Capital Improvement

LOTT invests in capital projects, to help preserve and protect public health, the environment, and water resources while providing wastewater management and reclaimed water production services for the urbanized area of north Thurston County. LOTT's current facilities include a central treatment plant, two reclaimed water plants, three pump stations, and miles of major interceptor sewer lines.

Asset Management

The Asset Management Program includes long-range planning, life-cycle costing, proactive operations and maintenance, and capital replacement plans based on cost-benefit analyses. The use of Asset Management protects valuable facilities and extends financial resources by:

• Making sure components are protected from premature failure through proper operations and maintenance
• Facilitating proactive capital improvement planning and implementation over longer cycles to reduce overall costs
• Reducing the cost of new or planned investments through economic evaluation of options using life-cycle costing and value engineering
• Focusing attention on results by clearly defining responsibility, accountability, and reporting requirements within the organization

Budget and Capital Improvements Plan

The Budget and Capital Improvements Plan (CIP) is updated annually based on system performance measurements, predicted capacity needs, equipment replacement and system improvement needs.
