FOREWORD

This capital improvement planning (CIP) document can be utilized to identify and document capital projects for a public water system. The CIP is divided into six (6) categories and gathers existing engineering and planning information. The CIP is designed to provoke a thought process for capital needs for the water works system that may not be apparent from existing engineering or evaluative documents.

This 'short form' CIP document is primarily intended to outline capital project needs for the existing water works system structures and components. Completion of the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection 'long term' Facilities Action Plan and Capital Improvement Program Guidance Document is intended to provide detailed answers to longer term planning needs, utilizes this 'short term' CIP document as data towards identifying capital needs projects and completes an Asset Management Plan for water works assets.
