Origin

(June 9, 2022) Report from the General Manager Toronto Water

Summary

This report requests City Council's authority to amend Toronto Water's Approved 2022 Capital Budget and 2023-2031 Capital Plan by adjusting project  cash flows contained within the Budget and Plan, respectively, to align forecasted project accelerations and deferrals.  Additional reallocations to project cashflows and project costs are requested where project costs exceed the current approved cashflows and project costs. These reallocations will allow Toronto Water to continue to deliver projects within its capital plan.  The adjustments will have a zero dollar impact on the 2022 Capital Budget and 2023-2031 Capital Plan and will align the budget and plan with Toronto Water's capital project delivery schedule and program requirements.

 

In addition, City Council's authority is requested to amend Toronto Water's Approved 2022 Capital Budget and 2023-2031 Capital Plan by converting already approved future year cost estimates and increasing project costs and cashflow commitments in order to support the engineering services required for the delivery of planned 2024-2026 Watermain, Sewer and Water Service Replacement projects, scheduled to be awarded ahead of schedule in late 2022.
