Capital Improvement Plans and Ongoing Planning Activities For Georgia Local Governments
Principals of Engineering Management, Inc. have been heavily involved in long-term and
short-term planning of water and sewer systems for over 45 years. Many
municipalities have engaged EMI to develop a Capital Improvement Plan as a planning and engineering tool to provide a framework for future expansion of the water and sewer
system and develop orderly expansion with goals. The Capital Improvement Plan is
suitable for obtaining long-range funding and/or grants and short- and long-term planning.
Capital Improvement Plans evaluate many items associated with utility systems from
infrastructure to system finances. Capital Improvement Plans also evaluate historical
growth and projections in population, water and sewer customers, water demand, sewer
flow, in order to develop future water supply demands and sewer flows. Projects of special note include:
