The Ten-Year Plan totals $506.7 million for this category that is funded as follows; $30.1 million in City
General Obligation funding, $91.1 million in State funds, and $385.5 million in Water Authority funding. The
plan includes the remediation of closed landfills, water meter installation, vehicles, computer equipment, facility
purchase and the relocation of utility mains for sewer and water projects.
The Department will continue installing meters for all 828,000 residential and commercial customers and
replacing approximately 85,000 meters that were installed prior to the beginning of the Universal Metering
Program in 1988 at a cost of $67.6 million in the Ten-Year Plan. The meter program allows the Department to
charge customers for actual usage rather than on an estimated usage based on property characteristics, thus
providing more equitable billing, encouraging water conservation, and allowing better water management. An
additional $36 million is allocated for plumbing retrofit rebates for participants in the multiple dwelling
conservation program, which is expected to begin in 2002. /

both in the design phase lor landfill caps, landfill gas collection and disposal systems and stormwater management
