CAPITAL FINANCING JUSTIFICATION
Capital additions to the Water System are justified by using six revenue sources: user charges;
assessments or distribution tapping fees; supply tapping fees; contributions-in-aid of
construction; reimbursements from the wastewater funds; and grants. By capitalizing user
charges and reduced operating costs, a capital additions justification can be derived.
For purposes of this presentation, we have grouped developer contributions and grants as
"construction contributions." Reimbursements from the wastewater fund and the City of
Allentown systems are included under Operating Revenues.
We have assumed revenues based on the existing water rates, with incremental net revenues
(gross revenues less operating expenses) available for debt service. Under current conditions,
we estimate that 70 percent of user charge revenue is available as incremental net revenue.
This available amount has been capitalized to determine additional borrowing capacity.
The Water Capital Plan is separated by service area with the following assumptions used to
develop this report:
1. Additional customer estimates are based on past average
experience and LCA records of proposed development.
2. Average annual residential usage and gross revenue at current rates.
3. New commercial/industrial revenue is derived from the additional estimated
customer usage, billed at current rate schedules.

We expect to have approximately $6,500,000 of operating reserves available at the start of
2016 and an estimated $3,000,000 of 2010 Construction fund monies and capital reserves to
pay future capital costs. LCA also anticipates sustaining an additional operating surplus of
$1,200,000 annually over the next 8 years.

2. Location:
3. Description:
Multi-year project to document baseline condition of water facility buildings and prioritize and perform needed improvements. Assessment
to include: 1) structures/HVAC; 2) mechanical/electrical. Industry standard asset management protocol is to be used including risk analysis
in order to prioritize and implement maintenance upgrades and repairs repairs to maintain an acceptable level of service. 16 facilities are
included in scope.
4. Justification (need, function, selection of time, specific relationship to any long-term work program):
Existing water facility buildings display a wide range of age, condition, and a baseline condition assessment is needed using an asset
management framework to plan and prioritize maintenance repairs and upgrades, in order to maintain an acceptable level of service and
avoid failure. A condition ranking system will be employed to dovetail with an asset management program for SD facilities. Work in year 2
will begin prioritized upgrades, which is not to include major facilities replacement (which will be stand-alone capital project).

3. Description:
This Project addresses the needs of five satellite water systems, four of which; Clear View Farms; Mill Creek; Beverly Hills and Madison Park
are operating on one well and have no back up. For these four systems, when applicable existing wells that are not utilized will be evaluated
and if practicable rehabilitated; otherwise new wells would be constructed. This project will also upgrade the chlorine contact systems for these
systems. The fifth, the Upper Milford Division has two wells but will need additional supply capacity to accommodate future growth. An
interconnection with the Central Lehigh System is being considered in lieu of an additional well related infrastructure
4. Justification (need, function, selection of time, specific relationship to any long-term work program):
Satellite systems are at risk, should the single well fail the impact customers could be lengthily . Newly permitted municipal systems are
required to have redundant supplies.

2. Location:
3. Description:
The project consists of approximately 600 lf. of 6-inch diameter water main that will connect to the main
NWD system at the intersection of Rt. 873 & Crestwood Drive and extend along Crestwood Drive to the LCA well station
to supply three new booster pumps. The two existing wells and storage tank will be abandoned. SCADA will be included
for the project.
4. Justification (need, function, selection of time, specific relationship to any long-term work program):
During prolonged periods of hot weather, the capacity of the current well supply line is inadequate to meet high volume lawn
watering and water restrictions must be implemented. In addition, the current wells have a high manganese content which
requires frequent system flushing. At times the manganese clogs meters and service lines and is the cause for many customer
complaints.

3. Description:
The project consists of a 3-pump 2 MGD water booster pumping station with generator and high service
pump, and approximately 1,600 linear-feet of 12-inch diameter main extending from the intersection of Cetronia Road and
Werley Road north along Werley Road and connecting to the existing main in Laurel Field in Upper Macungie Township.
It is envisioned that the pumping station will be located on a small permanent easement yet to be obtained. SCADA will be
included for the project.
4. Justification (need, function, selection of time, specific relationship to any long-term work program):
The CLD system is divided into two primary gravity service elevations: the Upper System (US) and the Lower System (LS).
Currently water can be transferred down from the US to the LS, but there are no facilities that can pump water from the LS
to the US. The proposed auxiliary pumping station will provide added reliability and a higher level of service to the US. In
addition, it will provide flexibility for utilizing water purchased from the City of Allentown.

4. Justification (need, function, selection of time, specific relationship to any long-term work program):
The project will extend water service to the west side of Route 309, leading to the future expansion of the NWD water service
area in a highly populated area. At the current time there is an opportunity to cross Pa Route 309 with a significant cost savings
as PennDot completed a project in 2013, where a casing across RT 309 was installed at LCA's request and expense costing
less than in normal circumstances. Now that the PennDot project is complete LCA is allowed to construct the remaining

2. Location:
3. Description:
Update compatible non-residential water meters that have not exceeded their useful life to radio read (RR)
equipment. Replace non-residential water meters that are 2" and smaller and 15 years and older with new RR type. We
recommend that Operations budget to test approximately 35 larger meters to ensure calibration standards. Customers
not having proper backflow safeguards would be addressed in a separate retrofit project.
4. Justification (need, function, selection of time, specific relationship to any long-term work program):
Approximately 110 newer meters will be upgraded to RR capability and 260 older meters that have reached the end of
their useful lives will be replaced with RR compatible equipment. Upgrades to equipment that allows RR will increase
meter reading accuracy and efficiency that will allow operators to focus efforts in more technical areas. New meters
have a low flow accuracy more than 4 times greater than older meters and accurately cover a wider range of flow.

WASTEWATER WASTEWATER
10-YEAR CAPITAL PLAN
2016 - 2025
CAPITAL FINANCING JUSTIFICATION
This part of the Capital Plan includes 19 projects, the largest of which are the Central
Lehigh County Wastewater Capacity Plan and the I&I investigation and remediation program.
Capital additions to the wastewater system in this ten-year plan will be financed from four
revenue sources: user charges, operating reserves, borrowed funds and capital recovery fees.
Because each wastewater system has its own rate structure, a justification is shown for each
system, where applicable.
The impact on pertinent wastewater funds from various projects is as follows:
WESTERN LEHIGH INTERCEPTOR SYSTEM
Costs of Projects S-2, S-5, S-10, S-24 and S-27 totaling $ 43,433,000 will be funded through a
combination of reserves, operating revenues, borrowed funds and capital recovery fees
collected from new customers. Specifically, $ 16,000,000 will be financed from operating
reserves and revenues, $ 3,500,000 from capital recovery fees, with the remainder
($ 23,858,000) financed by borrowed funds (30 yr term). It is anticipated that the financing will
be broken into two equal increments approximately 5 years apart. In aggregate this will produce
annual debt service of $ 1,465,000, a 21.4 increase in annual cost, assuming no growth of the
customer base. The increase equates to an annual charge to the typical residential customer of
$ ______. It is expected that costs expended for Project S-3 (Central Lehigh County
Wastewater Capacity Planning/Expansion) will be totally funded by capital recovery fees
through mid 2017; thereafter funds will be borrowed to cover costs exceeding capital recovery
fee revenue. When the new plant/plant improvements are in service the cost will be borne from
capital recovery fees from new users and service charges to customers.
LITTLE LEHIGH RELIEF INTERCEPTOR SYSTEM
Projects S-15 and S-23 will be funded through borrowed funds and capital recovery fees.
It is anticipated that borrowed funds in the amount of $ 2,460,000 will finance these projects.
The debt will be retired through future capital recovery fees and user charges. The user charge
increase is estimated to be approximately .04/1000gals or a 40% increase, beginning in 2018.
COMMON RATE COLLECTOR SYSTEMS
Projects S-6, S-7, S-9, S-11, S-13, S-14 and S-17 will be funded through a combination
of reserves, capital recovery fees and borrowed funds for the Common Rate systems (Upper
Milford, Weisenberg-Point West, Wynnewood Terrace, Heidelberg Heights and Sand Spring).
Funds will be borrowed to finance Projects S-6, S-7, S-13, S-14 and S-17 in the amount of
$ 6,909,000. The debt will be retired from Operating Revenues and Capital Recovery Fees. This
represents a rate increase of approximately 60.4% to current customers. Project S-13 will be
constructed only if intervening land along the route is developed to justify the cost of the project.
It is assumed that approximately 60% of the project cost will be funded using new Capital
recovery fees which will reduce the impact on existing customers. The project will also eliminate
26
the need for the Sand Spring wastewater treatment plant and should result in operational cost
savings.
LCA WASTEWATER PLANT
Ongoing Revenues are expected to finance the ongoing capital improvements (S-22) to
the plant. Project S-26 will be funded through borrowed funds, but energy savings will result in
an estimated 10 to 12 year payback period. Any additional costs will be borne by users of the
system.
OTHER PROJECTS
S-25 LYNN TOWNSHIP WTP EXPANSION
Potential system growth is the driver for this project but if the housing market
remains sluggish, expansion will be deferred until needed. Also, the removal of system
I/I may further delay this effort. Project costs will be funded from current reserves and
borrowed funds. The borrowed funds will be repaid from Capital recovery fees and
supplemental user charges, yet to be determined. Assuming only user charge increases
fund the debt a 73% increase would result.
S-16 ARCADIA WEST
This project will be funded from current reserves.

SUBURBAN DIVISION-CAPITAL PROGRAMMING PROJECT DETAIL
W. Lehigh City Service Area
2. Location:
3. Description:
Planning for additional treatment capacity for WLI service area and construction of selected alternative.
This project is needed for future wastewater treatment capacity and covers either expanding the KIWWTP from 40 to 44 mgd
or converting the LCA WTP the pretreatment plant to a full treatment facility, which includes discharge pumping and piping.
This project includes planning, design and construction. Cost estimates are based on the 2011 Malcolm Pirnie report
"Updated Cost summary for Wastewater Capacity." The costs were updated to reflect new DRBC and DEP requirements.
4. Justification (need, function, selection of time, specific relationship to any long-term work program):
The City Klines Island WWTP does not currently have enough available wastewater treatment allocation to meet LCA's future needs.
To meet wastewater treatment needs, the best available options must be investigated. Although some
recovery of capacity will occur through Inflow/Infiltration removal, there is no
wastewater allocation remaining for sale. Updating the 537 Plan is the primary cost factor for planning.
Capital costs will be recovered through a combination of increased user fees and capital recovery fees to new customer.

2. Location:
3. Description:
Multi-year project to document baseline condition of sewer facility buildings & prioritize & perform needed improvements. Asses sment to include: 1)
structures/HVAC; 2) mechanical/electrical. Industry standard asset management protocol is to be utilized including a risk an alysis
in order to plan and prioritize maintenance upgrades and repairs to maintain an acceptable high level of service. 11 facilities are included
in the scope.
4. Justification (need, function, selection of time, specific relationship to any long-term work program):
Existing sewer facility buildings display a wide range of age & condition; a baseline condition assessment is needed using an asset management
framework to plan and prioritize maintenance repairs and upgrades, in order to maintain an acceptable level of service and avoid failure. A condition
ranking system will be employed to dovetail with an asset management program for SD facilities. Work in year 2 begins annual upgrade work, which does
not include major facilities replacement (which would be a stand-alone capital project).

Park Pump Station Renovations & Improvements
SD-S -15
Preparer:
City of Allentown
3. Description:
The facility is in need of infrastructure repairs, improvements and upgrades. Among the items included is a full SCADA
upgrade to allow remote operation of the facility, replacing the influent sluice gate and hydraulic operator, upgrade to VFD
pump motor control, possibly replacing the 400 HP pump motors and numerous other small items.
4. Justification (need, function, selection of time, specific relationship to any long-term work program):
The Park Pump Station is an integral component of the sewerage network in the region, serving ten municipalities. Its operation also
significantly impacts the operation of Allentown's wastewater treatment plant at Kline's Island. The improvements are needed to keep
the facility viable into the foreseeable future most and will enhance the operating capabilities after 24 years of being in service.

UMT
2. Location:
3. Description:
This capital project is a comprehensive phased multi-year program to address the continued reliability and
functionality of the LCA Wastewater Treatment Plant. Program components include addressing the aging cryogenic system,
headworks improvements, primary clarifier equipment, waste hauler receiving system, aeration tank mixers, final settling process,
sludge dewatering system, buildings and structures (roofs and doors), SCADA system automation, and general site improvements.
4. Justification (need, function, selection of time, specific relationship to any long-term work program):
Capital improvements for the facility have been underfunded for years. The lack of expenditures, the corrosive
environment, the 24/7 operation since 1990, and significantly increasing industrial loading rates all necessitate repairs, replacements,
upgrades and potential process expansions of the facilities. The Capital Plan endeavors to re-establish the reliability and structural
integrity of the physical plant unit processes with the objective of continuing to meet discharge limits and maintain a high level of
service. The plan includes a belt filter press re-builds in year one, new final clarifier and full plant SCADA system in year 2,
new sludge dewatering equipment in year 4, and replacing the oxygen plant in year 6.

3. Description:
The project includes two major components; (1) Investigatory/planning work such as flow monitoring, the SCARP development, SSES, Level of
Service Determination, Alternatives Analysis , etc. that are necessary to develop the best course of action to reduce I&I within the system(s). Much
of this work has been completed; (2) Design, permitting and the construction of new and rehabilitate infrastructure that will be necessary to comply
with the EPA Administrative Order (AO) for eliminating SSOs. Note : This Project includes the(CDM-B-13) Extension of the Little Relief Line to the
KIWWTP
4. Justification (need, function, selection of time, specific relationship to any long-term work program):
The City and all City Signatories where the latter includes LCA are under an EPA AO to eliminate SSOs within the sanitary sewer system. Secondly,
LCA and the LCA Signatories, are required by DEP to reduce I & I within the system in order to allow new connections the LCA system. The
availability of wastewater service for business and residential properties is a critical component for the areas economic growth.

Lynn Township Wastewater Treatment Plant Upgrades & Expansion
SD-S-25
Lynn Twp.
2. Location:
3. Description:
The Project is envisioned to be executed in two phases: Phase 1 includes influent chamber modifications,
mechanical screen, a valve chamber with meter and chemical feed system that is expected to be completed in 2016. Phase 2
is the expansion of the WWTP capacity from 80,000 GPD to 160,000 GPD. Gannett Fleming, who was also the LTSA engineer
prior to the LCA acquisition of the system, will submit for the necessary permits from DEP.
4. Justification (need, function, selection of time, specific relationship to any long-term work program):
The Phase 1 upgrades will improve the WWTP operation. The Phase 2 WWTP expansion addressed in the Township's Act 537
Plan is driven by projected growth and system infiltration and inflow (I/I) issues. Timing of the WWTP expansion will be dependent
upon I/I remediation efforts and growth.

Preparer:
LCA WTP
2. Location:
3. Description:
The project includes the evaluation of options and the construction of an on-site Combined Heat and Power (CHP) system w/ bio-gas
storage which will utilize the bio-gas to generate electrical power and provide heat to the digesters. The project estimate assumes a
traditional design/bid /construct LCA owned & operated CHP system. However, alternative options similar to the PPL contract i n the
Allentown Division were LCA provides the bio-gas, and PPL invests the capital, and owns and operates the system then sells power to LCA at
a reduced cost are also being explored
4. Justification (need, function, selection of time, specific relationship to any long-term work program):
The project will utilize the biogas produced at the WTP to generate on-site approximately 75% of the WTP electrical needs. In addition, heat
will be recovered from the generator and used to heat the digesters.
