Capital Improvement Plan
LCWSD has established a twenty (20) year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) based on allowable densities and projected water and wastewater demands of Lancaster County. This CIP will allow LCWSD to continue to grow and expand its water and wastewater infrastructure to meet the residential, commercial and industrial growth over the next twenty (20) years with a cost of nearly $120,000,000. This CIP is a plan for the future and is updated at least every two years or as needed and changes based on allowable densities, growth and other factors.
New Water Construction
In 2011, Water Capital Improvements are projected to include:
Completing the installation of a 16” water main line from Highway 521 along Shiloh Unity Road to the existing Unity Elevated Storage Facility located on Dudley Steele Road at a cost of $1,500,000. Construction for a new 750,000 gallon elevated storage facility for the Buford and Unity communities is also slated to begin at a cost of $1,700,000. This additional infrastructure will increase LCWSD’s ability to meet the growing water demands in the eastern part of Lancaster County well into the future.
Complete the design and permitting of the Catawba River Water Treatment Plant Reservoir Expansion Project and the Catawba River Water Treatment Plant Modifications. These 2 projects when combined will cost approximately $28,000,000.
