Hazenand Sawyer | City of Nashua — Integrated Plan
Nashua has developed an Integrated Plan Framework (IPF)
and has developed a Dynamic Sewer Rate Model to comply
with its Consent Decree with the US Environmental Protection
Agency:
¢ Prioritizes over 40 capital projects that best address the
most pressing system needs as determined by Nashua
using City-developed criteria. IPF includes all capital
projects linked to a Dynamic Sewer Rate Model
developed for the City by Consultant (Hazen).
¢ Defers capital projects that are determined to have fewer
benefits for similar investment costs.
¢ IPF smooths the “cost curve’ and can mitigate future rate
increases.
