  1. The Waters Montgomery, AL Case Study

  2. Project Summary • Location – Montgomery, AL • Acreage – 1,250 acres • Units – 2,500 residential units • Product Type - Traditional Neighborhood Community surrounding a 200 acre community lake. • Master Plan – Eight (8) distinct Hamlets (i.e. stand-alone communities), including approximately 350 residential units and commercial uses each. • Topography – Gently rolling • Soil – Prairie gumbo clay

  3. Project Summary • First Hamlet – Lucas Point: • 350 units, including approximately 60 live/work units and 45 commercial units. • Home Prices - $150,000 to over $1 million • Projected Sales Absorption – 4 years

  4. Considerations • Public sewer is not available • Cost prohibitive to extend public sewer • Minimize upfront capital investment, and spread cost over life of project. • Maximize economic return by providing project design flexibility; offering multiple products and price points. • Highest and best use achieved through clustered development with substantial open space (conservation development) • Professional operation, maintenance and customer service

  5. Solution • Collection System – site topography allows for individual STEG versus STEP systems • Treatment - Recirculating Sand/Gravel Filter; built in phases • Disposal • Drip Irrigation – built in phases • Storage Pond – reduce drip irrigation installation costs and land application area.

  6. Ownership & Management • Once system is constructed and approved, ownership of facility and fee simple ownership in treatment site is transferred to Utility as “Contribution In-Aid” (non-taxable transaction). Developer maintains fee simple ownership of disposal area, and provides Utility with non-exclusive easement. • Utility will own, operate and maintain system in perpetuity. (includes individual and central system components ) • Utility is certified as wastewater system operator by the State of Alabama Department of Public Health • Utility provides performance bond to the State Health Department and evidence of financial viability to the Public Service Commission

  7. Developer Benefits • Turn-key solution • Minimize upfront capital cost • Operating Utility company assumes liability • Operating Utility is regulated and financially viable • Ability to re-use treated effluent for community irrigation • Development flexibility through multiple price points and product offerings • Value created by optimization of open space • Proven technology
