Model Documentation Report
Summary of process used to structure data for
Town of Selma, North Carolina
Sewer Lifecycle Model
July 2023
A. Introduction
This document lists the tasks performed to prepare Town of Selma's Sewer Lifecycle Models in
Capital Predictor software using the Town's GIS data and WithersRavenel's subject matter
experts involved in Selma's AIA project. Separate lifecycle models were built for the different
components of the Town's sewer system which include water mains and lift stations as their GIS
datasets are separate as well as the treatment that's applied to each.
B. Preparing your Data
We utilized the Town's GIS data to model the assets within the Town's sewer system.
WithersRavenel requested that additional data be added to the Town's GIS that was required to
develop an accurate model within Capital Predictor. Those new data fields are listed below.
Sewer Mains
• INFT - Calculated by multiplying the length of the pipe by diameter. The estimated
treatment costs are based on In*ft measurements therefore the estimated cost to treat
each pipe is unit cost multiplied by In*ft.
• Rehab_Type - The last rehab treatment that was performed on the main.
• PropCDBGYr - The proposed year to rehab the main using CDBG funding.
• Condition - Condition of the pipe was estimated based on the pipe's material and
diameter. For gravity mains, the following criteria was used to determine condition:
Primary Method
Secondary Method
Condition
CCTV Analysis
GIS Analysis
Failed
Assets that have failed and are no longer contributing to the system
Poor
Grade 4 or Grade 5
Material: VCP and
Structural Defect Observed
Diameter: Less than 8-inch, Greater than 12-inch
Fair
Grade 2 or Grade 3
Material: CONC, VCP and
Structural Defect Observed
Diameter: 8-inch, 10-inch, and 12-inch
Good
Grade 1 Structural Defect
Material: CONC, DIP, PVC, RCP, TRUSS and
Observed
Diameter: Less than 8-inch, Greater than 12-inch

For force mains, the following criteria was used to determine condition:
Condition
GIS Analysis
Failed
Assets that have failed and are no longer contributing to the system
Poor
Material: VCP and Diameter: 8-inch and 10-inch
Fair
Material: VCP and Diameter: 2 to 6-inch
Good
Material: DIP and PVC and Diameter: 8-inch and 10-inch
Excellent
Material: DIP and PVC and Diameter: 2 to 6-inch
Cond-No. - Scale from 1-5 based on the mains Condition rating. (5 - Excellent, 4 - Good,
3 - Fair, 2 - Poor, 1 - Failed)
Lift Stations
Age - The age of the lift station based on the construction year.
Expected -Life - The estimated life expectancy for each lift station.
• Remaining Life - Calculated by subtracting the age from the life expectancy then dividing
by the life expectancy to determine the percentage of remaining life that asset has
remaining before it reaches end of life.
C. Establish the Unit of Measure
The Unit of Measure is a foundational metric whereby the value of the assets is calculated. For
Selma's sewer mains the line's calculated "In*ft", which is the pipe's length multiplied by the
diameter, is used as the unit of measure as these treatment costs are based on length and
diameter of the pipe.
For lift stations, a value of 1 is entered as the unit of measure as a predetermined estimated cost
is added to Capital Predictor as the Treatment Unit Cost for each individual lift station.
D. Establish Expected Lives
Life Expectancy and Condition are factors of deterioration rates and thereby a key element in a
life cycle model as it influences when assets will be replaced. For Selma, using Life Expectancy or
Condition was determined by the data available. A life expectancy of 20 years was given to all
lift stations and the following life expectancies are estimated based on the main's pipe material.
Sewer Main Material
Expected Life
Asbestos Cement
75 years
Cast Iron

E. Treatment
We ran a "run to failure" model which predicts the end of life for each asset and then calculates
the replacement costs of all assets due for replacement each year. Each model was uniquely
configured and the treatments for each model are highlighted below.
The Sewer Mains model has the following treatments, rehab gravity main, replace gravity main,
replace force, and then treatments for CDBG funding for 2025, 2028, and 2031. The estimated
cost to rehab a gravity main is $22 per inch*foot which includes the cost to rehab the manhole as
well. To replace a gravity main, the estimated cost is $25 per inch*foot. The estimated cost to
replace a force main is $21 per inch*foot.
The Lift Station model has one treatment for replace lift station which is based on the life
expectancy of the main. The estimated cost to replace a lift station differs between each
location. The following replacement costs were used for each lift station:
Lift Station Name
Estimated Replacement Cost
King Circle
$600,000
Jones and Massey
$600,000

F. Treatment Criteria
The established Treatment Criteria is what triggers the asset for treatment in the model. The
Treatment Criteria set up for Selma's sewer model is based on the asset's remaining life or
condition.
For the Sewer Mains model, the model will trigger a Rehab for Gravity Mains when the main
reaches Poor or worse condition and only if the main has not yet been lined or rehabbed
previously.

G. Proposed Upcoming CDBG Projects
We incorporated potential upcoming CDBG funded projects in the model to account for that
additional funding and to see how those projects would impact the overall condition of Selma's
sewer system along with how it would impact the annual recommended budget.
Displayed below are the three proposed CDBG projects for years 2025, 2028, and 2031. A
estimated budget of $3 million was allocated towards each project.

H. Service State based on Age and Condition
Another key factor in a Life Cycle Model is the Service State of the asset, often expressed in
terms of Condition. Capital Predictor utilizes a standardized 0 to 6 Service State to assign where
assets are on their lifecycle degradation curve. Two degradation curves were selected, one to
represent the remaining life of the asset, and the other to represent condition.
The Generic Life Cycle Profile was selected for Selma's remaining life degradation profile to
illustrate that their assets degrade evenly over time. The following breakpoints (labeled Native
Scale below) have been assigned to those standardized ranges based on the asset's remaining
life. This degradation profile was used in the Lift Stations model.

Model Results Narrative
Selma, NC Sewer Models
July 2023
A. Introduction
The Life Cycle Model created for Selma's Sewer System utilized the Town's GIS data which
contains condition and/or estimated life expectancy. A technical explanation of how this data
was used to develop the model may be found in the accompanying Model Documentation
Report.
Separate models were built for each component of the systems and the following Model
Scenarios (aka Simulations) were created:
Sewer Mains
1. No Funding
2. $100,000
3. $100,000 w/$10K increase
4. $100,000 w/$50K increase
5. Calibration
Lift Stations
1. No Funding
2. $250,000
3. $250,000 w/$25K increase
4. Calibration
These budget scenarios are preliminary and may be subject to change. The sewer mains
scenarios were carried out for a 100 year timeframe to account for their lengthy life span,
whereas lift stations were carried out for a 50 year timeframe. The Calibration budget is used for
the purposes of calibration and shows the model results as if there were no caps on available
funding.
B. Overview of Results
Sewer Mains
The simulation called $100,000 w/$10K increase was determined to be an effective model as it
keeps up with the costs to maintain and replace over the next 100 years. The light blue
represents unlimited funding which shows there's a $3.4 million backlog of mains that are either
due or past due for treatment. By allocating $100,000 and increasing that budget by $10,000
each year (teal) the model indicates that it is able to keep up with recommended treatments and
chip away at that backlog over the next 100 years.
One thing to note for Sewer Mains is there are 56 gravity mains that exceed the budget of
$100,000 to rehab or replace, as well as 10 force mains that exceed the budget to replace. The
model must reserve unused funds over time to treat accordingly.

Figure 1 Simulation Comparison comparing the Sewer Main overall service state over 100 years given each budget scenario.
Lift Stations
The simulation called $250,000 w/$25K increase was determined to be an effective model as it
keeps up with the costs to replace lift stations over the next 50 years. The light blue represents
unlimited funding which shows a backlog of $3.4 million of lift stations that are past their
expected life. By allocating $250,000 and increasing by $25,000 each year (yellow) the model is
reserving unused funds to replace accordingly in upcoming years. Using this budget strategy, the
backlog is eliminated by year 18.

C. Calibration
Calibration of the model was conducted to validate that the model triggers the expected
treatments without any budget caps in place. All models were validated with the Calibration
model and then additional budget scenarios were run.
D. Treatment Costs
Predictor utilizes an optimization engine that selects the treatment of each asset based on the
estimated life expectancy and/or condition data provided. The below charts show the
recommended treatment costs required over the 40 year period for each model with no budget

It is encouraged to continue to evaluate your asset data and to continue to keep it updated in
Capital Predictor. We also encourage the Town to explore additional budget scenarios to
determine the optimal amount to maintain the sewer system at the desired service state.
We encouraged you to continue to work with the life cycle model, continue to collect asset data,
and to consult with WithersRavenel Consultants to further refine your models, create additional
scenarios, enhance reporting and similar activity. The goal is to integrate the life cycle model into
the Town's capital planning process.

Town of Selma Sewer CIP and Financial Analysis Study
Introduction
The Town of Selma (Town) engaged WithersRavenel to create a long-term capital and financial plan for its
Sewer Fund, as part of its Asset Inventory and Assessment (AIA). This plan is utilized to evaluate and enhance
decision making and to ensure there is sufficient funding for the program's needs. This report documents
the resultant findings and analysis with future revenue projections.
The sewer utility was established in the 1960s and currently serves a population of approximately 3,000.
The Town directs wastewater to the Johnston County collection system that treats flow at the Central
Johnston County Regional Wastewater Facility and discharges into the Neuse River. The Town operates the
sewer fund as a separate self-supporting enterprise, with revenues and expenditures accounted for
separately from its General and Water funds.
WithersRavenel assisted the Town in creating and prioritizing its Capital Improvements Plan (CIP) and
reviewed the order and timing in which projects should occur. In addition to the CIP, the analysis addresses
financing and future sewer revenue needs for the Town of Selma. In conducting this study, WithersRavenel
examined usage projections and projected the financial impact changes would have on the fund and its
users. The following objectives were identified for the study:
• Assist the Town with creating a 10-year CIP for the sewer fund and summarize capital funding
assumptions.
• Create a 10-year financial analysis of the fund.
• Determine the adequacy of existing charges to recover current and future operating and capital costs.
• Assess the implications of projected financial trends for user rates, reserves, and fund balances.
Certain assumptions have been made with respect to conditions that may occur in the future. While these
assumptions are reasonable for the purposes of this study, they are dependent upon future events and
actual conditions may differ from those assumed. In addition, information has been used and relied upon
which has been provided by others. This information includes, among other things, audited financial
statements and annual operating budgets. While this information is deemed reliable, the information has not
been independently verified and no assurances are offered with respect thereto. To the extent that actual
future conditions differ from those assumed herein or provided by others, the actual results may differ from
those anticipated.
This analysis addresses revenue requirements, the financial analysis, the CIP summary, debt service
requirements and packages, and presents findings and conclusions.

Revenue Requirement
The revenue requirement for the sewer fund consists of the costs required to assure the adequacy and
continuity of safe and reliable services, and includes costs associated with operations, maintenance,
financing of capital improvements, and replacement of facilities. The determination of the fund's revenue
requirements was made in a manner consistent with standard accounting and American Water Works
Association (AWWA) utility rate -making principles. The revenue requirement for the system consists of the
following cost components:
• Operating Expenses: The operation costs, equipment, utilities, sewer treatment costs, purchased
services, and other expenses necessary to operate the system and maintain the facilities. Also included
are the costs incurred from staffing the system. These costs consist of items such as salaries, retirement
programs, insurance plans, and other benefits for the employees.
• Capital Outlay: One-time expenses paid with available funds to purchase items such as equipment,
facility improvements, and additions.
• Debt Service: The annual payments of principal and interest to pay back funds used for past finance
capital projects.
The total of all the above items is the required revenue for the fund and is shown in the following table for
the last audited fiscal year, FY 2022. These figures serve as the basis for helping project the financial status
of the fund in the future.

Financial History
In conducting the financial analysis, the Town's audited financial statements from FY 2018 through FY 2022
were compiled along with the Year -to -Date and Budget reports for FY 2023 and FY 2024. Non -recurring
capital outlays were separated from other expenditures to ensure the costs used for projections were
consistent with prior years. Historical trends for each of the line items were analyzed to anticipate how each
revenue and expenditure would change over the next ten (10) years. As shown in Chart 2, the sewer fund
revenues have exceeded their expenditures before accruals two (2) of the past five (5) years. The three (3)
years of losses were primarily due to increases in sewer treatment charges.

Unrestricted Net Assets have declined during the three (3) years of losses but increased in FY 2022 when
the weather was dry, yielding less Infiltration Inflow and sewer treatment charges. Details are shown in

After discussions with Town staff, it is assumed that investment income will approximate $25,000,
exceeding its FY 2024 budget of $7500 as their year-end FY 2023 total was $23,115. In future years, Town
staff concur that sewer revenues will increase by an average annual rate of 1.5%. Other operating revenues
are expected to increase by 1.5%. This growth rate is a prudent adjustment of the North Carolina Office of
State Budget and Management County growth rate, which projects Johnston County's annual population
growth of 3%. Salaries and benefits are projected to increase by an average annual rate of 6% and other
operating costs are expected to increase by an average annual rate of 4-5%.

Capital Improvements Plan
The Capital Improvements Plan reflects the fund's planned capital improvements for the next ten (10) years.
Discussions with Town staff led to the update of the Town's CIP, which includes projects of various priorities
totaling approximately $16.8 million. As illustrated in Table 4, there are 22 sewer improvement projects
proposed for the fund through FY 2034. Due to the financial hardships that these projects may place upon
the fund, the analysis assumes that each improvement is planned to be paid for by grant funds, capital outlay
/ paygo cash in a specific fiscal year or by new debt issuance resulting in annual debt service payments. It is
assumed that the Town will pursue grant funds to pay for $9 million of projects, utilize paygo / cash for $4.3
million of projects, and issue debt for the remaining $3.46 million. The yearly costs exceed $1 million during
some years, which may place pressure upon the fund budget. The largest projects include:
• $9 million for Rehabilitation and Replacements.
• $956,000 for King Circle Lift Station replacement.
• $717,000 for School House Lift Station replacement.
• $536,000 for Selma Trailer Park Lift Station replacement.

Debt Service Requirements
The sewer fund has four (4) outstanding debt obligations in FY 2024. One (1) installment loan will mature in
FY 2024 and a Water fund repayment will mature in FY 2027. The remaining two (2) loans issued by the
USDA will continue beyond the ten-year planning period to FY 2050. The installment and water loan
maturities reduce the annual debt service payments from approximately $189,000 in FY 2024 to
approximately $74,000 in FY 2028. Consequently, some financial capacity will become available to the fund.
A summary of the existing debt packages is shown in Table 5.

To maintain a positive net income with large capital improvement projects, the analysis assumes that funds
will be acquired using borrowed capital. The remaining yearly capital requirements will be paid by cash
outlays and grants. Annual average cash outlay thereafter is expected to be approximately $416,000. The
planned method to finance the improvements in the CIP is shown in the following table:

When including the debt package into the fund's financial analysis, it was concluded that the net income will
remain positive over most of the next ten (10) years. Furthermore, net income will abide by General Statue
159-181, which states that net income should not be negative for three (3) or more consecutive fiscal years.

Financial Analysis
Each of the columns in the financial model shown in Table 7 represents the Town's sewer fund revenues
and expenditures for a specific fiscal year. Revenues and expenditures from past audited years appear in
columns on the left side of the table, with adjacent columns on the right showing projections for the current
fiscal year and ten (10) additional years thereafter. Each row in the table shows a revenue or expense line
item from the audit and/or projections. Revenues are listed at the top of the table followed by operating
expenses, capital outlays, and debt payments.
Several notable line items are highlighted in yellow including capital outlay, debt, and new revenue sources.
Also highlighted is each fiscal year's net income or loss followed by projected Unrestricted Net Position.
Highlighted in blue is the adjusted forecast of interest income for FY 2024. The proposed sewer revenue
increases for the next ten (10) years are also highlighted in the table. These increases are high enough to
yield feasible operations for the funds yet not so high as to create excessive Unrestricted Net Position or
Cash balances.

MTOTALOPERATING EXPENDITURES CAPITAL OUTLAY EXISTING DEBT ANEW DEBT -TOTAL REVENUES
As discussed next, the current rates charged by the sewer fund are high enough to yield feasible operations
but may not be adequate for funding future increases in operating costs and capital needs.
Page 14

Town of Selma Sewer CIP and Financial Analysis Study
Outcomes
As a result of WithersRavenel's analysis, the following sewer revenue increases have been modeled to plan
for inflation and capital needs. The sewer increases are based upon all fixed and volume charges but not tap
or other miscellaneous charges. These increases, as shown below, are arranged over time to minimize the
impact to most users yet address the need for more revenue.
• FY 2025 - 2027 6% annual increases in sewer revenues.
• FY 2028 - 2034 5% annual increases in sewer revenues.
The increases will help strengthen unrestricted net position and fund large capital needs and operating costs,
while considering growth in sewer usage. It is worth mentioning that if the increases are generated from
higher rates, an increase in sewer revenue requires a greater increase in rates due to the price elasticity of
demand. When rates increase, customers' usage slightly decreases. However, the revenue loss from the
lower sewer usage is less than the revenue gained from higher rates. Consequently, rate increases generate
more revenue for the program but the percentage increases in rates must exceed the percentage increases
in required revenues.
Page 15

Town of Selma Sewer CIP and Financial Analysis Study
Conclusions
Based upon the analysis, the sewer fund recovers its system costs through current revenues and has grown
its unrestricted net position and cash levels. However, current sewer revenues will not be enough to support
future increases in operating costs and planned capital projects. The estimated annual revenue increases will
prepare for the phase -in of additional debt service payments, and operating and capital costs associated
with the CIP. The Town should consider the issuance of debt for the long-term financing of capital
improvements. This would allow debt service payments to be spread over a longer period to avoid rate shock
for current customers. Additionally, it allows future customers, who will benefit from the improvements, to
pay a fair share of the costs. Furthermore, it should consider the implementation of structural changes to
rates to ensure they continue to be fair, equitable, and easy to understand and implement.
The increases are estimated from the current fiscal year's data and projections of future events. If net income
declines due to several risks, rates may need to increase further to replace the lost revenue. The risks include,
but are not limited to, the following:
• Declines in usage and tourism due to new COVID-19 outbreaks.
• Sewer flow decline due to higher fees.
• Operating costs increasing at unsustainable levels, exceeding those projected.
• Higher than projected CIP cost estimates.
• Rising interest rates or unobtainable funding.
Due to the multiple risks facing the Town, it is recommended that the Town continues to review the
assumptions and calculations regularly using updated information to determine if adjustments are required
at that time to meet established financial objectives.

Law 9M00 and Public Law 95-217. Said charges and fees
shall be determincd in a inanner consistent with the
regulations of the grant programs that have benefited the town
and its industrial users. User charge shall be a charge levied
on all users including, but not limited to, persons, firms,
corporations, or governmental entities that discharge, cause or
perinit the discharge of sewage into the tomi's wastewater
facilities. Each user shall pay its proportionate share of
operation and maintenance (including replacement) costs
based on volume of flow. Eaeh user shall be notified at least
annually in conjunction with a regular bill of the rate and that
portion of (lie user charge which is attributable to operation
and maintenance of tine wastewater facilities. All industries
using the tours treatment works are subject to industrial
waste surcharges on discharges whose characteristic exceed
(lie limits set out in Section 16-362 for certain pollutants.
(Ord. of 1219/80, Div. 8, § 1---§ 13.34,650)
46. Classification of users.
(a) All users are to be classified by the town either by
assigning each on to a "user classification" category according
to the principal activity conducted on the user's premises, by
individual user analyzation, or by a combination thereof. The
purpose of such collective and/or individual classification is to
facilitate the regulation of wastewater discharges based on
wastewater constituents and characteristics to provide an
ef>`eclive means of source control, and to establish a system of
charges and fees which will insure an equitable recovery of the
toast's cost.
(b) Users are classed as nonindustrial and industrial as
foltows:
(1) An industrial user is any user which meets the
definition of an industry, as defined in Division I with the
definition of domestic strength waste for exclusion purposes
as follows:

BOD5
220 ing/l
T. suspended solids
220 mg/1
Ammonia nitrogen
25111gll
Oil and grease
50 mg/l
PH
6-9 ing/l
• No heavy metals, toxicants, etc.
• Hydraulic loading allowance of no greater
than twenty gpd per employee.
(2) A nonindustrial user is a user who does not
meet the qualifications of an industrial user.
(Ord. of 1.2/9180, Div. 8, §2--§ 13-34,655)
47. Types of charges and fees.
The charges and fees as established in the town's

0) Pees for extra monitoring, i.e., that which
requires costs above the average cost of assessing an average
or representative analysis;
(4) Fees far permit applications;
(5) Appeal fees;
(6) Charges and fees based on hydraulic load and
ivasteivater constituents and characteristics;
(7) Industrial waste surcharges;
(8) Ad valorem lax; and
(9) Industrial cost recovery payments (if required
by federal regulations).
(Ord. of 1219/80, Div. 8, §3—§ 13.34.660)
48. Basis for determination of surcharges,
(a) Charges and fees shall be based upon a minimum

wastewater from a domestic premises Wntli the characteristics
as given under subsection (b)(1) of Section 16-362,
(b) The charges and fees for all classifications of users
other than the domestie premises shall be based on the relative
difference between the average wastewater constituents and
characteristics of that classification as related to those of
domestic premises.
(c) The charges and fees established for pennit users
shall be based upon the measured or estimated constituents
and characteristics of the wastewater discharge of that user
which may include, but not be limited to, BOD, COD,
suspended solids, ammonia nitrogen, oil and grease, d9orine
demand, and volume.
(Old_ of 1219/80, Div. 8, §4—§ 13.34-660)
49. Method of determining surcharges.
The charge for excesses of the constituents listed in
Section 16-363 will be based upon the "mass emission rate"
of those constituents and detennined as follows:
(1) Mass Emission Irate formula is as follows:
MER () = MG x C x 8.34
«Bete: MER is the &Ess emission rate
in pounds of a particular
constituent, and
MG is lice millions n,f a� of
wastewater discharged, and
C is the concentration in tng11 of
the particular constituent being
charged for (for example:
BOD. SS, ammonia nitrogen,
COD, etc.), and
8.34 is equal to the number of
ounds/one gallon of water
(2) The amount of the charge in dollars mill be
calculated as Ao = R x MCR ()
where; Ao is equal to the amount of rite
charge in dollars, and
R is equal to (lie rate ofchar&
per pound otconstiluent, and
MF.R () is equal to the ids
of a constituent.
(Ord. of 12/9/80, Div. 8, §5—§ 13.34.670)
50. Method of determining charge rates.
(a) The town council shall review annually the sewage
contribution of users, the total costs of operation and
maintenance (including replacement) of the wastewater
facilities, and the user charge system. The town council shall
revise the user charges, if necessary, to accomplish the
follo«ing:
(1) Maintain the proportionate distribution of
operation and maintenance costs among users as provided in
this chapter; and
(2) Generate sufficient revenue to pay the total
operation and maintenance costs necessary for the proper
operation and maintenance (including replacement) of the
wastewater facilities. The adjustments, if any, will become
effective following llte first day of each new fiscal year, The
town council may review these rates and adjust them
accordingly at any time it deems adjustments are in the best
interest of the town.
(b) All flow to the wastewater facilities not directly
attributable to Elie users (i.e., infiltrationfin low) shall be

distributed among all users of the wastewater facilities based
upon file volunte of flow of the users or on the basis of an
equal assessment per each user, at the discretion of the town
cotulcil.
(Ord. of I2/9180, Div. 8, §fir—§ 13.34.675)
51, Sampling procedures and analysis.
(a) All samples acid determinations of wastewater
characteristics shall be as representative of the waste
discharge as possible. The costs of regular sampling and
analysis will be included in the charges and fees. The town
may take additional samples after a significant process change
Which significantly affects the quantity or strength of the
wastewaters discharged. The frequency of sampling shall be
as follows:
MINIMUM REQUIRED
YEARLY FREQUENCY OF TESTS
CUMULATIVE FLOW FOR SURCHARGE
Million Gallons PARAMETERS
Less than 3.0
0-1 per year
3.0 to 6.0
1 per year
6.0 to 9.0
1 every 6 months
9.0 to i2,0
1 every 5 months
12.010I5.0
1 every 4 months
15.0 to 18.0
1 every 3 months
Over 18.4
1 per month
More frequent sampling may be done at any time at the
option of the town.
(b) Upon requests by tite user concerned, cite town shall
make available split samples of the composite sample
collected, if the user feels the results are not representative of
their wastes, the town may resample at the actual cost to the
town.
