The 2022-23 Proposed Budget for the Clean Water Capital and Technology Improvement Expenditure Program
(CTIEP) relates to current year funding as follows:

Amount % Change
2021-22 Adopted Budget 301,569,318

2022-23 Proposed Budget 369,021,000

Change from 2020-21 Budget $ 67,451,682 22.4%

The Clean Water CTIEP is administered by the Department of Public Works, Bureau of Sanitation and consists of
wastewater facility improvement projects at the City’s four wastewater treatment plants and 49 pumping plants, as
well as more than 6,700 miles of mainline sewers. The projects in the Clean Water CTIEP are divided into seven
categories: Collection Systems, Donald C. Tillman Water Reclamation Plant, Hyperion Water Reclamation Plant,
Los Angeles-Glendale Water Reclamation Plant, Pumping Plants, Terminal Island Water Reclamation Plant, and
System-wide improvements.

The Clean Water CTIEP is funded entirely from Clean Water System revenues, including the Sewer Service Charge
(SSC).

The current Clean Water CTIEP is focused on the ten-year Collection System Settlement Agreement (CSSA). The
CSSA is a consent decree that articulates specific requirements for the wastewater collection system with the
objective of reducing sewer spill risk and the associated overflow. While the ten-year term of the CSSA expired in
2014, the Bureau of Sanitation plans to continue to meet and exceed the terms of the CSSA in order to avoid future
liability and protect public health.

 Funding in the amount of $94.8 million is provided for the construction of various collection system projects;

 Funding in the amount of $53.8 million is provided for the development of an Advanced Wastewater Purification
Facility at the Donald C. Tillman Water Reclamation Plant in order to supply advanced treated recycled water

 Funding in the amount of $21.2 million is provided for the development of an Advanced Wastewater Purification
Facility at the Hyperion Water Reclamation Plant in order to supply advanced treated recycled water to the Los
