(iii) 15-20 years – for process equipment.
(iv) 10-15 years – for auxiliary equipment.
(2) The sewer facility is a primary intercepting or outfall sewer necessary to the integrity and performance of the wastewater disposal system serving the community.
(3) The sewer facility requires major rehabilitation or replacement to maintain its integrity and performance.
(4) The sewer serves the wastewater disposal needs of a significant portion of at least 2 separate units of local government or political jurisdictions.
(5) The sewer serves an area in excess of 2,000 acres and supports a population of not less than 15,000 people.
(6) The majority of the sewer’s length underlies a state or federal highway and threatens the use of such highway.
(7) The sewer’s collapse would threaten the safety and well-being of both the residential and transient population of the community.
(8) A sewer system evaluation survey has been completed which identifies the major rehabilitation need associated with the sewer facility.
