2 The New DWSD

3 DWSD vs GLWA Linear Assets DWSD Water Distribution System 2,700 Miles 6 to <24 Diameter Referred to as distribution or local system GLWA Water Transmission System 300 Miles Detroit ; 700 Miles in Region 24 and greater diameter Referred to as regional system

4 DWSD vs GLWA Linear Assets DWSD Sewer Collection System 3,000 Miles 12 to 10-feet > Diameter GLWA Sewer Collection System 185 Miles Interceptors and Large Sewers

5 Capital Improvement Program Management Organization

6 A True Partnership Between DWSD and CIPMO DWSD provides overall control of the program, budget and schedule, and approves all actions, while identifying priorities and key areas for fast track improvements. CIPMO CIPMO provides program and design services; planning; training for DWSD staff; execution of two pilot areas to test the program s priorities and elements, and outreach and workforce development. Improving Service Through Partnership and Collaboration

7 Like many other cities in the US, the City of Detroit has not been able to maintain their infrastructure. Industry standard for upgrade is 2%, City of Detroit is currently at < 0.5% Average infrastructure age = 95 years Woodward Avenue at Campus Martius Park in the early 1900s Charles Brady King (right) demonstrates his car in Detroit circa

8 The City of Detroit s water and sewer system: Approx. 6,000 miles of pipe First pipes installed circa 1827 Over the next 5 years, DWSD and CIPMO in partnership, will replace and rehabilitate the water and sewer systems at a rate of 2% per year (the current industry standard). As Detroit moves forward, rehabilitating our infrastructure is critical to our success! Maps of Detroit s water (left) and sewer (right) systems

9 The Board of Water Commissioners for the City of Detroit, Water and Sewerage Department approved Contract No. CS-1812, Capital Improvement Program Management Organization with AECOM Great Lakes, Inc. (Consultant), for a duration of five (5) years. Increasing annual capital investment from $25M to $75M Updating all standards and specifications Increasing coordination with other agencies to achieve lower total construction cost Increasing DWSD engineering/inspection staff Use of GIS for all project planning 9

10 The proposed contract will rehabilitate the City s water and sewer infrastructure for the 21 st centaury a major component of renewing and rehabilitating every one of Detroit s neighborhoods. Typical street sewer line before and after contract completion Typical major sewer trunk line before and after contract completion 10

11 The CIPMO s primary objectives will be to: Reduce lost water with dynamic hydraulic models Reduce flooding, sinkholes, and cave-ins Improve service through technology transfer from AECOM to DWSD Develop new standards, encourage innovation through pilot planning and use of new tools 11

12 As part of this contract, the CIPMO will: Establish the Pilot Program: Two areas (Cornerstone and Rosedale) to initiate the planning, public outreach, design standards, training, and establish the best practices for the rest of the Program. Cornerstone Village North Rosedale Park 12

13 Public Outreach program to be developed and be an integrated approach with Contractors: Public involvement and participation so everyone is informed example: North Rosedale Park, 1 of the 2 key pilot areas
