1000+ miles of wastewater lines
3000+ acres of parkland
2+ M square feet of facilities
Water/wastewater treatments plants

2000+ computers and servers
Landfill
1,600+ vehicles/pieces of equipment

CAPITAL PLANNING & FUNDING

Comprehensive Plan
Master Plans
Assessments & Evaluations

CAPITAL PLANNING & FUNDING

Annual CIP as part of Annual Budget
Funded through debt (GO/CO/RevBonds), cash,
tax revenue, rates, fees, state loans, grants, etc
FY 15/16 $80 Million

CAPITAL PLANNING & FUNDING

Traditionally most General Fund Projects (Fire

Stations, New Equipment, Streets, New
Facilities, IT, etc) funded through cash realized
through preceding budget year savings
Traditionally most Utility projects (water,
wastewater, drainage, etc) funded through a
combination of cash realized through increased
sales and through debt backed by rate increases

CAPITAL PLANNING & FUNDING

Needs are outpacing resources at an increasing

rate. This means.

Not able to maintain pavement preservation program

within life cycle goals
Not able to address drainage needs of both growth
and existing problem areas
Not able to address utility needs of both growth and
existing problem areas
Not able to meet community level of service
expectations in parks and recreation, transit, etc.
Not able to meet internal service demands for IT,
communications, fleet, facilities, etc.

REPRESENTATIVE PROJECTS

LIFT STATION 32

Lift Station # 32 was Identified in the 2013 WW Master

Study as being overloaded and it was determined that the
wet well was undersized
The study also identified that the wet well was in need of
repairs as soon as probable from deterioration from high
levels of H2S.
The City of Amarillo conducted a feasibility study with
Kimley-Horn to determine rehabilitation or replacement
options. The engineer and city staff determined that if LS
32 was moved north just under mile, we would gain
approximately 15 of depth and the ability to serve another
5 sections of land south and east of the proposed new
location of Lift Station 32.

Current Service Area for LS #32

New Service Area for LS #32

NORTHEAST OUTFALL LINE

Address the preliminary design of a new 3-MGD facility.

Consider two treatment processes: one using an oxidation
ditch and the other a conventional activated sludge plant.
Address the Northeast Interceptor as the proposed means of
conveying wastewater to either RR or in combination with a
scalping plant.
Determine a preliminary pipeline route allowing operation of
the interceptor main without pumping.

Identified in the 2013 WW Mater study in Task M section 5.2

under option #1.
In the WW Master study proposed CIP schedule as project #
37.

Identified in the WW Master Study the first option to relieve

the load from LS # 29 and expand the north east corridor

NORTHWEST OUTFALL LINE

The Northwest Wastewater Outfall Line was originally identified

in the 1995 City of Amarillo Wastewater Collection Master Plan
Further developed in the 2007 Northwest Amarillo Wastewater
Serviceability Study
Will consists of mains ranging from 10 to 30-inch beginning just
north of Lift Station 48 and extending north to Lift Station 40
The outfall line will eliminate/decommission the need for Lift
Stations 39, 44 and 45

Lift Stations 44 and 45 are small package lift stations that currently serve
very small areas along Citadel Dr
Lift Station 39 (a small wet well/dry well station) has a small service area
that flows into the station where it is pumped to the east parallel to
Fairway Dr. The wet well will continue to be used as a manhole.

Increase capacity for future growth and development of the

medical centers and surrounding basins.
