COUNTY OF HAWAII HAWAII COUNTY COUNCIL PROGRAM AND BUDGET REVIEW QUESTIONNAIRE Fiscal Year 1997-1998 DEPARTMENT: Public Works DIVISION: Wastewater A. PROGRAMS 1. Identify new goals and objectives reflected in your FY 98 budget and the rationale and authority for implementation. a) Administration: i) Develop strategic plan for next ten years in order to identify areas to be sewered and other necessary expansions to the system. ii) Implement impact fees for new developments in order to finance future construction and expansion of our system. EPA grant conditions require impact fees. iii) Revise the Sewer Code to include pretreatment provisions as required by EPA. iv) Proceed with development of a geographical information system (GIS) to map our entire system for planning purposes. b) Accounting: i) Implement new user charge system. EPA grant conditions require that operations, maintenance and replacement costs be completely funded by a user charge system. ii) Implement new system for improving collection of delinquent accounts. This has been recommended in our annual audit by Deloitte & Touche for the past several years. iii) Implement new billing system. As our client base increases with the new sewer extension projects, the existing billing methods are becoming increasingly difficult to accomplish with our limited staff. By implementing a new system or by coordinating our billings with the Department of Water Supply, the need for additional workers would be minimized. C) Engineering: i) Start planning for the following projects: • Puako Wastewater System • Kapoho Wastewater System. ii) Start design for the following projects: • Ainako-Aina Nani Subdivision Sewer • Puueo Collector Sewer • Kealakehe Effluent Reuse, Phase I iii) Start construction for the following projects: • Kalanianaole Collector Sewer, Phase II • Disappearing Sands SPS • Kealakehe Effluent Reuse, Phase I 0 Waiakea Houselots Collector Sewer, Phase II
