Sullivan County Assessment of Potable & Wastewater Infrastructure (CAPWI) Report
To better assist Sullivan County communities regarding their water and sewer systems, the Sullivan County Division of Planning, Community Development & Environmental Management, in collaboration with Delaware Engineering, DPC, has released the Sullivan County Assessment of Potable & Wastewater Infrastructure (CAPWI) Report. An extensive data collection exercise was conducted, that involved interviews with municipal officials, representatives, water and sewer operators, and engineers; and included reviewing public datasets, such as GIS-based environmental data, regulatory activities, and municipal websites. This report was written in two volumes: Volume I is a Countywide Report and Volume 2 provides Community Profiles for each of Sullivan County’s twenty-two municipalities.
The CAPWI has multiple purposes, including but not limited to, acting as:
- A springboard to planning on both a Countywide and local level
- A decision tool for prioritization of focus and investment
- A catalyst for seeking grants and low-cost financing to support capital investment
- An aid to foster economic investment to bring value to the local community and the wider region
The analysis and recommendations presented in this report are structured around enhancing coordination among municipalities and providing strategic and realistic support to municipalities. The CAPWI is a robust summary of municipal system histories, current system challenges and opportunities, connections to economic and community development, and funding needs. The CAPWI is a critical resource in understanding the needs of each municipality and how HVRC can assist them in meeting their individual goals.
