative	$     20,000	4
		Replacement of 12 to 20 valves, these are valves that have been broken during operation. Work to be conducted as a program by Commission staff. This program could be funded through maintenance expenses, however, the number of valves would be dependent on the maintenance funds available.  By separation in CIP expenditures, the program guarantees funding specifically for valve replacement.  Due to an aging system this becomes more imminent with increased numbers of main breaks. Valves can be reused when older mains are replaced.
Water	4	Facility Upgrade	Preventative	$     30,000	4
		Emergency maintenance costs and building repairs, building brick and façade in need of repair, use new system design life approx. 50 years. Again, these are funds to cover emergency issues to ensure continued service to the residents.  This is possibly a capital program that should be assessed an operational expense as the improvement may or may not be required within the fiscal year.
Water	4	Water Storage Tank Inspection/ Cleaning	Preventative	$     25,000	4
		Carroll Tank and Burchard Tank exterior cleaning and inspection. This allows for defects in either of the storage units to be addressed in a timely manner thereby reducing the need for the storage units to be out of service.
Sanitary	4	WWTP Facility Upgrades	Preventative	$     30,000	4
		Membrane diffuser replacement, originally installed 2000 with 5yr des. Life; Methane gas detection system, Heating system upgrade.
Water	4	Heavy Equipment Purchase	Replacement	$        6,000	4
		Hydraulic pipe cutter for diameters 4 - 10 inch.
Water	4	Vehicle Replacement	Replacement	$     40,000	4
		Replace vehicle No. 25, the vehicle will at that time have out lasted its value for dependability complete with snow plow and salt spreader. The truck is from 1993. Corrective maintenance work orders for the year are 6 and a value of $2K, further costs are anticipated to ensure the vehicle passes the IDOT safety lane procedure.
		Total Estimated Value of Capital Improvments Approved by FWSC		$666,000.00
Of Which $40,000 of projects will be funded by Reserves the remaining to be funded by Surcharge is:				$626,000.00
