WaterDuring Kansas City’s earliest days, most residents drew water from cisterns and wells,

but waterborne illness was common and fire protection was lacking. In 1874, work began on the city’s first waterworks, which originally provided 5 million gallons of

drinkable water per day from the Kaw River.

Today, Kansas City Water Services is focused on providing quality water services as we prepare for the water needs of the next generation. Water Services

draws from the Missouri River to produce up to 240 million of gallons of drinking water, serving more than 460,000 Kansas City residents and 33

wholesale customers in the greater Kansas City area. In order to get quality drinking water to customer’s taps, we operate and maintain almost 2,800 miles of water mains in Kansas City. This drinking water is regularly tested for over 290 constituents, which is above and beyond the number required by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

In addition to water treatment and delivery systems, Water Services also operates and maintains approximately 23,000 fire hydrants.

WaSteWaterKansas City began building its basic sewer infrastructure more than 150 years ago, and some of that system is still in use today. In order to provide quality wastewater services the Department maintains nearly 2,800 miles of sewers which deliver almost 72 million gallons of wastewater to the City’s six wastewater treatment plants each day.

As part of our commitment to safeguarding the future of Kansas City’s wastewater systems, Water Services recently completed $96 million in disinfection improvements projects across all six wastewater treatment facilities. These improvements foster the health of the community by improving the quality of water returned to area waterways.

Just as with other cities across the country, Water Services is in the process of implementing a $4.5—5 billion, 25-year federally-mandated Overflow Control Program (OCP). This program has received national recognition for being among the first to incorporate significant green solutions.

Additionally, Water Services operates Birmingham Biosolids Farm, where more than 5,500 dry tons of biosolids are applied to the farm’s 1,350 acres of corn and soybean crops, which are not intended for human consumption. Birmingham Biosolids Farm averages $477,000 in revenue a year from the harvest and sale of crops to local grain elevators for ultimate use as biofuels.

StormWaterWater Services is committed to the safety and health of our community by providing essential stormwater services for Kansas City’s residents. A 1,250-mile stormwater system carries water from more than 44,000 catch basins serving the developed areas of Kansas City. In addition, Water Services maintains a flood control system that includes 13 miles of levee and floodwall; it is the nation’s third-longest urban levee system. Water Services has 15 flood pump stations serving the area behind the levees, and maintains six

detention basins to help with stormwater runoff.

other ProgramSIn addition to providing quality water, wastewater, and stormwater services, Water Services protects area waterways through the collection and safe disposal of household hazardous wastes and yard wastes.

In 1996, Water Services opened the Household Hazardous Waste Facility in response to both a consent decree and public need. This facility serves five counties and 40 incorporated cities, and it can handle up to 1,250,000 pounds of material per year. Since 2005, the facility has achieved a zero-landfill goal.

Beginning in Fall 2013, Water Services will begin overseeing the City’s annual leaf and brush collection program.

induStryovervieWThe American Water Works Association (AWWA) recently published a national report detailing the specific challenges America is facing when it comes to water infrastructure.

Key findings from this nationally-recognized report from AWWA indicate that much of the nation’s drinking water infrastructure is nearing the end of its useful lifespan. Thus, cities across America are faced with a significant need to replace much of the aging infrastructure in the near future. Further expanding on this critical need is an expanding population base, which requires expanding water distribution systems to provide water service to more individuals.

It is estimated that replacing America’s aging infrastructure will cost in excess of $1 trillion over the next 25 years. This means that customers will be faced with rising costs to “catch up” with deferred investments. However, the cost of not replacing these critical pipe segments is believed to be of greater risk to public health and safety than financing this investment now.

Water Services is committed to investing in the future of Kansas City’s infrastructure systems to safeguard and protect our resources and to deliver the highest-quality water services to our customers. Our teams are dedicated to strategically examining our infrastructure to improve our system.

The American Water Works Association report, “Buried No Longer: Confronting America’s Water Infrastructure Challenge,” can be found online at www.awwa.org.

KanSaS city Water ServiceS

Laying the foundation is a critical step in building successful infrastructures, organizations, and teams. The foundation provides stability and balance for planned growth, and direction for the framework of success. Two years ago, Water Services stood on an unstable foundation: frequent changes in leadership had left the organization without a solid strategic plan; organizational infrastructure was in dire need of rehabilitation and key positions within the Department were left vacant; customers expressed dissatisfaction with service; and communication with key stakeholders and customers was lacking and inconsistent.

Over the past year, Water Services has made a number of significant improvements: we’ve reorganized; established benchmarks and performance measures for the business; initiated the first water master plan since 1997; and established a strong five-year Capital Improvements Plan.

With these foundational elements in place, Water Services is showing signs of success. Water Services has hired more new staff members than any other time in the last five years. We’ve achieved measurable improvements in our Customer Service Call Center due in part to newly implemented hiring and training programs. As promised, construction projects are underway and being completed in a timely manner. Maintenance and operations teams have improved repair times, ensuring that our customers receive the services they need with shorter interruptions.

These, and other improvements at Water Services, are early indicators of the achievement that is yet to come. Still, we have much work to accomplish in the coming year. Water Services has heard from our customers and we are ready to respond. Customers expect the services and value provided by a progressive, 21st-century utility. They want and deserve good customer service, more meaningful interactions, fewer service interruptions, and the opportunity to do business with us in a way that is convenient and efficient.

In the coming year, we will be focused on upgrading key processes and systems, improving the safety of our employees, improving customer satisfaction ratings, delivering improved customer service experiences at every interaction, and making it easier for our customers to do business with us. We are committed to reinvesting in our system, making replacements and repairs that will serve Kansas City for generations to come. Water Services will continue to implement our long-term plan for meeting consent decree requirements for reducing sewer overflows. Our strong bond rating, and success in raising money in the capital markets, provides assurance that we can continue to execute on our five-year plan in these areas.

As Water Services continues to transform into a professional, data-driven, customer-focused utility, we will be using the benchmarks and supporting plans outlined in the following pages to sharpen our vision for a better tomorrow. I am encouraged by the work that is underway, and I look forward to reporting greater success in the years to come.

Sincerely,

Terry Leeds, Director

The modernization of our system remains a key priority for Water Services and will include, in part, the rehabilitation of 13 miles of the sewer system in Fiscal Year 2014.

Water Services has committed to a 25-year, federally-mandated Overflow Control Program which will meet consent decree requirements for reducing or eliminating overflows within combined and separate sewer systems.

Measurement of program goals will include the development of a program management structure for executing a private-side inflow and infiltration abatement program, and seeking approval of the program from the City Council.

Maintenance milestones for the successful execution of the program in Fiscal Year 2014 are measured by the cleaning of 283 miles of sewer lines, and the completion of closed-circuit television inspections for 91 miles of sewer lines. These efforts will be concentrated in areas where backflows and overflows are prevalent.

Water Services is committed to safeguarding health of our community and its natural resources by implementing programs for the control of the quality and quantity of stormwater runoff, and flood mitigation. Maintaining Kansas City’s stormwater system is an important initiative for Water Services in Fiscal Year 2014. Maintenance milestones will include cleaning 18,000 stormwater inlets, repairing and replacing 300 catch basins, and sweeping 14,000 gutter miles.

Water Services is committed to providing services and resources that meet the needs and expectations of the customers we serve. Achieving this goal requires accountability at every level of the business. Water Services has developed a scorecard for measuring success across critical business areas, aligning our financial plans with the goals and objectives of the organization, while providing a means for monitoring our performance.

These goals and initiatives have been carefully developed by each division within Water Services, and they provide accountability and a means of measuring our progress. Our path toward achieving these goals is regularly reported to the City Manager, Mayor, and City Council, as well as to the teams within Water Services.

Key goalS & initiativeS For FiScal year 2014

Water Services has presented a five-year Capital Improvements Plan for key infrastructure investments throughout the system. Execution of this plan will be measured through the modernization of our infrastructure and timely repair of the systems that serve our customers. Key measurements of success will include the completion of 19 miles of main replacements.

In addition, the organization will implement project and data management system controls for evaluating the five-year Capital Improvements Plan. Water Services will focus on the repair and restoration of our system when critical elements fail. Measurements for success will include improved repair and restoration time for main breaks, continuation of the valve exercise and replacement plan, and reductions in work order backlogs.

The safety of each employee is an important responsibility and is not an obligation taken lightly by Water Services. It is the Department’s goal to reduce the injury rate by 25 percent.

Water Services will be measuring the total customer experience across every aspect of the utility. Quarterly customer surveys enable us to measure a variety of customer touch points in the areas of water, wastewater, stormwater, and customer service. This feedback provides important benchmarks and measurements of our performance and will be used to drive ongoing improvements relating to customer satisfaction.

Improving the way Water Services conducts business with our customers will be directly impacted through improved practices in the Call Center and the billing function. Measured goals will focus on improving the customer’s ability to reach our agents, answering calls more quickly, and reducing the total number of billing issues. Additional measures for success will be placed on redesigning business processes and increasing the number of self-service transactions which take place online through the Department’s improved website.

local contractor develoPmentWater Services’ $4.5 billion investment in the implementation of the 25-year Overflow Control Program provides a unique opportunity to support Kansas City’s small businesses as well as minority- and woman-owned business enterprises. Targeted contracting strategies will create partnerships that will further enhance the business capabilities and revenues for all three of these groups. Measured success will be directly tied to attaining programmatic goals for contracts established with small businesses, minority- and women-owned enterprises in the region.

communicationSWater Services is committed to strengthening customer relationships by improving their overall experience through the quality of the communications they receive. A new website, which is scheduled to launch in the spring of 2013, will provide customer-focused tools enabling individuals to more easily service their accounts and obtain helpful and timely information.

In addition, through the increased utilization of the website, various electronic tools, and public outreach activities, Water Services will improve the quality and timeliness of the information and updates customers receive, especially during times of critical service interruptions.

Finance & PerFormance rePortingWater Services has achieved a strong financial rating, which allows the Department to secure bonds at low rates. Water Services is committed to maintaining this strong financial rating, which will achieve cost savings in the upcoming fiscal year.

Additionally, the Department will work to fully fund upcoming infrastructure investments, hold operating expenses to inflationary increases, maintain appropriate cash levels, meet debt coverage requirements, and continue a balance between pay-as-you-go and using capital financing.
