Rate Studies During FY2002, outside consultants completed the "Water and Wastewater Capital Improvements Program and Rate Study". The Study outlined several goals over the next five years for the City's Water and Sewer Master Plan, summarized as follows: Water system projects were identified based on three primary goals: Goal 1- Reduce unaccounted-for water loss to a maximum of 12% of water purchased and raise revenues by increasing measured water usage. Goal 2- Improve/upgrade the water system to improve water pressure and fire hYdrant water flow to the City's customers. Goal 3- North Andrews Gardens- The Study recommended that the City removed this capital project from its plans, as it was not considered cost feasible. Sewer system projects were identified based on two primary goals: Goal 1- Reduce inflow and infiltration that increases the volume of wastewater treated at the Sroward County and City of Fort Lauderdale Wastewater Treatment Plants. Goal 2- Upgrade the City's pump stations from the existing "can type" to the modern "submersible pumps" . 75
