Capital Improvement Program

The image shows tanks and construction materials at a site, likely involving industrial or utility infrastructure.

Master Plan- CURRENTLY UNDER CONSTRUCTION

Goleta Sanitary District’s Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) consists of a suggested schedule to rebuild or replace aging major equipment over a defined period of time. Projects are identified as near-term, to be completed in 1 to 5 years, or as long-term, to be completed in 6 to 10 years.

Condition Assessment/Equipment Life Cycle

A rating system was developed to evaluate major equipment using three key criteria: physical condition, operation and maintenance costs, and technology. Based on the rating results, improvements are identified and prioritized, with a suggested schedule for implementing them.

Program Review

A construction site with heavy machinery digging and laying a large pipe in a trench along a roadway.

The status of the capital improvement projects is reviewed on a regular basis. New projects are identified and added to the list and priorities are reevaluated with emphasis placed on those projects that have the greatest impact to improve overall treatment process efficiency.

Successful Projects

Past projects have replaced or refurbished worn or obsolete mechanical and electrical equipment, instrumentation and controls, and pipe and valve configurations. These projects have included replacing the aeration air manifold in the solids contact channel, removing a buried diesel tank, reparing and relining the headworks grit channels, and replacing the steel doors throughoutt the plant.
