Public Education and Outreach The Utility engaged in an aggressive public education campaign throughout 2016 related to inflow and infiltration utilizing the professional services of Hirons, an Indianapolis based advertising and public relations company with experience in the sewer industry, to assist in the effort. This outreach program has included media releases, the creation of public education materials, public outreach booths at City events and festivals, and open house events. The City also hosted two (2) events specifically geared towards home inspectors, plumbers, and licensed contractors related to illicitly connected sump pumps. The outreach has focused on two campaigns :

• Find it, Fix it- focusing specifically on inflow and infiltration and removal of s ump pumps and downspouts from the system. A sample of the materials generated and promoted as part of the Find it, Fix it program can be found on the City' s newly revamped website at: http://www.greenwood.in.gov/subtopic/index. php?topicid= I 03&structureid= 13

• Greenwood Goes Green - highlighting sustainability and water quality issues. A sample of the materials generated and promoted as part of the Greenwood Goes Green campaign can be found at: http://www.greenwood .in.gov/division/blocks.php?structureid= 151

Capital Improvement Plan The Utility also continues to make progress on its ten ( I 0) year capital improvement plan. Following completion of sewer relining and repair work in Basin 25 in 2015 and 2016, work has moved northward into Basin 23 along the east side of Madison Avenue. Approximately $2.5 million of lining work was contracted for this area in201 6; the originally contracted work has been completed, and the Utility has added scope to the contract due to lower than anticipated costs. Additional work estimated to be in the $ 1 million range is planned for 2017, and bids will be solicited for this work in the first quarter. The Utility a lso entered into a contract with Strand Engineering for design and engineering services for the next three (3) years for additiona l sewer lining and replacement capital projects. This contract represents a significant commitment from the Utility to continue to upgrade and replace aging infrastructure in an effort to combat inflow and infiltration into the system. Design work has also continued on the Western Interceptor project, a major capital project aimed at sign ificantly reducing overflows and capacity issues within the Uti lity's system. The Western Interceptor project is currently at 95% design drawings and has entered into the land acquisition stage of the project. The City hosted two (2) open houses for impacted property owners; has completed the surveying process; and is in the midst of the appraisal process to obtain the necessary easements for construction of the Western Interceptor project. A fact sheet highlighting the Western Interceptor Project is attached hereto for your reference.

Ongoing Items In addition to the above items, senior staff hold regular review meetings on the Compliance Plan. Staff present included Corporation Counsel, the Sanitation Superintendent, Deputy Mayor, the Stormwater Superintendent, City Engineer, and City Controller.

Field staff is currently utilizing Cityworks Asset Management software for inventory of infrastructure assets, creation and closeout of work orders, and inspection tasks.

Inspections of manholes and sanitary sewer pipes in accordance with the plan remain ongoing.

Twice monthly updates of IDEM Compliance and Plan progress are provided to the Board of Public Works and Safety and the Common Council by staff.

Sewer Rate and Find it, Fix it Credit In late 2016, the Board of Public Works and Safety recommended, and the Common Council approved, a sanitary sewer rate increase necessary to fund the Uti li ty's Capital Improvement P lan, including the Western Regional Interceptor project fo llowing the completion of a rate study by Crowe Horwath LLP. The rate ordinance institutes a 13% increase to the City's sewer rates effective January I, 2017; an 11 % increase effective January I , 208; a 10% increase effective January I, 2019; and an 8% increase effective January 1, 2020.

In late 2016, the Board of Public Works and Safety also recommended, and the Common Council approved, a $100 one time Find it, Fix it credit for sanitary sewer utility customers who demonstrate compliant connections to the sanitary sewer system through a certified inspection by a licensed plumber, home inspector, or professional engineer.

If you would like additional information or any other documentation evidencing the City's compl iance, please do not hesitate to contact Corporation Counsel's Office.
