17.2 Key Issues
The following key issues are associated with the Springfield Stormwater Scheme. A list of district wide issues are located in 5Waters Activity Management Plan: Volume 1.

17.3 Overview & History
Springfield is located on SH73 near the foot hills. Stormwater is disposed of to roadside soakholes. Soakholes are maintained by roading however a stormwater budget line exists for Environment Canterbury compliance and consenting.

17.4 Resource Consents
Council have applied for a global consent for the Springfield stormwater network (Table 17-2). The application is in progress with ECan.

17.5 Integrated Stormwater Management Plan
An integrated stormwater management plan has been prepared for Sprinfield and submitted to ECan (June 2017), as part of the application for CRC186176.
17.6 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. Swale (Grassed) – Is a longitudinal open channel which is lined with grass. The swale both conveys and treats stormwater.
b. Infiltration basin – is a stormwater management device which is used to store, treat and dispose of stormwater to the ground via soakage.
c. Soakholes – Are used to dispose of stormwater to ground in areas where the ground water table is low and soil permeability is high.
A summary of material and diameter for channels and pipes is shown in Figures 17-3 and 17-4 below.

17.7 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.
17.8 Photos of Main Assets
There were no photos available for this scheme.
17.9 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 17-3 shows the predicted flooding for Springfield.

17.10 Risk Assessment
A risk assessment has been undertaken for the Springfield 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 17‑3 details the risk priority rating and Table 17‑4 outlines the risks for this scheme.
Table 17‑3 Risk Priority Rating
> 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. |

The list of district wide risks can be found in 5Waters Activity Management Plan: Volume 1.
17.11 Asset Valuation Details
The total replacement value of assets within the Springfield Scheme is $41,399 as detailed in Table 17‑5 below.

Stormwater Reticulation | Channel | $41,399

17.12 Renewals
The renewal profile has been taken from the 2019 5 Waters Valuation. There are no renewals scheduled for this scheme.
17.13 Critical Assets
The criticality model for Springfield 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 17‑6 and Figure 17‑6 below show the calculated criticality for all of the assets within this scheme that have a recorded known length.

17.14 Asset Condition
The asset condition model was run for Springfield in 2021. The methodology of the model can be found in 5Waters Activity Management Plan: Volume 1 and it provides details of how the model has been calculated for the reticulation assets (particularly pipes). Figure 17‑7 below shows the level of asset condition for all of the assets within this scheme that have a recorded known condition.
Table 17‑7 provides a description of the condition rating used within the condition model.

17.15 Funding Program
The 10 year budgets are shown by Table 17‑8. Budgets are split into expenditure, renewals, projects and capital projects. Expenditure and renewals have been reported on a district-wide basis in Volume 1.
All figures are ($) not adjusted for CPI “inflation". They are calculated on historical data, and population growth where relevant.

An explanation of the categories within the budgets are as follows below:
-
Expenditure consists of operation and maintenance costs;
-
Renewals are replacement of assets which are nearing or exceeded their useful life;
-
Projects are investigations, decisions and planning activities which exclude capital works; and
-
Capital projects are activities involving physical works.
Table 17‑9 Key Projects
Capital Projects
| -
| Opening up of culvert - railway station; new structure e.g. scruffy dome
| $15,000
| -
| $50,000
| -
| 100% LoS
|
* Where LoS refers to Level of Service and G refers to Growth
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.
