What's the Problem	What we plan to do
Costs of undertaking maintenance works in the township are high including clearing minor blockages	Continue to bundle work to get best value for money for the community.
Increased expectation from the community regarding level of service received from the stormwater network	Identify capacity restrictions in the system, design upgrades and budget for physical works.

7.3 Overview & History

The stormwater consists of a roadside network of open and piped drains which ultimately discharge to Surveyors Gully and the Selwyn River. The flood diversion channel at the campground requires regular inspection and cleaning if required.

7.5 Integrated Stormwater Management Plan

Environment Canterbury's Land and Water Regional Plan became operative on the 13th December 2018. Under policy 4.16, any reticulated stormwater system for an urban area requires a stormwater management plan. Additionally, from 1 January 2025, operators of reticulated stormwater systems will become responsible for the quality and quantity of all stormwater discharged from the reticulated stormwater system. The Glentunnel stormwater management plan was updated in April 2017 and submitted to ECan.

7.6 Scheme Assets

Council has a wide variety of stormwater assets within the district. A brief description of the assets within this scheme is provided below:

a. Reticulated network – Includes pipes, manholes, sumps. The primary purpose of the reticulated network is to collect and convey stormwater. Historically these systems were designed for the 2 year storm event. Today's engineering standards require the piped network to be designed for a 10 year event with overland flow provision for up to the 50 year event.

b. Flood diversion channel – is a large scale open drain designed to convey flood flows.

c. Swale (Grassed) – Is a longitudinal open channel which is lined with grass. The swale both conveys and treats stormwater.

A summary of material and diameter for channels and pipes, where known, is shown below in Figure 7‑3 and Figure 7‑4.

Figure 7‑3 Pipe Material - Glentunnel

Figure 7‑4 Pipe Diameter – Glentunnel

7.7 Operational Management

The stormwater network is operated and maintained under two maintenance contracts as follows:

Contract 1241: Water Services Contract. Contract is with SICON who undertakes investigations, conditions inspections, proactive and reactive maintenance and minor asset renewals.
Contract 1202: Parks and Reserves Contract. Contract is with SICON who undertakes the maintenance of land scape features related to water services e.g. mowing, gardens etc.

Water quality sampling is completed under an agreement with Food and Health Ltd as required.

7.8 Photos of Main Assets

Note: the flood diversion channel is required to be checked prior to Christmas each year to ensure protection during the holiday season.

7.9 Rapid Flood Modelling

The Council has undertaken 'Rapid Flood Hazard Assessment' modelling for its main townships. The modelling uses DHI MIKE 21 to simulate rainfall on grid with the outputs processed through ArcGIS producing maps illustrating a range of flood deeps during different rainfall intensities and durations.

The rapid flood assessment has been generated to provide a high level summary of potential flood and ponding areas across the district during extreme rainfall events. The results from this study are not to be used to set floor levels. The results have not been ground tested and therefore are indicative only.

For a 50 year event, Figure 7‑5 shows the predicted flooding for Glentunnel.

Figure 7‑5 Rapid Flood Modelling, Glentunnel

7.10 Risk Assessment

A risk assessment has been undertaken for the Glentunnel scheme. The key output from the risk assessment is the identification of any extreme and high risks which need to be mitigated. In order to mitigate these risks they have been included and budgeted for in the projects within this LTP. Table 7‑3 details the risk priority rating and Table 7‑4 outlines the risks for this scheme.

Renewal of this consent is budgeted under district projects.

Table 7‑3 Risk Priority Rating

Risk Score	Level of Risk	Risk Response
> 50	Extreme	Awareness of the event to be reported to Council. Urgent action to eliminate / mitigate / manage the risk. Document risk and action in the AMP.
35-50	Very High	Risk to be eliminated / mitigated / managed through normal business planning processes with responsibility assigned.
14-35	High	Manage risk using routine procedures.
3.5-14	Moderate	Monitor the risk.
< 3.5	Low	Awareness of the event to be reported to Council. Immediate action required to eliminate / mitigate / manage the risk. Document risk and action in the AMP.

Table 7‑4 Risks – Glentunnel

Risk	Action/Project	Year Identified	2014 Risk Rating	2017 Risk Rating	Residual Risk Rating
Drains on private property without easements	Review drainage scheme and requirements for easements	2014	9	9	9
Non-consented activities	Renewal of consents	2014	27	27	6

The list of district wide risks can be found in 5Waters Activity Management Plan: Volume 1.

7.11 Asset Valuation Details

The total replacement value of assets within the Glentunnel Scheme is $158,774 as detailed in Table 7‑5 below.

Table 7‑5 Replacement Value, Glentunnel

Asset Class 1	Asset Class 2	Sum of Replacement Value

	Manhole	$7,098
	Pipe	$77,928

7.12 Renewals

The renewal profile has been taken from the 2019 5 Waters Valuation. There are no renewals scheduled for this scheme.

7.13 Critical Assets

The criticality model for Glentunnel has been updated for the 2021 AcMP. The methodology of the criticality model can be found in 5Waters Activity Management Plan: Volume 1 and it provides details of how the criticality has been calculated for the reticulation assets. Table 7‑6 and Figure 7‑6 below show the calculated criticality for all of the assets within this scheme that have a recorded known length.

Table 7‑6 Length of Assets per Criticality Level

Criticality Bands		Length (m)
5	Low	1,568
4	Medium-Low	401
3	Medium	133
2	Medium-High	0
1	High	0

The list of district wide projects can be found in 5Waters Activity Management Plan: Volume 1.

Discussion on Projects

Projects have been determined based on their:

Relevance to the scheme
Requirement to be completed under legislation
Ability to bring the scheme up to or maintain the Level of Service required under council's Asset Management Policy.

Many projects are jointly funded by more than one scheme and activity. Each scheme pays a pro-rata share only, equivalent to the number of connections.

Discussion on Capital and Projects

Where relevant, Capital (Levels of Service) and Capital (Growth) projects have been included in the scheme financial details.

Levels of Service Projects and growth splits have been provided to ensure the costs of population driven works are clear.
