A component of this assistance is the coordination of sewer system mapping. Services are being requested to continue this assistance. 3 RWW reserves the right to contract separately with individual firms, as additional data acquisition and management services are required.

  • Providing technical assistance through the 3RWW Municipal Data Support site.


  • Updating regional sewer map with consistent objects by resolving remaining overlap issues along municipal boundaries.


  • Integrating sewage flow monitoring data and other data for hydraulic and hydrologic modeling to support preparation of regional municipal sewage management feasibility plan.

  • Engaging and supporting technical assistance to municipalities on consistent data organization.

     

    The objectives of these services are to provide support that coincides with the terms of the municipal consent agreements through 2015 with particular focus on information leading to the development of municipal sewage management feasibility plans and an asset management approach to system operations and maintenance. Scope, cost and time may be subject to change.
