Introduction Urban Systems and GeoAdvice updated the City s master plan in 2015 Original plan was prepared in 1997 Main objectives of the update were to: Convert to a new software to allow for dynamic simulation Update and calibrate model Review most current growth projections Identify costs to address capacity deficiencies over 50 year planning horizon 3
Infrastructure Overview The City has: 572 km of gravity sewers 21 km of forcemains 34 lift stations 2 treatment plants 4

Modeling Tool Utilized to Evaluate Options and to Identify Likely Hydraulic Restrictions in the Sanitary System Computer Representation of the City of Kelowna, BC Sewer System using InfoSWMM Why? Predict how the system will perform under stress Predict how the system will perform in the future Evaluate options and return on investment before committing funds 6
InfoSWMM Software Innovyze GIS environment (ArcGIS) Open channel flow and pressurized flow Assumptions: Hydrograph Flow attenuation Pipe storage Dynamic simulation EPA SWMM Version 5.0 Convert existing InfoSewer model to InfoSWMM 7
GIS vs. Model GIS Geospatial database with coordinates Polygons, lines and points Facility general locations Access to other data sets Model Manhole, wet well, gravity main and pump Operational control rules and temporal variables Load area polygons and connectivity Model updated from GIS 8
Field Data Collection Validate System Loadings Estimate groundwater inflow Validate sanitary loads allocation and distribution Establish the 24-hour diurnal flow Review Peak Wet Weather Flow Assess Rainfall Dependent Inflow and Infiltration Calibrate/Validate the Model Enhance Understanding of the System High Value for Minimal Investment 9
Field Data Collection Program 7 sites monitored throughout collection system for approx. 2 months 10
Model Development Import/Update InfoSewer Model: Allow for dynamic analysis Add about 70 km of new sanitary mains Loading Assumptions: Metered Parcels: City consumption records Unmetered Parcels: Rates adjusted to match Raymer flow records SF Residential Growth: 250 L/d/cap, MF Residential Growth: 230 L/d/cap ICI Growth: 150 L/d/cap Special cases: Kelowna General Hospital and YLW I&I Assumptions: Pipes within water table: 8,000 L/ha/day Pipes above water table: 5,000 L/ha/day 11
Model Calibration Confidence: Demonstrate the model s ability to reproduce existing conditions. Understanding: Confirm the understanding of the performance of the system. Trouble Shooting: Uncover missing information and misinformation or anomalies about the system. 12

Model Calibration Limitations Sources of errors Input data errors System loading errors Elevation errors Operational control errors Poorly calibrated measuring equipment Outdated data 15
Modeling Lessons Learned -1- Model = Approximation of real world Dynamic simulation provides significantly more accurate results than that of steady-state simulation Most work involves data collection/checking GIGO: Garbage In = Garbage Out Good calibration leads to good decisions Always check modeling results to make sure they are reasonable Informed decisions save time and money 16
Modeling Lessons Learned -2- Modeler will interact with Senior Management Operations Engineering Planning Do you have these parties identified? 17
Modeling Lessons Learned -3- Modeling Practice Data Entry Frequent checking Trial runs to show major data entry errors Plan runs before you make them Try different scenarios and alternatives Keep good records Modeling Standards Modeling is an Iterative Process 18
