AECOM The Corporation of the City of London 2014 Wastewater Servicing Master Plan Update and Development Charge Background Study Executive Summary
2014-06-03 Sanitary Dc Exec Summary 1
Executive Summary
1. Introduction
AECOM was retained to undertake the Wastewater Servicing Development Charge (DC) Update 2014 for the City’s
Sanitary Sewerage Collection System, Pumping Station (PS) and Wastewater Treatment Plant (WTP) facilities to
support the Development Charge 2014 By-Law amendment. The City of London last completed a Sanitary
Sewerage Servicing Plan Update in 2008 to support the 2009 Development Charges Update. Given that
Development Charges are to be updated in 2014, the City of London initiated this sanitary and wastewater servicing
DC Update. The intent was to reconfirm and/or identify new growth-related works for the City’s sanitary sewerage
systems on a 5 year incremental basis over a 20 year period (2014 to 2033), to support Development Charges for
future residential, institutional, commercial and industrial development.
1.1 Update Objectives
The objectives of the project were as follows:
Update the 2008 City of London Sanitary Sewerage Servicing Plan to address 20 year growth, keeping in mind
ultimate +50 year requirements per the information provided by the City.
Confirm existing wastewater system operating conditions, related regulatory requirements and service level
needs, and reconfirm/identify any new growth related requirements.
Identify up-to-date costs (2014), for the trunk sewer upsizing, replacement or new works required, including
pumping station/forcemain and WTPs. Identify growth/non-growth components and allocate growth components
to residential, institutional, commercial and industrial land uses for Development Charge determination.
Address peer review comments from the previous DC background work; incorporate outputs from more recently
completed works and/or community plans; ensure consistency with the City’s Water, Stormwater Drainage/SWM
and Transportation DC Updates (2014), and support/assist in development of the City’s Growth Management
Implementation Strategy (GMIS); and remove redundancies where appropriate.
Reconfirm WTP requirements based on regulatory, optimization, industrial pre-treatment, and future capacity
needs to accommodate growth on a 5 year incremental basis over the 20 year growth period.
Consult with the City of London’s Environmental & Engineering Services Department, the Finance Department
and Development Industry personnel at key stages of the project to reduce potential cost and time implications,
and obtain agreement with the results of the work to develop the City’s GMIS.
This DC Update created works based on growth needs for the 20 year period used for DC application purposes and
will assist in developing the City’s GMIS. Redundancies were removed where applicable amongst various water,
sanitary and road related works. The intent was to ensure funding for future growth related works, or portions
thereof; confirm optimal and timely servicing for Southwest London (and the Southside sewershed); define any
applicable sewer oversizing requirements for sanitary sewerage servicing; and optimize industrial servicing potential
in the City.
1.2 Existing Sanitary System (2013)
The City of London’s sanitary sewerage system consists of over 1,230 km of sanitary sewers (284 km of trunk
sewers, 300 mm or greater in diameter), and 35 pumping stations with over 45 km of forcemain. These sewers,
pumping stations and forcemains collect and convey sewage to the City’s five major WTPs serving the Adelaide,
Greenway, Oxford, Pottersburg and Vauxhall sewersheds. One minor WTP facility (Southland) serves a small
portion of Lambeth. The total average sewage flow currently directed to the City’s WTP’s (2013) was 217 Million
AECOM The Corporation of the City of London 2014 Wastewater Servicing Master Plan Update and Development Charge Background Study Executive Summary
2014-06-03 Sanitary Dc Exec Summary 2
Litres/Day (MLD) of the 266 MLD total capacity. Figure EX 1 shows the sewersheds tributary to each of the City’s
WTPs along with the related trunk sewers and pumping stations.
For WTPs, current regulatory effluent and operational requirements are outlined in the latest Environmental
Compliance Approvals (ECA), formerly referred to as Certificate of Approvals (CofA), as defined by the Ministry of
Environment (MOE) for each of the City’s WTPs. The City records the volume of a plant or pumping station bypass
as part of the conditions in the ECA.
The City currently disposes of sludge via incineration. The ash residuals are treated in a new geotube facility
located at the Greenway WTP. Facility upgrades involving incineration optimization/expansion and other operational
improvements may be required over the growth period. There are also additional future treatment requirements
based on industry trends and forthcoming legislation which were considered as part of this study. At this point in
time, tertiary treatment costs have not been included as part of future works given our understanding of shorter term
regulatory requirements; however, the next DC update in 5 years may need to include additional costs to meet any
new federal and/or provincial regulatory requirements.
2. Future Growth
The City of London developed future population growth information for the period from 2014 through 2033 in 5-year
increments (2014, 2019, 2024, 2029, 2034). These growth projections, which were verified by Altus, were provided
by the City to AECOM in March 2013. This information, plus later updates, formed the basis for the planning work
completed for all services. This included reducing industrial areas to an amount consistent with the City’s Industrial
Development Strategy and the Altus forecast to 2033, as was done previously, and confirming those portions of the
City to be serviced over the 20 year planning period as part of GMIS development. This information was used to
define the works required for each population projection and area, and related oversizing (if applicable), for each
service being assessed. Figure EX 2 illustrates the projected pollution and industrial/commercial/institutional (ICI)
area breakdown for the growth period.
Prior to forecasting the sewage flows, AECOM reviewed several years of water usage data across several sectors to
confirm the City of London sewage generation design parameters. While the ICI sewage generation rates
adequately reflected the design parameters, residential water consumption was lower than the current design
standards. As such, AECOM recommends that the residential water consumption design parameter be reduced
from 270 Litres/capita/day (L/c/d) to 255 L/c/d. This reduction in per capita water use translates to a reduction in per
capita sewage flow from 250 L/c/d to 230 L/c/d. These values were utilized in the sewage flow forecasts.
Sewage flows were forecasted from the population and ICI information in the Altus report using the current City of
London design criteria and a residential per capita sewage flow of 230 L/c/d. Sizing of the necessary works was
completed using these flows.
2.1 Works Determination
Hydraulic modeling was used to identify existing sewerage system constraints for future growth accommodation, and
to identify upsizing requirements. The modeling approach involved trunk sanitary sewers 300 mm in diameter or
greater for trunk sewer design and Development Charge determination purposes. Aggregating sewer lengths of
similar size and slope reduced the number of maintenance hole (MH) nodes. Sufficient nodes were left in place to
assess drainage areas less than 30 hectares in size for local servicing purposes.
The model was used to determine future sewage flows from which future trunk sewer, pumping station and
forcemain works were identified (Figure EX 3). Notwithstanding the 2033 capacity requirements and/or constraints
identified, further sewage flow contributions for the Urban Growth Boundary and for Build Out to 675,000 people
were confirmed to ensure the trunk sewer works identified could be extended into the future growth areas, and that

2014-06-03 Sanitary Dc Exec Summary 3
pumping stations and forcemains were large enough to handle the future flows. The required capacity in the sewers
was confirmed by determining sewage flows for each existing sewershed or subsewershed area in the entire City as
well as utilizing the growth information provided from 2014 through 2033 related to residential and ICI growth.
Sewer segments and maintenance hole nodes were then added based on past planning, or the latest community
plan information (e.g. sewer sizes, routes, profiles, etc.), to ensure that these works could accommodate the growth
anticipated within each sewershed and subsewershed area. Trunk sewers were extended on a straight-line basis
where planning details were unknown, with elevations taken from Ontario Base Mapping topographical information
for subsewershed areas down to 30 hectares in size. This servicing assumption resulted in the further subdivision of
subsewershed areas within the model.
Based on the model results and City input, trunk sewers and pumping stations/forcemains were added or upsized to
service future growth and/or new growth areas. The sanitary sewer system analysis was completed for each
sewershed as follows:
Hydraulic modeling and analysis confirmed Build Out (675,000 people) sewage flows and required works to
satisfy the design constraints input to the model;
Analysis was completed for the sewage flows determined to service the Urban Growth Boundary areas. The
required works were identified to satisfy the design constraints for those trunk sewer and/or forcemain
components needed to extend beyond these boundaries for Build Out purposes. Pipe sizing for the Build Out
condition was used with lengths reduced to service only the UGB.
Modeling of the sewers needed to service areas down to 30 hectares within the GMIS was completed to
identify all of the sewer system related works needed to fully service the GMIS.
The final modeling analysis utilized the projected growth information to reduce trunk sewer lengths to service
growth within those areas for DC purposes.
The works needed in 5 year increments were then interpolated from the various modeling outputs. With this
information, the works needed through 2033 and for Build Out purposes were identified on a phased basis
and shown on mapping.
Where growth could not be accommodated by existing trunk sewers or pumping stations/forcemains, alternate
solutions via storage, upsizing, alternate conveyance, etc., means were considered using modeling software for
non-surcharge conditions.
2.2 Required Trunk Sewer Works
Table EX 1 and Table EX 2 outlines the major trunk sewer works required to service the population and ICI growth
through 2033 within the City’s Urban Growth Boundary. Details are shown in Figure EX 3. The table shows:
The location (WTP sewershed area, growth area, trunk sewer ID), and applicable details for each trunk sewer
component (average depth, diameter and length);
Estimated cost information (pipe, construction and restoration cost for a subtotal, plus 15% for engineering and
20% for contingency, minus previous funding for a total cost):
Non-Growth/Growth related components;
Related Res/ICI growth components; and

Sewer unit costs are based on an updated 2014 cost table (Table EX 3). The cost table is based on pipe size and
depth, with the total cost of purchasing and installing sewer pipe being broken down into three components: pipe
cost, construction cost and restoration cost. Updated pipe costs are based on the 2014 Concast circular concrete

pipe price list. Updated construction costs were based on tender costs as provided by the City over the past 5 years
and indexed to 2014. Updated tunneling costs were based on 2009 indexed to 2014. Restoration costs were
updated as per tender costs for rural and urban restoration and indexed to 2014. Redundancies with other
transportation, storm drainage or water works were removed where applicable. Once the per meter cost was
established, engineering at 15% and contingency at 20% were added to the unit rate costs.
2.3 Pumping Station/Forcemain Works
In addition to the trunk sewer works, a number of pumping station/forcemain works are required to service future
growth through 2033 within the GMIS and Urban Growth Boundaries, and for Build Out to a population of 675,000
people. Table EX 4 outlines the existing pumping station upgrades or new pumping stations shown in Figure EX 3.
Within the study period, current and future sewage flows within the Southside WTP sewershed are to be conveyed
via the Wonderland PS and forcemain to the Greenway WTP. The objective is to optimize capacity within existing
forcemains, pumping stations and WTP’s prior to investing significant capital costs in a new Southside WTP which
will be required beyond the 20 year period.
2.4 Required Wastewater Treatment Plant Works
WTP expansions and new implementations will be needed to handle future sewage flows, plus future more stringent
effluent requirements. Given the size of the WTP facilities involved and the fact that sewage flows are conveyed to
these facilities under varying conditions, expansion needs were driven by the following:
Average daily existing and future sewage flow (i.e. not peaked);
Allowing for an I&I allowance of 8,640 L/ha/day per the standard design parameter;
Optimizing expansion needs to the 2033 sewage flow requirements with minimal oversizing;
Balancing sewage flows, wherever possible, among the WTP’s to maximize the utilization of available
sewage treatment capacity and minimize the need for added expansions until absolutely necessary.
Table EX 4 summarizes the expansion needs for each of the City’s WTP facilities. It shows the following information
for each:
Rated capacity;
Operational ceiling (5% reduction as per previous DC outputs);
Current (2013) running average sewage flows;
Available capacity (operational ceiling minus current flows);
Expansion requirements to (2033 sewage flows minus the 5% operational ceiling);
Total available capacity (available capacity plus expansion requirement); and
Estimated net cost information as per report details.
An update of the City’s Biosolids Master Plan has also been allowed for and included as part of the studies/other
component ($400,000). Non-growth components were removed as appropriate.
Costs were updated to 2013 including engineering at 15% and contingency at 20%. Other items shown on Table
EX 4 are prorated costs, growth/non-growth and Res/ICI allocations for Development Charge purposes. The
Southside WTP is not required until just beyond the planning period.
2.5 Intensification
As part of the 2013 Transportation Master Plan (TMP), the City of London reviewed the manner in which it grows
and the planning policies to support growth. Changes were made to the Official Plan (OP) Growth policies. The OP

now seeks to support 40% intensification within the existing built up areas of the City. From a sanitary servicing
prospective, two programs will be created to support this growth.
2.5.1 Growth Needs Sewers on Arterial Roads
There are several areas of the City that do not have fronting municipal sanitary sewers and are serviced by private
septic systems (e.g. Lambeth, Hyde Park, Fanshawe/Highbury, etc.). Many of these properties are fronting arterial
roads which are scheduled for widening as part of the TMP in the next 20 years. Recognizing that the properties
abutting the arterial road are likely to redevelop and intensify, the most cost effective time to reconstruct municipal
sanitary servicing for growth is during the time of the road widening. The construction of these sewers will be
coordinated with the timing of the arterial road projects, thereby eliminating the restoration costs and optimizing the
development potential of the area. These sewers are noted on Figure EX3 as lightning bolt symbols.
Should a developer wish to proceed with a sewer extension in advance of the arterial road project, the developer
shall be responsible for all design and construction costs associated with the sanitary sewer pipe and road
restoration.
Historically, only a minor proportion of the existing homes and small businesses that are currently serviced by private
septic systems will connect to the municipal sewer system if it is available since their current needs are met by
private systems. Therefore, the growth share for sewers on arterial roads are allocated a 90% cost as they are
intended to provide servicing for intensification/redevelopment projects which will contribute to DCs.
2.5.2 Nodal Development
The City of London has identified several nodes for significant intensification activity during the 2013 TMP. These
nodes may transform to densely populated areas. To date, one node has been studied in depth as to its build out
needs. The South Street and Wellington Street Storm/ Sanitary and Water Servicing Strategy Report (AECOM,
June 2013) lists servicing needs for the former London Health Science Centre South Street Campus and the
surrounding catchment areas, encompassing approximately 132 ha of land. It is expected that the hospital re-
development will be a catalyst for growth within the surrounding area.
This information is currently the best available for servicing a node in the built up area of the City of London. The
City’s growth allocation predicts 3798 residential units over the 20 year period within intensification nodes city-wide.
The current estimate for residential units within the South Street Area Lands is 1459 units. Using the South Street
lands as a basis for nodal development city wide a value of 2.6 times (3798 divided by1459) has been used to
determine the costs related to servicing nodal development city-wide over the 20 year period.
3. Development Charge Implications
The impetus for completing the Wastewater Servicing DC Update was the need to identify those works required to
satisfy future sanitary sewage flow contributions driven by growth over a 20 year period from 2014 through 2033
consistent with the GMIS Boundary. These works were also sized to address future requirements based on the
Urban Growth Boundary and/or Build Out information developed previously. Growth/Non-Growth determination and
Res/ICI allocations are shown in Table EX 2 and Table EX 4. From this, the following was completed to identify
Development Charge requirements:
For sewers, projected sewage flow information for Build Out and UGB was used for sizing. The lengths of pipe
required were determined utilizing the 2033 growth information for DC related works within the GMIS service
AECOM The Corporation of the City of London 2014 Wastewater Servicing Master Plan Update and Development Charge Background Study Executive Summary

area. For DC purposes, the needs were matched with the growth projection forecasts in 5 year increments. All
works are within the GMIS Boundary as shown by Figure EX 3. For DC calculation purposes only those trunk
sewers greater than 250mm in diameter, were included for calculation purposes (See Table EX 1). Smaller
service areas, less than 250mm in diameter were considered local to be provided by development proponents.
For pumping stations and WTP’s, projected sewage flow information was used to determine future work
requirements. This was then compared to the rated capacities to be provided based on engineering needs and
prorated to 2033, with costs reduced accordingly. Therefore oversizing was not applied leaving the City to
finance the required works initially, with interest recovery during the 2014 through 2033 planning period, and
debt being carried beyond. This approach was applied for all facility related components.
Growth/Non-Growth splits for sanitary were determined as follows:
o Growth forecasts (Res/ICI), across the City’s transportation planning zones
o The transportation zones were sub-divided by sewershed and sub-sewershed areas and tied to existing or
new trunk sewer maintenance nodes in the sanitary sewer model.
o For new works added as part of this DC update, existing flows were determined based on 2013 flow
information within the GMIS Boundary, and then Non-Growth/Growth and Res/ICI splits were determined
based on the growth information provided as contained within those sewershed/sub-sewershed areas
linked to a particular project within the GMIS Boundary. The percentage was determined based on
applying design criteria for residential and ICI sewage flows.
o For pumping station and WTP works, the sewage flows to be met through 2033 as determined by the
growth information within the GMIS Boundary by a given facility were allocated to residential and ICI
demands in each service area.
For Development Charge calculations, growth related costs for the City’s sanitary trunk sewer, pumping station
and forcemain, WTP expansion and new facility, and other (Biosolids, etc.), components are all part of the City’s
sanitary sewerage system and can all be recovered under the DC Act. Implementation of the GMIS resulted in a
more affordable plan as a basis for Development Charge determination purposes.
Table EX 5 summarizes the total costs, non-growth costs, and 2033 growth costs, complete with Res/ICI allocations
for the City’s sanitary sewerage system. This information will form the basis for Development Charge calculations.

1. Introduction
AECOM was retained to undertake the 2014 Wastewater Servicing Master Plan Update and Development Charge
Background Study (DC) for the City of London Sanitary Sewerage Collection System, Pumping Station (PS) and
Wastewater Treatment Plant (WTP) facilities to support the DC 2014 By-Law Amendment. The City of London last
completed a Sanitary Sewerage Servicing Plan Update in 2008 to support the 2009 DC Update. The intent is to
reconfirm and/or identify new growth-related works for the City’s sanitary sewerage systems on a 5 year incremental
basis over a 20 year period (2014 through 2033), to support DC for future residential, institutional, commercial and
industrial development.
1.1 Update Objectives
The objectives of the project were as follows:
Update the City of London Sanitary Sewerage Servicing Plan Update 2008 to address 20 year growth per the
information provided by the City with consideration of the ultimate requirements over 50 years.
Confirm existing wastewater system operating conditions, related regulatory requirements and service level
needs and reconfirm/identify any new growth related requirements.
Identify up-to-date costs (2014), for the trunk sewer upsizing, replacement of new works required, including
pumping station/forcemain and WTPs. Identify any benefit to existing (growth/non-growth) components and
allocate growth components to residential, institutional, commercial and industrial land uses for DC
determination.
Address peer review comments from the previous DC background work; incorporate outputs from more recently
completed works, environmental assessments, and/or community plans; ensure consistency with the City’s
Water and Transportation DC Updates (2014), and support/assist in development of the City’s Growth
Management Implementation Strategy (GMIS); and remove redundancies in restoration costs where
appropriate.
Reconfirm WTP requirements based on regulatory, optimization, industrial pre-treatment, and future capacity
needs to accommodate growth on a 5 year incremental basis over the 20 year growth period.
Consultation with the City of London’s Environmental & Engineering Services Department, the Finance
Department and DC personnel at key stages of the project to reduce potential cost and time implications, and
obtain agreement with the results of the work to develop the City’s GMIS.
This DC Update determined works based on growth needs for the 20 year period used for DC application purposes
and will assist in developing the City’s Growth Management Implementation Strategy (GMIS). Redundancies for
road restoration costs were removed where applicable among various water, sanitary, storm and road related works.
The intent was to ensure funding for future growth related works, or portions thereof; confirm optimal and timely
servicing for Southwest London (and the Southside sewershed); and optimize industrial servicing potential in the
City.
1.2 Existing Sanitary System (2013)
The City of London’s sanitary sewerage system consists of over 1,230 km of sanitary sewers (284 km of trunk
sewers, 300 mm or greater in diameter), and 35 pumping stations with over 45 km of forcemain. These sewers,
pumping stations and forcemains collect and convey sewage to the City’s five major WTPs serving the Adelaide,
Greenway, Oxford, Pottersburg and Vauxhall sewersheds. One minor WTP facility (Southland) serves a small
portion of Lambeth. The total average sewage flow directed to the City’s WTPs (2013) was 217 million litres per day
(MLD) of the 266 MLD total capacity. Figure 1-1 shows the sewersheds tributary to each of the City’s WTP’s along
with the related trunk sewers and pumping stations.

Cross Connections and Storm Relief Sewers 1.2.1
The City’s sanitary sewer system has approximately 257 overflows and cross-connections between sanitary and
combined or sanitary and storm sewers throughout the City. Approximately 60 are related to the City’s trunk sewer
network located primarily in the Greenway (core area and north), and Vauxhall sewershed areas. Generally
speaking, a number of sanitary sewer overflow connections and interconnections between separate trunk sewers
and storm sewers exist in the core area. Significant basement flooding has prompted numerous mitigation activities
in several older parts of the City.
Between the mid-1950s and mid 1960s numerous storm and relief sewers (SRS) were constructed throughout the
existing City. The main purpose for these SRS was to relieve adjacent sanitary sewer systems that were found to be
surcharging, and reduce or eliminate basement flooding in the tributary areas. Since then, numerous storm
connections have also been made to these systems. The City is currently confirming overflow volume and
frequency through flow monitoring and benthic sampling analysis through the undertaking of the Pollution Prevention
and Control Plan.
Pumping Stations and Forcemains 1.2.2
The City’s sanitary sewerage collection system includes 35 sanitary pumping stations which transmit sewage flows
via forcemains into the City’s sanitary sewer system. Most pumping stations have single forcemains for discharge
with backup power or storage for alternative conveyance under emergency or maintenance conditions.
The pumping stations are generally in good mechanical and electrical condition, due to general upkeep and
continuous maintenance and parts replacement by the City. No stations require significant upgrading at this time
due to condition as identified by City personnel.
Table 1-1 provides a listing of all the active sanitary pumping stations in the City along with their locations and
capacities.

Wastewater Treatment Plants (WTPs) 1.2.3
The City currently has five major wastewater treatment plants and one small Southland facility. All of the plants are
conventional activated sludge secondary treatment plants with seasonal ultraviolet disinfection, except for the Oxford
WTP (membrane facility) and the small Southland facility which includes tertiary treatment. Biosolids from each of
the satellite plants is hauled to the Greenway WTP for dewatering and incineration. The following table lists the
wastewater treatment plants, rated capacity and operational capacity.

A detailed description of each of the wastewater treatment plants is as follows:
Adelaide WTP 1.2.4
The Adelaide WTP is located in the north central portion of the City. Plant effluent is discharged to the north branch
of the Thames River. The Adelaide WTP is an activated sludge plant with a current rated capacity of 36.4 MLD. It
also serves a defined area in the Hamlet of Arva by agreement with the Township of Middlesex Centre that currently
has a reserved maximum capacity of 175 m3/day.
The Adelaide WTP consists of two sections, No.1 rated for 6.8 MLD and No.2 rated for 29.6 MLD. The old plant
No.1 is not normally in service. All flow is treated in Section No. 2. Figure 1-2 provides a site layout of the plant.
Sewage flows received by Adelaide WTP are primarily residential in nature, which reach the plant via gravity sewers
from the north and east. The flows are lifted by the pump station that allows the total plant flow to pass through
treatment without additional pumping. Plant effluent must meet compliance limits for BOD5, suspended solids,
phosphorus, E.coli and ammonia. The Adelaide WTP meets these compliance limits and operates in an economical
manner.
Sludge consisting of co-settled primary and waste activated sludge (WAS) is stored in WAS holding tanks, blended
sludge is thickened and stored in thickened WAS holding tanks underground. The sludge is trucked to the
Greenway WTP for dewatering and incineration. Odour control consists of covered primary clarifiers as well as
packed bed chemical scrubbers for the sewage pumping station, a sludge truck loading station, inlet building, waste
activated sludge (WAS) thickening building, WAS holding tanks and thickened waste activated sludge
(TWAS)holding tanks.
Greenway WTP 1.2.5
The Greenway WTP is the City of London’s largest wastewater treatment facility, with a rated capacity of 152.3 MLD.
The WTP is located in the west central portion of the City and was originally constructed more than 60 years ago.

The WTP is a conventional activated sludge plant that consists of three individual treatment trains downstream of the
headworks, referred to as Section 1, Section 2 and Section 3. Figure 1-3 provides a site layout of the plant.
The sewage flows received by Greenway WTP are a combination of residential and industrial wastewater. Flows
reach the plant via a number of sewer systems, and a forcemain from the Berkshire Pumping Station. Three gravity
sewers enter the plant with one sewer at a low level requiring lift pumping. The Greenway WTP generally produces
effluent complying with the requirements of its current Ministry of Environment (MOE) Environmental Compliance
Approval (ECA). The plant is required to meet compliance limits for BOD5, suspended solids, phosphorus,
ammonia, E. coli and dissolved oxygen.
Sludge produced at all the other treatment facilities in the City is handled at the Greenway WTP. Sludge is mixed,
retained in holding tanks and dewatered using centrifuge presses. The imported sludge is thickened at the sending
WTP facilities before being trucked to Greenway. After incineration ash from the incinerator is captured in geotubes
located at the southwest corner of the site.
Oxford WTP 1.2.6
The Oxford WTP is located in the west end of the City. Plant effluent is discharged to the main branch of the
Thames River. The Oxford WTP is a membrane plant with a current rated capacity of 17.3 MLD. Figure 1-4
provides a site layout of the plant.
Sewage flows received by the Oxford WTP are primarily residential wastewater which reach the plant via gravity
sewers, and a forcemain from the Byron Pumping Station. Thickened sludge is hauled to the Greenway WTP for
dewatering and incineration. The plant produces an extremely high quality effluent.
Pottersburg WTP 1.2.7
The Pottersburg WTP is located in the southeast area of the City. Plant effluent is discharged to the south branch of
the Thames River, just downstream of its confluence with Pottersburg Creek. The Pottersburg WTP is an activated
sludge plant with a current rated capacity of 39.1 MLD. Figure 1-5 provides a site layout of the plant.
The Pottersburg WTP consists of three treatment trains, downstream of the common headworks. The sewage flows
received at the Pottersburg WTP are a combination of residential and industrial wastewater. Flows reach the plant
via a gravity sewer system and a forcemain from the East Park Pumping Station. Sewage flows travel through
treatment without additional pumping. The Pottersburg WTP generally produces acceptable effluent and operates in
an economic manner. Plant effluent must meet compliance limits for BOD5, suspended solids, phosphorus,
ammonia, E. coli and dissolved oxygen.
Biosolids consisting of primary sludge and thickened waste activated sludge are stored in holding tanks. The
biosolids are trucked to the Greenway WTP for dewatering and incineration.
Vauxhall WTP 1.2.8
The Vauxhall WTP is located in the east central area of the City. Plant effluent is discharged to the south branch of
the Thames River. The Vauxhall WTP is an activated sludge plant with a current rated capacity of 20.9 MLD.
Figure 1-6 provides a site layout of the plant.
The Vauxhall WTP services an older area of the City of London with significant industrial contributions. The plant
consists of two treatment trains. Sludge handling improvements were included as part of past works to improve
facility operations and reduce the volume of sludge being hauled to the Greenway WTP.

Sewage flows received at the Vauxhall WTP are a combination of residential, commercial and industrial waste.
Flows reach the plant via a gravity sewer system and an onsite pumping station (Chelsea Heights).
The Vauxhall WTP generally produces acceptable effluent and operates in an economical manner. Plant effluent
must meet compliance limits for BOD5, suspended solids, phosphorus, ammonia, E. coli and dissolved oxygen.
Biosolids consisting of primary sludge and thickened waste activated sludge are stored in holding tanks. The
biosolids are trucked to the Greenway WTP for dewatering and incineration. The waste activated sludge from the
activated sludge process is thickened by gravity belt thickeners. Odour control includes a packed bed chemical
scrubber for the sludge thickening building and the truck loading station.
Southland WTP 1.2.9
The Southland WTP has a rated capacity of 0.4 MLD; however, the operational capacity is limited to 0.27 MLD to
satisfy applicable effluent criteria. It currently serves approximately 180 residential units, one commercial enterprise,
and one retirement home. No further expansions of this facility are being considered. It is scheduled to be
decommissioned and replaced by a pumping station, forcemain and trunk sewer, subject to finalizing the Schedule B
Environmental Assessment which is currently in the review period.
1.3 Level of Service
AECOM reviewed the current design standards and resulting level of service for the City of London. The level of
service has been consistent with previous DC studies, applicable MOE guidelines / requirements as well as other
applicable legislation and regulations.
Sewer Design Criteria 1.3.1
The various design and/or planning criteria is shown as follows:
Trunk Sewer Design: The trunk sewer design standards shown in Table 1-3 below are based on the City of
London’s previously developed standard, past London Sanitary Sewerage Servicing Studies (LSSSS) and MOE
Guidelines.

2014-06-03 Sanitary Dc Report 7
Residential – 230 L/capita/day: MOE criteria ranges from 225 to 450 liters per capita per day. Past City of
London criteria has averaged from 250 to 340 L/capita/day. Significant work has been done to study water
usage in the City of London. In general, water usage is decreasing as people are becoming more efficient
with their water usage (i.e. installation of low flush toilets, ceasing washing cars, reducing lawn watering,
etc.). To recognize this, AECOM reviewed several years of water usage data across several sectors and
have developed a current trend that justifies the reduction in the residential water consumption design
parameter from 270 Litres/capita/day to 255 L/ capita/day. The reduction in per capita water use translates
to a reduction in per capita sewage flow from 250 L/ capita/day to 230 L/ capita/day. This trend may reverse
in the future and as such, future DC updates should review all water usage and sewage flows across all
sectors for shifts in trending.
Commercial – 6,600 L/ha/day: MOE criteria is applied by floor area of the building. The 2009 City of
London criteria was ranged from 6,600 L/ha/day. The commercial land use servicing planning criteria was
chosen based on average winter day water consumption information for commercial and industrial land uses
(accounting for water losses), compiled as part of the City of London’s water billing database for the period,
consistent with the ICI criteria used previously. Average winter day water consumption was used because it
is assumed that most commercial flows will be returned to the City’s sewerage system. This figure also
reflects impacts of the new plumbing code and water conservation applied in existing businesses.
Institutional – 13,600 L/ha/day: MOE criteria is applied by bed or student. Past City of London criteria has
ranged from 13,275 to 35,000 L/ha/day. The institutional land use servicing planning criteria was chosen
based on average winter day water consumption information for all institutional uses (accounting for water
losses), compiled as part of the City of London’s water billing database for the period and is consistent with
the ICI criteria used previously. Average winter day water consumption was used because it is assumed
that most institutional flows will be returned to the City’s sewerage system. This figure also reflects impacts
of the new plumbing code and water conservation applied in existing institutions.
Industrial – 15,000 L/ha/d: MOE guidelines states that industrial flows “vary greatly with the extent of area
development, the types of industries present, the provision of in-plant effluent treatment and recycle/re-use
or rate of flow controls, the presence of cooling waters in the discharge and other factors.” Past City of
London criteria has ranged from 15,000 to 50,000 L/ha/day. The industrial land use servicing planning
criteria was chosen based on average winter day water consumption information for all industrial uses
(accounting for water losses), compiled as part of the City of London’s water billing database and is
consistent with the ICI criteria used previously. Average winter day water consumption was used because it
is assumed that most industrial flows will be returned to the City’s sewerage system. This figure also reflects
impacts of the new plumbing code and water conservation in existing industries.
The City initially identified an industrial add-in for existing industry expansion in the core of the City of 2
MLD.
Inflow and Infiltration – 8,640 L/ha/day: Inflow and Infiltration (I&I) represents sewer flows in excess of
water usage flows under dry and/or wet weather conditions. Infiltration includes groundwater and surface
water entry through leaking joints and/or other structural defects on a continuous (base), or rainfall induced
basis. Inflow also occurs as a result of roof leader, basement and/or foundation connections, and/or other
illegal or faulty connections. Based on the many inflow and infiltration studies completed in the City, it is
apparent that I&I varies across the City of London. An analysis of WTP wet weather flows, City of London
rainfall information, MOE F-5-5 criteria and other available flow, record, monitoring or surcharge information
was completed to establish the average I&I values that should be used for conveyance and treatment
systems for future growth servicing purposes. A range of values were identified for I&I in each WTP
sewershed area (4,300 to 44,000 L/ha/day). While older sewer infrastructure typically has higher I&I,
current monitoring is indicating that I&I flows may be higher than 8,640 litres/ha/day in new growth areas.
This is still be being reviewed and the City is continually trying to work cooperatively with the development
and home building industries to keep I&I rates low. Notwithstanding this, should I&I in growth areas
AECOM The Corporation of the City of London 2014 Wastewater Servicing Master Plan Update and Development Charge Background Study
2014-06-03 Sanitary Dc Report 8
continue to increase, the City would need to further implement works to handle the I&I (ie. increased pipe
sizes, storage facilities, etc.)
Based on all of the aforementioned assessments, the MOE design standard of 8,640 L/ha/day for new
collection systems, pumping stations/forcemains and for WTP design, which is at the low end of the
acceptable range, is appropriate for project purposes.
Peaking Factor: The capacity provided by sanitary sewers and pumping stations must allow for peak rates of
sewage flows. The standard “Harmon’s Formula” was used to determine peak flow rates for trunk sewer and
pumping station design. Once a pump station is in operation, peaking factors may be adjusted in accordance with
actual monitored flows at the pump stations. This is particularly relevant in larger drainage areas with mixed land
uses. In areas with industrial land use contributions, the standard value of 80% of the Harmon peaking factor is
used. This value is more reasonable in industrial areas where flow fluctuations are less severe.
Sewage Capacity Sizing Criteria:
230 L/cap/day for Residential Land Areas (255 L/cap/day in 2009 DC update);
6,600 L/ha/day for Commercial Land Areas (6,600 L/ha/day in 2009 DC update);
13,600 L/ha/day for Institutional Land Areas (13,600 L/ha/day in 2009 DC update);
15,000 L/ha/day for Industrial Land Areas (15,000 L/ha/day in 2009 DC update);
8,640 L/ha/day I&I for growth related trunk sewers/pumping stations (8,640 L/ha/day in 2009 DC update); and
Standard City/MOE design criteria for all remaining items.
We further recommend the 230 L/cap/day be used as the City’s design standard rather than 250 L/cap/day.
The ICI criteria should remain per current City standards and be assessed on a case-by-case basis. The ICI figures
recommended for planning purposes are an average across the City only for net area application. Therefore, there
will be a number of instances where actual flows will be lower and/or higher, particularly for heavy water users,
hence the addition of an industrial add-in to address as discussed later in this report.
Current / Future Regulatory Requirements 1.3.2
Current regulatory effluent and operational requirements are outlined in the latest Environmental Compliance
Approvals for each of the City’s WTPs and pumping stations. The recording of plant or pumping station bypasses,
their duration and severity are also MOE requirements.
Table 1-4 provides the present and anticipated effluent criteria for the wastewater treatment plants. This criteria
forms the basis for treatment requirements when upgrading / expanding WTPs.

1.4 Relevant Non-Growth Studies Completed or Being Undertaken
Pollution Prevention and Control Plan 1.4.1
A Pollution Prevention and Control Plan will provide the City, Ministry of the Environment (MOE), Upper Thames River Conservation Authority (UTRCA) and community with a long term plan for managing conveyance system sewer overflows and bypasses in London. The project will include investigations, development of sewer system models, mitigation strategies, and documentation to identify the problem areas and opportunities for reducing the discharge of untreated sewage into the Thames River. The plan will guide future investments to reduce overflow impacts. Phase I of the Pollution Prevention and Control Plan included initiation of the project and master plan, background review of data and documentation, review of benthic studies and water quality data, inventory of sewer overflows, bypasses, and discharge points, determination of flow monitoring requirements and a preliminary ranking of sewer overflow and bypass discharge points. Five technical memos were prepared along with a Phase I summary report. Phase II will continue the master plan process: characterization of the Thames River, including benthic and water quality sampling and testing at strategically located sites; hydrologic and hydraulic modelling of the different sewer sheds to determine sewer overflow frequencies and volumes; and, the development of a long and short list of sewer overflow and bypass control measures. This phase will take two and a half years to complete. This schedule is required to allow sufficient time to complete twelve hydraulic sewer modelling and flow monitoring assignments.
AECOM The Corporation of the City of London 2014 Wastewater Servicing Master Plan Update and Development Charge Background Study
2014-06-03 Sanitary Dc Report 10
Individual hydraulic sewer modelling assignments will be awarded to multiple consultants through a separate two stage procurement process in 2014. A separate report will be brought forward to Council to award these modelling assignments. A future Phase III of this project will include refinement of the prioritization of the sewer overflow and bypass discharge points, alternative selection criteria and evaluation of preferred sewer overflow and bypass control measures.
The PPCP Study is being managed by a Technical Steering Committee which includes membership from the City,
MOE, UTRCA, and the consultant team. Regular meetings provide direction for the development of all phases of the
project.
Wastewater Treatment Plant Optimization 1.4.2
This report will develop for Council a recommended approach to reducing long term capital costs for wastewater
treatment plant expansions and effectively plan to meet more stringent effluent criteria. The goal is to find latent
capacity at existing facilities and coordinate expansions with life cycle replacements over the next twenty years,
giving consideration to the location of future expansions and technological upgrades. The future challenges of more
stringent effluent criteria, Combined Sewer Overflow treatment and evaluating possible impacts of climate change
will also be recognized. Operational savings are possible through reduced energy consumption coupled with
increased efficiency and recovery in both growth and lifecycle project designs, and by deferring capital expansions.
The plan will embrace new technologies, and involve technical staff with outside expertise within a phased process
that recognizes successful pilot projects that are in progress and envisions the benefits of automation and innovation
into the future. This approach will leverage the work of London’s International Water Centre of Excellence, the City’s
academic and business partners, and adding the implementation of new technologies to the City’s leadership in
research role.
A preliminary capacity/optimization study for Adelaide, Oxford, Pottersburg and Vauxhall plants was undertaken in
2013. This study reviewed possible optimization of the existing processes. The next step will focus on the wet
weather flows at these plants and the potential average daily flow capacity available by reducing the peaking factors.
Potential Bottlenecks Analysis (from Previous DC Study) 1.4.3
During the last 2009 DC update, the InfoSewer model was run based on calibration to 2003 flow information (and/or
earlier where needed and applicable), under 2003 day conditions, and tributary population/ICI information under dry
weather conditions. The intent was to identify if any constraints or bottlenecks to service growth into the future
existed within the key trunk sewers and pumping stations/forcemains in the model. The results indicated that no
constraints or bottlenecks exist for current dry weather conditions. Adding the standard I/I allowance of 8,640
L/ha/day, as per the design criteria outlined, showed some sewer segments over capacity. When allowing for I&I by
sewershed with I&I values 2.5 to 5 times the design standard (19,000-44,000 L/ha.day), constraints were identified
within the following trunk sewers and/or pumping stations/forcemains.
Numerous pipe segments within the core and immediate north and south areas of the City tributary to the Greenway WTP surcharge.
Portions of the sewer on Western Road could experience problems during a large rain event if all flows currently directed to the Medway pumping station are directed to the Greenway WTP. Portions of the sewer on Windermere Road could experience problems during a large rain event if all flows currently directed to

Medway pumping station are directed to the Adelaide WTP. Conveyance problems can be averted by splitting the flows at Medway pumping station between the Greenway WTP and the Adelaide WTP.
Portions of the Westminster trunk sewers in South London surcharge. Minimal growth is expected in these areas and the City implemented storage/attenuation measures to mitigate I&I in this area.
Portions of the Egerton trunk sewer are surcharging. The City completed Phases 3 and Phase 4 of the Burbrook Trunk Sewer. Once Phases 1/2 and 3/4 are connected this should mitigate the impacts created by minor growth in the Vauxhall sewershed area.
One segment of the Cheapside St. sewer was found to be over capacity under existing conditions. This segment is a 400 mm sewer downstream of a 600 mm sewer. This sewer will only cause minimal backwater effects under high flows but should be replaced upon development of the upstream area.
Generally speaking, the City’s trunk sanitary sewers (450 mm in diameter or greater), and the key pumping
stations/forcemains related thereto, have sufficient capacity to accommodate future growth presuming the
standard I/I allowance is applied. This however is not a conservative value. If the maximum daily average I&I
allowance, by sewershed is to be allowed for, growth relative to the trunk sewers and/or pumping
stations/forcemains identified above, would have to be curtailed until mitigated via upsizing, diversion, storage or re-
routing (i.e. eliminating I&I at the source by disconnecting weeping tiles).
2. Future Growth
The City of London developed future population growth information for the period from 2014 through 2033 in 5-year
increments (2014, 2019, 2024, 2029, 2034). These growth projections, which were verified by Altus, were provided
by the City to AECOM in March 2013. This information, plus later updates, formed the basis for the planning work
completed for all services. This included reducing industrial areas to an amount consistent with the City’s Industrial
Development Strategy and the Altus forecast through 2033, as was done previously, and confirming those portions
of the City to be serviced over the 20 year planning period as part of GMIS development. This information was used
to define the works required for each population projection and area, and related oversizing (if applicable), for each
service being assessed.
Table 2-1 shows the sewage flow forecasts developed from the population and ICI information provided by the City,
using the design criteria summarized at the bottom of the table. The table shows calculated sewage flows due to
growth by sewershed, by facility, and in total from 2014 through 2033. In addition, an industrial demand add-in
equivalent to 2 MLD over the 20 year growth period, primarily in the core area of the City, was added as provided by
the City. Allowances were also made for future flows from septage/leachate and biosolids management sources.
Growth requirements were determined based on the City’s population/ICI projections, and the service area
information confirmed via the City’s GMIS development process, for the City’s Urban Growth Boundary (UGB).
2.1 Works Determination
Hydraulic modeling software, InfoSewer, was used to identify existing sewerage system constraints for future growth
accommodation, and to identify upsizing/alternate solutions. The modeling approach involved trunk sanitary sewers
300 mm in diameter or greater for trunk sewer design and DC determination purposes. Aggregating sewer lengths
of similar size and slope reduced the number of maintenance hole nodes. Sufficient nodes were left in place to
assess drainage areas less than 30 hectares in size for local servicing purposes.
Sewer segments, maintenance hole nodes and profiles were added to the model based on past planning, or the
latest environmental assessment or community plan information (e.g. sewer sizes, routes, profiles, etc.) to ensure

that these works could accommodate the growth anticipated within each sewershed and subsewershed area. Trunk
sewers were extended on a straight-line basis where planning details were unknown, with elevations taken from
Ontario Base Mapping topographical information for subsewershed areas down to 30 hectares in size. This
servicing assumption resulted in the further subdivision of subsewershed areas within the model using InfoSewer’s
Automated Spatial Demand Allocation (ASDA) program.
Based on the model results, trunk sewers and pumping stations/forcemains were added or upsized to service future
growth areas. The sanitary sewer system analysis was completed for each sewershed as follows:
Modeling and analysis was reconfirmed to address sewage flows and the required works to service Build Out
(675,000 population);
Modeling and analysis was then completed for the sewage flows determined to service the Industrial reduced
and UGB areas. The required works were identified to satisfy the design constraints for those trunk sewer
and/or forcemain components needed to extend beyond these boundaries for Build Out purposes. Pipe
sizing for the Build Out condition was used with lengths reduced to service only the GMIS area;
Modeling of the sewers needed to service areas down to 30 hectares within the UGB was then completed to
identify all of the sewer system related works needed to fully service the lands within the UGB.
The final modeling analysis utilized the projected 2014 and 2033 growth information to reduce trunk sewer
lengths to service growth within those areas identified within the UGB Boundary for DC purposes.
Where growth could not be accommodated by existing trunk sewers or pumping stations/forcemains, alternate
solutions via storage, upsizing, alternate conveyance, etc., means were considered for non-surcharge conditions.
3. Future Work
Based on the modeling analysis outlined in Section 2, the following trunk sewer, pumping station/forcemain and
WTP related works were identified to improve existing systems and/or future growth servicing purposes through
2033. Section 3 discusses the determination of growth/non-growth and residential / industrial / commercial /
institutional (Res/ICI) splits as well as pipe oversizing and intensification.
3.1 Trunk Sewer Related Works
The trunk sewer related works required to service the population and ICI information provided by the City through
2033 within the City’s UGB were determined based on the sewage flows calculated, and modeling outputs. This
utilized the design I&I allowance of 8,640 L/ha/day.
Tables 3-1 and 3-2 identify future trunk sewer requirements to service the UGB through 2033 and shows the
following:
The location (WTP sewershed area tributary to, growth area, trunk sewer ID), and applicable details (average depth, diameter and length), for each trunk sewer component;
Estimated cost information (pipe, construction and restoration cost for a subtotal, plus 35% for engineering and contingencies, minus previous funding for a total cost):

AECOM The Corporation of the City of London 2014 Wastewater Servicing Master Plan Update and Development Charge Background Study
2014-06-03 Sanitary Dc Report 13
Related Res/ICI growth components; and
Implementation year.
Figure 3-1 shows the works identified in Tables 3-1 and 3-2. Alphanumeric identification codes have been
assigned to each of the required trunk sewers shown in Figure 3-1 for correlation to Tables 3-1 and 3-2.
Sewer unit costs are based on an updated 2014 cost table; Table 3-3. The cost table is based on pipe size and
depth, with the total cost of purchasing and installing sewer pipe being broken down into three components: pipe
cost, construction cost and restoration cost. Updated pipe costs are based on the 2014 Concast circular concrete
pipe price list. Updated construction costs were based on recent tender costs as provided by the City over the past
5 years and indexed to 2014. Updated tunneling costs were based on 2009 costs indexed to 2014. Restoration costs
were updated tender costs for rural and urban restoration and indexed to 2014. Redundancies with other
transportation, storm drainage, or water works were removed where applicable. To these costs, engineering at 15%,
contingency at 20% were added.
For each sewer that was sized to convey flows from future developments not identified for the 20 year growth period,
a post period benefit was provided.
Existing Trunk Sewer Upgrades 3.1.1
No existing trunk sewer upgrades or replacement works have been identified in Tables 3-1 and 3-2 or Figure 3-1.
This is based on the premise that I&I is maintained throughout the City’s sanitary sewerage system to the design
standard of 8,640 L/ha/day as outlined in Section 2.1. In the event actual I&I is utilized to determine available trunk
sewer capacity for future growth accommodation purposes, this would need to be re-evaluated and it is anticipated
some existing trunk sewers would need to be replaced.
Southwest Area Sanitary Servicing (SASS) 3.1.2
It is expected that over the next 20 years significant growth will occur in the southwest area of the City of London.
The majority of the residential development in the Southwest Area Plan (SWAP) area will be concentrated in the
Wharncliffe Road –Wonderland Road - Southdale Road area and along the Colonel Talbot Road corridor. The
Southwest Area Sanitary Servicing Study (SASS) (Stantec, 2014) was adopted by City Council in February 2014.
The recommendations from the SASS study have been included in the DC update including the alignments of trunk
sanitary sewers and the decommissioning of the Southland WTP to be replaced as a pump station. Essentially,
major trunk sewers will be routed in a manner that ends at the Wonderland Pump Station following existing road
alignments.
A benefit to existing (BTE) is envisioned with the decommissioning of Southland WTP and conversion to a pump
station. Existing flows from the existing subdivision will be directed northerly into pipe SS3A and SS14A.
The trunk sewer part of the SASS will have low BTE as much of the proposed tributary area has not yet been
developed. A post period benefit was considered for most of the trunk system as it was designed to take flows
outside the UGB.
Some of the flows from the North Talbot and North Lambeth neighbourhoods will be directed to the proposed
Colonel Talbot PS. Flows from the Colonel Talbot PS will be pumped to Oxford WTP or conveyed via gravity sewer
to the Wonderland PS. The specific location and details regarding the Colonel Talbot PS will be determined by a
future EA study.

2014-06-03 Sanitary Dc Report 15
3.3 Required Wastewater Treatment Plant (WTP) Works
WTP expansions and improvements will be needed to handle future sewage flows, plus future more stringent
effluent requirements. Given the size of the WTP facilities involved and the fact that sewage flows are conveyed to
these facilities under varying conditions, expansion needs were driven by the following:
Average existing and future sewage flows (i.e. not peaked);
An I&I allowance of 8,640 L/ha/day per the standard design parameter;
Expansion needs being closely matched to the 2033 sewage flow requirements with minimal oversizing;
Sewage flows being balanced, wherever possible, among the WTP’s to maximize the utilization of available
sewage treatment capacity and minimize the need for added expansions unless absolutely necessary.
Table 2-1 summarizes the expansion needs for each of the City’s WTP facilities. It shows the following information
for each:
Rated capacity;
Operational ceiling (5% less than rated capacity per previous DC outputs);
Current (2013) average sewage flows;
Available capacity (operational ceiling minus current flows);
Expansion requirements through 2033 (minus the 5% operational ceiling); and
Total available capacity (available capacity plus expansion requirement).
Based on Table 2-1, planned expansions based on preliminary design and/or environmental assessment outputs
include:
Greenway WTP (18 MLD) expansion based on conveyance/storage attenuation outputs for interim servicing of the southwest portion of the City currently underway.
Adelaide WTP (8.6 MLD) expansion, forecasted in 2025.
Vauxhaull WTP (2.2 MLD) expansion, forecasted in 2023.
No expansions relative to the Pottersburg WTP or Oxford WTP are contemplated in the near future given both were
recently expanded. The Southside WTP is not required until beyond the planning period.
An update of the City’s Biosolids Master Plan has also been allowed for and included as part of the studies/other
component ($400,000).
Costs were updated to 2014 including engineering at 15% and contingency at 20%. Other items shown on Table 3-
4 are prorated costs, growth/non-growth and Residential/ICI allocations for DC purposes.
Adelaide Wastewater Treatment plant 3.3.1
Based on Table 3-4, an 8.6 MLD upgrade at this site is required to begin in 2025 and be completed in 2028. A Class
EA Schedule ‘C’ will be required for this upgrade and has been incorporated into the construction cost. Future
Growth benefits any capacity that will be accrued after the DC period is credited back through a post period benefit
(PPB).
The calculation of the PPB is below:
AECOM The Corporation of the City of London 2014 Wastewater Servicing Master Plan Update and Development Charge Background Study
2014-06-03 Sanitary Dc Report 16
This resulted in a post period benefit of 90.5%, allowing 9.5% of the expansion to be claimed in this period.
Greenway Wastewater Treatment Plant 3.3.2
Growth in the City’s southwest quadrant has been made possible through the introduction of the Wonderland Pump
Station along with several improvements to remove bottlenecks along the Gordon Ave trunk sanitary sewer. Infill and
intensification growth throughout the City directs growth flows to Greenway WTP. Table 2-1 shows the need to start
an expansion in 2014. This work is currently in preliminary design and will be completed in 2017.
Table 2-1 also shows that the Greenway WTP has an operating capacity 11 MLD lower than the typical 95% of the
rated capacity. This 11 MLD deficit accounts for the insufficient secondary clarification in Section 3 as the clarifiers
are undersized. With the Greenway WTP expansion, additional secondary clarification capacity will be added to
address this issue.
Current preliminary design for the upgrade at the site is planned to produce an 18 MLD expansion. Specifically,
Section 3 will be expanded from approximately 93 MLD to 100 MLD, Section 2 will be optimized and re-rated from
approximately 34 MLD to 40 MLD and Section 1 will be re-rated from approximately 25 MLD to 30 MLD. Figure 3-3
provides a site plan overview of the expansion upgrade.
This plant upgrade requires the moving of several on-line processes and will introduce wet weather pre-treatment to
overflows. Table 3-5 provides a list of the required works as well as the previous funding, post period benefit, non-
growth / growth allocations and the Res / ICI allocations.
To determine the post period benefit (PPB) for the Greenway WTP expansion the headworks was considered part of
the incoming sewer so it was calculated separately than the other works. This post period benefit (PPB)
acknowledges any capacity that will be accrued after the DC period and was credited back to the DC per the
following calculation:
This resulted in a post period benefit of 48.6% for the Greenway WTP’s headworks and 15.5% for all other upgrades
associated with the Greenway WTP expansion. This results in an overall PPB of 26%.

2014-06-03 Sanitary Dc Report 17
Vauxhall Wastewater Treatment Plant 3.3.3
The current 2013 operating average sewage flow is 18.6 MLD. Growth is slowly expected to increase flows in the
service area with a 2.2 MLD upgrade required to be started in 2023 and completed in 2026. A Class EA Schedule
‘C’ will be required for this upgrade and has been incorporated into the construction cost. Future Growth benefits
any capacity that will be accrued after the DC period is credited back through a PPB.
This resulted in a post period benefit of 94.3%, allowing 5.7% of the expansion to be claimed in this period.
Southland Wastewater Treatment Plant 3.3.4
As mentioned in Section 3.2.1, this facility will be decommissioned after 2015 with the completion of trunk sewers
connecting to the Wonderland PS. The Southside WTP will be replaced by a pumping station and forcemain to
service a portion of the Lambeth area (non-growth).
Oxford Wastewater Treatment Plant 3.3.5
No growth related upgrades are required in the DC planning period.
Pottersburg Wastewater Treatment Plant 3.3.6
No growth related upgrades are required in the DC planning period.
3.4 Future Works for Build Out
Pottersburg Sewershed 3.4.1
For Build-out servicing, the Airport South trunk sewers would be extended further to the south (PBS5B, 375 mm
dia.), with added trunk sewer extensions to the east from the Hamilton Road/Commissioners Road intersection
(PBS3A, 450 to 525 mm dia.). Extension of the existing trunk sewer along the north side of the south branch of the
Thames River, and north along Airport Road and then Crumlin Road will also be required for Build out servicing
purposes extending right up to London Airport and then around its east side. The first extension would allow the
Gore Road and Trafalgar Pumping Stations to be decommissioned (PBN1A, 750 to 825 mm dia. and PBN2, 450 and
525 mm dia.). This would service industrial areas north of the south branch of the Thames River up to about
Dundas Street, with connections to the west (PBN1B, 375 mm dia.) From here, the trunk sewer would continue to
be extended towards London Airport (PBN3, 375 to 525 mm dia.), to service areas north of Dundas Street, and
south and east of the Airport in the future.

2014-06-03 Sanitary Dc Report 18
To the south, further extensions from the Summerside area to the south and east are required for Build out area
servicing (PBS6, 600 mm dia.). This is to service primarily residential area, with some commercial/industrial area
south towards Hwy 401.
A temporary pumping station and forcemain, and related trunk sewers (PBS7, 300 mm dia.) to service the remaining
industrial area north of the 401, south of Commissioners Road between the Summerside and Airport Road South
areas is shown on Figure 3-2. The pumping station and forcemain would temporarily outlet to the Summerside
trunk sewer and be serviced by the Pottersburg WTP. In the future, the pumping station could be removed and be
serviced by the future Southside WTP. This would facilitate development along the north side of the 401 in
southeast London.
Southside Sewershed 3.4.2
3.4.2.1 Wastewater Treatment Plant
Given the efficiencies gained in having these areas serviced via existing and/or future pumping stations/forcemains
and trunk sewers in the interim for treatment at the Greenway WTP, and later transferred to new trunk sewers,
pumping stations and/or forcemains serviced by the Southside WTP, a preferred alternative has been identified by
the Southwest Area Sanitary Servicing Master Plan (Stantec, 2014).
The Southside WTP will be triggered when it is no longer financially viable to convey flows northerly from the
southwest via pump station and trunk sewer improvements. Based on this reasoning, Southside WTP is not
anticipated to be required from a treatment perspective within the DC study period.
3.4.2.2 Build Out Sewers and Pumping Stations
For future Build-out purposes, south of the proposed Wonderland PS, trunk sewer installations south of Dingman
Creek will have to be implemented to service the Hwy 402/401 corridor areas within the Build Out area (SS18, 1050-
1500 mm. dia. and SS24, 450 mm dia). Trunk sewer SS18 would be extended in the future to service the W12A
landfill and the proposed hauled liquid waste facility planned for the site. The same sewer would also receive all
sewage flows from the future Kettle Creek Pumping Station and sewershed area. In the long term, well beyond the
Build out area, servicing arrangements for the Kettle, Dodd and Sharon sewershed areas, shown by Figure 3-2 will
be implemented.
Oxford Sewershed 3.4.3
For Build-out purposes the Hyde Park trunk sewer along the CN Rail spur line will be extended to the north to
service northwest London (HP6, 525 mm dia.). Trunk sewer HP8 (450 mm dia.) would be connected to this trunk
sewer to service the area west of Hyde Park between Sarnia and Gainsborough Roads.
To the west, trunk sewers RB2/RB1 will continue to be installed south and west of the Riverbend Sanitary Pumping
Station to service the RiverBend area. In the long term, trunk sewer RB3 will be installed to service west London,
north of Dingman Creek.
3.5 Growth/Non-Growth Determination
The proportion of Growth/Non-Growth components and Residential and ICI were generally determined as follows:
AECOM The Corporation of the City of London 2014 Wastewater Servicing Master Plan Update and Development Charge Background Study
2014-06-03 Sanitary Dc Report 19
Res/ICI percentages based on sewage flows at nodes were identified by land use type at each maintenance hole and/or sewer node via sewer models;
Subsewershed polygons representing the area from which sewage flow contributions are to be accommodated by the proposed works were identified by maintenance hole node;
Sewage flows for each of the above areas and land use types were aggregated, and the proportion of Growth/Non-Growth and Res/ICI growth was calculated for the UGB;
To determine Growth/Non-Growth components for any given work, the following procedures were followed:
For new pipe works driven by growth needs, non-growth components were primarily 0% (unless existing areas were to be serviced, then the percentage would reflect this), and growth components were 100%. This was applied for DC related sewer works through 2033.
For facility related components, expansion requirements were driven by engineering reports of a pre-design nature where available (i.e. Greenway WTP, Adelaide WTP and Vauxhaul WTP). Growth/Non-Growth allocations were then determined by confirming flows to each facility, and future flow requirements through 2033. The servicing of existing areas represented the non-growth component only, with the remaining future sewage flows representing the growth component.
Growth oversizing for trunk sewer works were addressed by calculating the post period benefit the installed capacity to be provided to the future flow capacity to be serviced through 2033.
Growth oversizing for facilities were addressed by pro-rating the installed capacity to be provided to the future flow requirement through 2033.
3.6 Residential/Institutional/Commercial/Industrial (Res/ICI) Allocations
Residential/Institutional/Commercial/Industrial allocations for growth components were identified as follows.
For the trunk sewer works needed to serve various portions of the City, sewer reach IDs and their service areas were aggregated. The related sewage flows determined for Res/ICI land uses in each area for the UGB were used for allocation purposes.
For facility related works, the sewage flows forecasted through 2033 within the UGB by a given facility, segregated by residential and ICI demands in each service area from modeled outputs were identified.
3.7 Sewer Oversizing Subsidy
Oversizing was considered but the majority of DC related trunk sewer works aligned with sewage flow needs to 2033
(i.e. a pipe size differential would only exist if flow substantially increased within the UGB and/or Build-Out needs).
Table 3-6 provides an Oversizing Cost schedule for a 250mm dia. pipe. The schedule assumes a 250mm dia. pipe,
buried at a depth of 5m, is being upsized.

3.8 CRSF Trunk Sewers vs. Oversizing
In the past, the City of London has worked with development partners to design, build and finance a variety of
sanitary infrastructure projects. The recent discussions (2010) at the OMB about the pressure experienced by the
UWRF and potentially long payout periods resulted in a rationalization of future Sanitary infrastructure design, build
and finance.
CRSF trunk sewers are strategic sewers which serve large areas, cross significant roads, parks, or abut natural
areas can be best managed by the City and are funded in whole by CSRF with appropriate adjustments for Benefit
to Existing and Post Period Benefit. These sewers do not include private drain connections (PDCs) for individual
residential properties. These strategic projects are tracked in the GMIS and City budgeting process. Proponent
developers interested in developing business plans may refer to these public processes.
Other sewers that are built with a localized focus within site plans and subdivisions, but are oversized to serve
adjacent or future development needs are best timed, managed, designed and built through the proponent developer
at a time that maximizes usage of the infrastructure and decreases cost. The oversizing component of these works
will be eligible for reimbursement as per the relevant rules as directed in the DC bylaw tables. These sewers
generally include PDCs.
3.9 Intensification
As part of the 2030 Transportation Master Plan (TMP), the City of London reviewed the manner in which it grows
and the planning policies which support growth. Changes are being considered to the Official Plan growth policies
through the ReThink process. The new policies establish targets to support 40% infill and intensification within the
existing built up areas of the City. From a sanitary servicing perspective, two programs will be created to support
infill and intensification. The growth / non-growth splits will be determined based on the final servicing solution.
AECOM The Corporation of the City of London 2014 Wastewater Servicing Master Plan Update and Development Charge Background Study
2014-06-03 Sanitary Dc Report 21
Growth Need Sewers 3.9.1
There are several areas of the City that do not have fronting municipal sanitary sewers and are serviced by private
septic systems (e.g. Lambeth, Hyde Park, Fanshawe/Highbury, etc.). Many of these properties are fronting arterial
roads which are scheduled for widening as part of the TMP in the next 20 years. Recognizing that the properties
abutting the arterial road are likely to redevelop and intensify, the most cost effective time to reconstruct municipal
sanitary servicing for growth is during the time of the road widening. Therefore, the construction of these sewers will
be coordinated with the timing of the arterial road projects, thereby eliminating the restoration costs and optimizing
the development potential of the area. These sewers are noted on Figure 3-1 as lightning bolt symbols.
The sanitary sewers identified in Table 3-8 are scheduled in coordination with the arterial road projects identified in the “Roads” section of the Development Charges Background Study and subsequently approved in the City’s Capital Budget. These sanitary sewers will only proceed subject to the successful design and tendering of the arterial road project. Should a developer wish to proceed with a sewer extension in advance of the arterial road project, the developer shall be responsible for all design and construction costs associated with the sanitary sewer pipe and road restoration.
Historically, only a minor proportion of the existing homes and small businesses that are currently serviced by private
septic systems will connect to the municipal sewer system if it is available since their current needs are met by
private systems. Therefore, the growth share for sewers on arterial roads has been allocated at 90% as they are
intended to provide servicing for intensification/redevelopment projects which will contribute to DCs.
Nodal Development 3.9.2
The City of London has identified several nodes for significant intensification activity during the 2013 TMP. These
nodes may transform to densely populated areas. These nodes are shown in Figure 3-4.
To date, one node has been studied in depth as to its build out needs. The South Street and Wellington Street
Storm/ Sanitary and Water Servicing Strategy Report (AECOM, June 2013) lists servicing needs for the former
London Health Science Centre South Street Campus between Southdale Road and Horton Road and the
surrounding catchment areas, encompassing approximately 132 ha of land. It is expected that the hospital re-
development will be a catalyst for growth within the surrounding area. The estimated preliminary costs of servicing
the site are shown in Table 3-7.
The information collected on this node is currently the best available for servicing of a node in the built up area of the
City of London. The City’s growth allocation predicts 3798 residential units over the 20 year period within
intensification nodes city-wide. The current estimate for residential units within the South Street Area Lands is 1459
units. Using the South Street lands as a basis for nodal development city wide a value of 2.6 times (3798 divided by
1459) has been used to determine the costs related to servicing nodal development city-wide over the 20 year
period. The growth/non-growth/local cost allocations for the South Street lands has been presented in Table 3-7.
Benefit to Existing (Non-Growth Allocations) for Intensification 3.9.3
Theoretically, pre-existing development at nodal locations is expected to redevelop in a more dense built form,
requiring larger services than those that exist today. In many cases, the existing infrastructure that is adequate for
existing conditions will be inadequate for the new higher density.

A benefit to existing (BTE) or non-growth share has been calculated using the pipe cost of the replacement required
discounted for any residual life. This approach assumes a life expectancy of 80 years for buried infrastructure.
( )
Intensification Local Service Cost 3.9.4
An approximated value of 10% has been used as the local share of the intensification infrastructure. The actual local
cost will be determined at the time of the initiating development and would be calculated on a flow proportional basis.
4. Consultation Process
Similar to the 2008 DC study process, the 2014 DC study process was based on a comprehensive and cooperative
approach between the municipal staff which represented the City of London and the London Development Institute
(LDI) which represented the London development community. Starting in early 2012, several meetings have taken
place to discuss policies and issues related growth within the City of London. In particular with the wastewater
servicing component of the DC, the Technical Committee met on several occasions to discuss many items
presented in this report. This content included but is not limited to:
Population forecasts
Sewage flow forecast
Proposed sanitary sewers to be installed
Proposed sanitary pumping station and wastewater treatment plant facility upgrades
Estimated construction costs
Oversizing policies
Intensification
Minutes from these meetings are included in within a separate document.
5. Development Charge Implications
The impetus for completing the Wastewater Servicing Master Plan Update and DC Background Study was to identify
works required to satisfy future sanitary sewage flow contributions driven by growth over a 20 year period from 2014
through 2033 consistent with the GMIS Boundary. These works were also sized to address future requirements
based on the UGB and/or Build Out information. Growth/Non-growth determination and Res/ICI allocations are
shown in Tables 3-2 and 3-4. From this, the following was completed to identify DC requirements:
For sewers, projected sewage flow information for Build Out and UGB was used for sizing. The lengths of pipe
required were determined utilizing the 2033 growth information for DC related works within the GMIS service
area. For DC purposes, the needs were matched with the growth projection forecasts in 5 year increments. All
sewer works are within the UGB as shown by Figure 3-1. For DC calculation purposes, only those trunk sewers
250 mm in diameter or greater, were included for calculation purposes. Smaller service areas, less than 250
mm in diameter were considered local to be provided by development proponents. Although oversizing may be
applicable, pipe size differential would represent the only added cost since installation and restoration would be
the same regardless of size. A credit calculation has been developed by the City for application on an
installation basis to compensate developers for Post Period benefits.

For pumping stations and WTP’s, projected sewage flow information through 2033 was used to determine future
work requirements. This was then compared to the rated capacities to be provided based on engineering needs
and a post period benefit calculated appropriately.
Growth/Non-Growth splits for sanitary were determined as follows:
o Allocated growth forecast (Res/ICI), across the City’s transportation planning zones (i.e. Transportation
Zone Model).
o Subdivided the transportation zones by sewershed and subsewershed areas and tied to existing or new
trunk sewer maintenance hole nodes in the sanitary sewer model.
o For works identified in the previous DC (2008 Master Plan), existing sewage flows were based on 2013
model outputs on a node by node basis and aggregated by project description to determine the Non-
Growth component. The remaining Growth/Non-Growth and Res/ICI splits were determined based on
the growth information provided as contained within those sewershed/subsewershed areas linked to a
particular project within the GMIS Boundary. The percentage was determined based on applying design
criteria for Residential/ICI sewage flows.
o For new works added as part of this DC update, existing flows were determined based on 2013 flow
information within the GMIS Boundary, and then Non-Growth/Growth and Residential/ICI splits were
determined as above based on the growth information provided by Altus.
o For pumping station and WTP works, the sewage flows to be met through 2033 as determined by the
growth information within the UGB by a given facility were segregated by Res/ICI demands in each
service area.
For DC calculations, growth related costs for the City’s sanitary trunk sewer, pumping station, forcemain,
WTP expansions, and other new facilities (e.g. biosolid management, etc.), components are all part of the
City’s sanitary sewerage system and can all be recovered under the DC Act. Implementation of the GMIS
resulted in a more affordable plan as a basis for DC determination purposes.
Land acquisition costs, where applicable, have been included within the projects to allow for the purchase of
land for sanitary projects that the City cannot obtain through the planning act.
The information presented in this report, including the total costs; non-growth costs; and 2033 growth costs,
complete with Residential/ICI allocations for the City’s sanitary sewerage system will form the basis for DC
calculations.
6. Conclusions and Recommendations
The following conclusions have been reached and recommendations made as a result of the work completed for the
2014 Wastewater Servicing Master Plan Update and Development Charge Background Study.
6.1 Conclusions
The conclusions reached as a result of our work are as follows:
A number of sanitary sewage system related works have been completed over the last 5-year period since
the previous Sanitary Sewerage Servicing Plan Update 2008 was completed for the City of London.
Service levels and design criteria have been maintained as per the Sanitary Sewerage Servicing Plan Update
2008. Amendments were made for more recent regulatory requirements (Nutrient Act, Sustainable Water
and Sewer Systems Act, Public Sector Accounting Board, etc.), and incorporating the City’s 20-year
AECOM The Corporation of the City of London 2014 Wastewater Servicing Master Plan Update and Development Charge Background Study
2014-06-03 Sanitary Dc Report 24
Wastewater Plan to account for future growth costs. The cost of upgrading existing systems to meet these
requirements were removed as appropriate.
For work determination purposes, sanitary sewer greater than 250 mm (10” in diameter), were included
consistent with past Development Charges and Design Policy (service areas greater than 30 ha).
Average day sewage flows remain consistent or just below 2008 levels. This resulted in opportunities to
further delay wastewater treatment plant expansion needs into the future.
All future works are based on the population projections provided by the City of London from 2014 through
2033. This included residential and commercial/industrial/institutional growth information.
In addition to growth requirements, an industrial add-in equivalent to 2.0 MLD was included as per the
previous Sanitary Sewerage Servicing Plan Update (4.5 MLD/1 MIGD previously).
Servicing needs in 5 year increments from 2014 through 2033 were determined, along with full Build-out of
the City’s Urban Growth Boundary. Any further definition was provided as a result of the City’s GMIS outputs
where applicable.
Based on tender costs to 2012 and indexing, all costs are in 2014 dollars.
All works for the next 20 year period take into account future Build-out requirements with post period benefits
identified. Facilities were phased to the extent possible or prorated to minimize this.
Inflow & Infiltration allowances consistent with the Sanitary Sewer Servicing Plan Update 2008 were used
(i.e., dry weather flow plus an I&I allowance as per City design standard of 8640 L/ha/day), as the basis for
confirming available capacity to accommodate future growth. The City of London continues to address I&I
reduction via investigation, study and/or mitigation measure implementation.
Minor pump station upgrades are required at only a few of the City’s facilities which already allow for this.
Future wastewater treatment plant works were prorated consistent with the previous DC Update to meet 20
year growth needs and limit capacity additions.
The works identified are to service the GMIS boundary as established by the City of London. Growth/Non-
Growth and Res/ICI splits are based on model outputs for sewer and/or pumping station components based
on existing (2008) percentages for works carried over from the previous Sanitary Sewerage Servicing Plan
Update 2008. For new works new percentages were identified based on 2014 sewage flows for existing
conditions, and Growth/Non-Growth and Res/ICI determination.
All required works were co-ordinated with Water Servicing, Transportation and Stormwater
Management/Servicing, and are consistent with the City’s Growth Management Implementation Strategy
(GMIS). Redundancies were removed where applicable.
Consultation with the City of London’s Environmental and Engineering Services Department, Finance
Department, Development Industry and the London Development Institute was undertaken through project
completion.
6.2 Recommendations
The following recommendations are made as a result of the work completed for the 2014 Wastewater Servicing
Master Plan Update and Development Charge Background Study.

CITY OF LONDON 2014 LOCAL SERVICE POLICIES
GENERAL
G-1. Claimability Any item listed as claimable, subsidizable, or eligible for funding from a development charge reserve fund must also be provided for in the approved DC rates. To the extent that specific cost sharable works and projects cannot be identified as to location or timing, there should be a contingency provided for in the estimates that is incorporated into the rates.
It is important that the City continue to monitor between DC Background Studies, the accuracy of the estimates and assumptions used to establish the rates. To the extent that substantial variations are identified, Council should be advised and will need to consider whether to increase or decrease the rates in accordance with the monitoring observations.
G-2. DC Fund reimbursements for Exempted Development The City currently exempts Industrial development, and certain specified forms of Institutional development from the payment of development charges. These exemptions support economic development and not-for-profit development initiatives.
With respect to any non-statutory exemptions the City approves in its DC policy, the City will pay for these exemptions through non-DC supported contributions to the respective DC reserve funds. This meets the legislative requirement that exemptions or reductions to charges otherwise payable not be recovered from other, non-exempt forms of development (DCA s.5(6)3.)
G-3. Non-Growth Works that Benefit the Existing Population Where minor works funded in part from the CSRF are subject to this policy and also include a non-growth component in the DC Background Study, funding of that portion of the works must wait until the City has approved sufficient funds in its Council approved capital budgets, or Council makes provision for a Reserve Fund designated for use in funding the non-growth share of DC funded works, to pay for that non-growth portion of the works. The non-growth portion of the funding shall be identified in the City’s Capital Works Budget and approved by Council.
G-4. Use of Contingencies Works listed as eligible in the Development Charges Background Study, or with the approval of the City Engineer, in consultation with the Director, Development Finance, drawn from a contingency and/or an alternative to a work listed in the Background Study may be funded from the CSRF. The claimability of such a work would be subject to inclusion in the development agreement (for works less than $50,000 subject to approved funding in the Capital Budget) or subject to execution of a Municipal Servicing and Financing agreement prior to commencement of the work. The works funded from the CSRF under this paragraph would be subject to rules similar to those described for minor CSRF eligible works contained in this section with respect to eligibility, tender and claim completeness and submission. G-5. Exceptions The Development Charge By-law allows for exceptions to projects listed in the DC Background Study for works listed as eligible in the Development Charges Background Study, or with the approval of the City Engineer, in consultation with the Director, Development Finance, drawn from a contingency and/or substituted for a work listed in the Background Study may be claimable.

WASTEWATER
SS-1. Regional Trunk Sewers (CSRF- Sanitary Sewerage) All sewers required to service future development with a diameter greater than 450mm are considered to satisfy a regional benefit to growth and are to be identified as separate projects in the DC Background Study and are eligible for a claim from the CSRF- Sanitary Sewerage. All sewers of any diameter required to service future development and that are identified as a strategic need by the City Engineer are considered to satisfy a regional benefit to growth and are to be identified as separate projects in the DC Background Study and are eligible for a claim from the CSRF- Sanitary Sewerage. In order to be eligible for a claim as a Regional Trunk Sewer, the sewer must have no Private Drain Connections to individual residential units otherwise the “Sewer Oversizing” policy applies. SS-2. Sewer Oversizing (CSRF - Minor Sanitary Sewers) Sanitary Sewers, which are not Regional Trunk Sewers, with all of the following attributes are eligible for a subsidy from the CSRF - Minor Sanitary Sewers:
• The sewer services external developable areas, and • The sewer is greater than 250mm in diameter.
The oversized portion (>250mm) is eligible for a subsidy payable based on an average oversizing cost and is stated in terms of a $/m of pipe constructed. The oversizing subsidy amounts are to be reflected in an appendix of the DC Bylaw. The oversizing subsidy amounts cover the cost per metre of all associated eligible costs including engineering, manholes, restoration, etc. SS-3. Pumping Stations (CSRF- Sanitary Sewerage) The upgrading or construction of new regional pumping stations are to be identified as separate projects in the DC Background Study and are eligible for a claim from the CSRF- Sanitary Sewerage. These projects must also be identified in the Development Charges Background Study. A figure showing the location of all of these pumping stations is provided in the Sanitary Master Servicing Study. SS-4. Temporary Pumping Stations (Developer Cost) The cost of any temporary pumping stations or forcemains is borne by the developer. Approval of temporary works is at the discretion of the City Engineer. Where a temporary facility precedes the construction of a permanent facility, the developer that requires the temporary facility will be required to also assist in making provision for the permanent facility (e.g. provide land for permanent facility) as a condition of approval for the temporary facility. In order for a temporary work to proceed there must first be provisions for the permanent work within the current Development Charge Background Study. SS-5. Wastewater Treatment Upgrades (CSRF- Sanitary Sewerage) All wastewater treatment upgrades considered to satisfy a regional benefit to growth and are to be identified as separate projects in the DC Background Study and are eligible for a claim from the CSRF- Sanitary Sewerage. SS-6. Temporary Sanitary Sewerage Systems (Developer Cost) Costs of all sanitary sewage systems that are temporary or are not defined in the DC Background Charge Study shall be borne by the Developer. Approval of temporary works is at the discretion of the City Engineer. Where a temporary facility precedes the construction of a permanent facility, the developer that requires the temporary facility will be required to also assist in making provision for
City of London March 28, 2014 Development Finance
the permanent facility (e.g. secure land for permanent facility) as a condition of approval for the temporary facility. In order for a temporary work to proceed there must first be provisions for the permanent work within the current Development Charge Background Study. SS-7. Local Service Costs (Developer Cost) Any pipe or portion of a larger pipe that is less than or equal to 250mm in diameter are referred to as local works, and undertaken at the Developer’s expense.
