Neshaminy Interceptor Service Area (I/I line items)
LMT owns approximately 210,717 linear feet of sanitary sewer mains and 1,250 manholes in the Neshaminy Interceptor (BCWSA) service area. The following is a break out of how much we can do each year using the annual I/I budget for the Neshaminy Interceptor:

lining/Repairs- $175,000 per year. This amount allows to line approximately 1,750 linear feet of pipe per year. This amount to 0.83% of the system per year (1,750/210,757).
Total-$200,000 per year (adjusted annually for inflation)
Our current estimates indicate that roughly 25% of our system would need these type repairs or lining. That translates to a 30-year period, under this funding scenario, to complete that portion of the system.
Morrisville Municipal Authority Service Area (I/I line items)
LMT owns approximately 540,909 Linear feet of sanitary sewer mains (217,023 (Above Yardley) + 323,886 (Below Yardley) and 3,100 manholes in the Morrisville Municipal Authority service area.

2,150 linear feet of pipe per year. This amount to 0.40% of the system per year (2,150/540,909).
Total-$250,000 per year (adjusted annually for inflation)
Our current estimates indicate that roughly 25% of our system would need these types of repairs or lining. That translates to a period of sixty-two (62) years, under this funding scenario, to complete that portion of the system. Our 7-year plan outlines this same level of improvement each year. In all likelihood, especially in this MMA area, the amount of lining undertaken will need to be increased dramatically.
