Form #: B-52 <br /> 7/18/91 <br /> DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE <br /> REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION <br /> DEPARTMENT: Environmental Management DATE: 5/9/19 <br /> STAFF CONTACT: Dora Beck PHONE: 961-8513 <br /> A. REQUEST: <br /> An Ordinance authorizing the Mayor to enter into an intergovernmental agreement for a State Pollution <br /> Control Revolving Fund Loan for Wastewater improvement project and authorizing the issuance of <br /> $37,000,000 General Obligation Bonds of the County of Hawai'i for the purpose of financing the following <br /> projects:, <br /> Pahala Wastewater Collection System $15,000,000 <br /> Pahala Large Capacity Cesspool Conversion $22,000,000 <br /> B. BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION (USE ADDITIONAL SHEETS AS NEEDED): <br /> The Pahala Community is currently served by a combination of Individual Sewage Disposal Systems and a <br /> County sewer system previously owned and operated by C. Brewer. The County is under a USEPA AOC to <br /> construct a secondary wastewater treatment facility to serve the community, close two large capacity <br /> cesspools (LCC), and expand the existing wastewater collection system by December 16, 2021. <br /> The current collection system is comprised of substandard gravity lines that convey sewage from <br /> approximately 109 parcels to two large capacity cesspools. The AOC requires servicing all currently <br /> connected properties and a minimum of 65 additional properties. Based on wastewater flow projections <br /> developed using 2017 City and County of Honolulu wastewater standards, the treatment and disposal facility <br /> would be designed for an average dry weather flow capacity of 190,000 gallons per day. <br /> Attachment A illustrates the parcels that would be serviced, the existing large capacity cesspool locations, <br /> and the preferred alternative site for the new secondary wastewater treatment and disposal facility. <br /> This request will provide funding for design and construction for these projects and allow us to take <br /> advantage of the lower interest rates provided by the State Revolving Fund Loan Program. <br /> SIGNED: itL _ s'�l� <br /> - DATE: 7/f <br /> Department Head <br /> g 41r1 <br />
