2.0 INTRODUCTION
2.1
General
The Borough of Bloomingdale’s water system Asset Management Plan (AMP) facilitates the
integration of economics, engineering, management, social, and environmental effects to
optimize asset performance. The goal of asset management is to provide recommendations for
operating the assets, mitigate the risk of failure, and ensure that assets are managed in a cost-
effective manner. The AMP will improve the long-term sustainability and quality of the
Borough’s water supply system.
2.2
Scope
The scope of this AMP is the prioritized replacement of existing infrastructure. This AMP is not
a vulnerability analysis or a hydraulic evaluation. The need for new infrastructure to reinforce
the existing infrastructure, e.g. for fire protection or to add redundancy, was not evaluated as
part of this AMP. Additionally, pipes that are under 2 inches in diameter are not included in the
scope this AMP.
2.3
Water Quality Accountability Act (WQAA)
The Borough of Bloomingdale’s AMP was developed to comply with the New Jersey Water
Quality Accountability Act (WQAA), found in N.J.S.A. 58:31-7. The WQAA requirements include
a 150-year replacement cycle for water mains and a maintenance and replacement program for
the water supply and treatment facilities. Lastly, the WQAA dictates the requirement that the
AMP be used to determine the highest priority assets and have the water provider dedicate
funds on an annual basis to address and remediate those assets. The WQAA also indicates
that a report (Capital Improvement Report) based on the AMP shall be prepared each year.
This report should identify the infrastructure improvements undertaken in the previous year, the
current year, and expected to be undertaken in the coming year.

3.0 WATER SYSTEM OVERVIEW
3.1
Ownership/Service Area/Customer Base
The Borough of Bloomingdale (Borough) owns and operates a public community water system.
The water system is licensed under the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection
(NJDEP) as PWSID No. 1601001.
The Borough’s water system includes approximately 2,550 service connections serving a
population of approximately 7,800 persons. The customer base is approximately 73%
residential (based on volume of water), with the remainder being commercial and industrial.
Most of the customers’ water meters are equipped with automated radio meter readers. There
is an antenna at the top of the Star Lake Tank that can pick up a large portion of the meters.
3.2
Service Area/Distribution System
The Borough’s water distribution system is comprised of approximately 26 miles of water main,
including approximately 1,694 feet of 2-inch pipe, 7,330 feet of 4-inch pipe, 39,697 feet of 6-inch
pipe, 69,992 feet of 8-inch pipe, 11,933 feet of 10-inch pipe, 8,564 feet of 12-inch pipe, and 358
feet of 16-inch pipe. Most of these water mains are located within the paved roadway, while
others are located in the public right-of-way but outside of the roadway or in easements. There
are approximately 219 fire hydrants and 653 water main valves in the water system, excluding
valves on fire hydrant branch lines and in buildings.
The oldest water mains in the Borough are located on Hamburg Turnpike near Main Street.
These water mains were installed in the early 1920’s. These water mains, along with several
other sections of water mains located throughout the Borough, are constructed of cast iron (CI)
pipe. CI pipe has been used throughout the world for several centuries and its service life is
well documented. The large wall thickness of CI pipe provides a buffer for corrosion before the
pipe fails. For the preparation of this AMP, a useful service life of 150 years (an average value)
was selected for CI pipe.
Approximately half of the Borough’s main water system was installed between 1950 and 1970.
Water mains installed during this period are composed of asbestos cement (AC) pipe. This type
of pipe was chosen by developers during the post-war housing boom due to its lower material
and installation costs, as compared to CI pipe.
Failure of AC pipe, also known as transite pipe, can be due to mechanical loading or corrosion
of the pipe wall. Aggressive water composition and soil characteristics contribute to corrosion-
related pipe failures. Corrosion-related failure rates increase linearly with age. However due to
the low failure rate observed by the Borough the soil conditions in the Borough are favorable to
the use of transite pipe.
The useful service life of AC pipe varies tremendously based on water characteristics and soil
conditions. Most technical papers list the useful service life of AC pipe as 40-70 years, though
some research indicates that AC pipe can last for more than 100 years in the right environment.
Bloomingdale’s water department has observed low failure rates of the AC pipe. This is most
likely due to the water and the soil conditions being optimal, which lead to generally longer
useful service life for AC pipe. Without the benefit of a detailed forensic analysis of the AC pipe
in various locations in the Borough, a useful service life of 85 years was selected for the

preparation of this AMP. This number can be refined for different areas of the Borough should
any detailed forensic analyses be conducted in the future.
The newest sections of the main water system are composed of ductile iron (DI) pipe. DI pipe
has similar properties to CI pipe but is also stronger and tougher. It is assumed that DI pipe in
the Brough is Class 52 thickness. Based on this, a useful service life of 150 years was selected
for DI pipe to match CI pipe.
The material and installation year of the water mains in the Borough’s main water system are
shown on Drawings AMP1 and AMP2, respectively.
3.3
Water Supply Source
The water system is supplied by an active interconnection with the Borough of Butler’s water
system. The active interconnection with the Borough of Butler is located on Hamburg Turnpike
at the intersection of Main Street. There are also emergency interconnections with both the
Borough of Butler and Passaic Valley Water Commission (PVWC). The Butler emergency
interconnection is located on Paterson Hamburg Turnpike near Macopin Road. The PVWC
interconnection includes a PVWC-owned pump station on Mathews Lane in Riverdale and a
valve near Brandt Lane in Bloomingdale. Drawing AMP1 shows the locations of the Borough’s
interconnections with the Borough of Butler and PVWC.
Water system demand, as recorded during the five-year period from 2018 to 2022 by the
Bloomingdale Water Department, is as follows:
•
Max Annual Average Daily Demand:
0.570 MGD (Last 5 years, 2018)
•
Average Daily Demand During Maximum Month:
0.683 MGD (Last 5 years, July 2018)
3.4
Water System Treatment
The water that is supplied to the Borough from the Borough of Butler is fully treated. No
additional treatment of the purchased water is needed before it is pumped into the distribution
system.
3.5
Water Storage Facilities and Booster Pumping Stations
The Bloomingdale water system includes one booster pump station. This pump station boosts
the pressure of the water supplied by the Borough of Butler at the interconnection so that it is
sufficient to fill the water storage tank and serve the Borough.
The water distribution system includes a water storage tank to provide water to meet peak
hourly demands as well as provide water for emergency demand conditions, including fire
protection and loss of water supply. The water storage tank is located off of Star Lake Road
(see Water Distribution System Facilities and Pipe Material, Drawing AMP1). The tank, with a
capacity of 0.5 MG, is a welded steel tank.

3.6
SCADA
The Borough utilizes Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) to monitor, record, and
control the operations of the water system. The Borough’s water system facilities communicate
through the use of a cellular data connection using the Verizon network.
3.7
Emergency Standby Power
The Borough maintains a diesel-fueled emergency portable generator for use at the Butler
booster pump station. The emergency portable generator is stored at the water tank when not
in use.

4.0 ASSET INVENTORY
4.1
General
The Borough’s water system contain millions of different components. While each of these
components is an asset, the failure of many of these components would have little or no impact
on the operation of the water system. However, there are certain major assets whose failure
would have a great impact on the operation of the respective water system. Additionally, major
assets are either expensive, not readily obtained, or are important for emergency situations.
Only major assets have been inventoried and included in this AMP.
4.2
Asset Inventory Organization
The assets were divided into two groups to facilitate analysis of each group and allow for
different grading criteria to be used for each group of assets. The two groups are facilities and
water mains/appurtenances.
4.2.1 Facilities
Facilities include booster pump stations, interconnections, and water storage tanks (see Table
1). The inventoried components of each facility include only the most important equipment and
structures at the respective facility.
4.2.2 Water Mains and Appurtenances
Water mains and appurtenances have been inventoried by surveying water system valves,
hydrants, and valve vaults. A Geographic Information System (GIS) database was created and
populated with the survey points of all water system appurtenances by DMC Associates, Inc.
Land Surveyors (DMC). The GIS database provided to H2M by DMC was updated based on
information obtained from the Bloomingdale Department of Public Works (DPW). The GIS
database of the water mains and appurtenances is maintained by the DPW. The Water
Distribution System Facilities and Pipe Material, Drawing AMP1 shows locations of the
inventoried water mains and appurtenances.

5.0 LEVEL OF SERVICE
5.1
Level of Service Overview
The Borough has anticipated the expected Levels of Service demanded by its customers in
order to set level of service goals and to characterize the importance of each asset component
to the day-to-day operation of the utility. The water utility is bounded in its Level of Service by
two criteria: the system must meet the requirements of State and Federal regulations (the
minimum level of service a system can provide) and the system cannot exceed the maximum
capabilities of the assets (the maximum level of service a system can provide.)
5.2
Level of Service Goals
The following Level of Service goals are established to prioritize the maintenance, repair, and
replacement of assets critical to the sustained performance of the water system:
1.) The Water System shall meet all State and Federal regulatory standards.
2.) The US EPA’s secondary standards related to aesthetics shall be met by the system.
3.) The Water Utility will strive to reduce complaints to fewer than 5 complaints per month.
4.) Complaints will be addressed within 24 hours of receipt 95% of the time.
5.) Under normal conditions, pressures will be maintained between 30 and 70 psi.
6.) Drought restrictions will be enacted whenever the source cannot meet daily demands.
7.) Customers will receive written notice 24 hours in advance of any planned interruption in
service.
8.) Planned interruptions will only occur between the hours of 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM
Monday through Friday 90% of the time.
9.) For unplanned interruptions, 15 minutes of notice prior to shut down will be provided,
unless there is a critical emergency.
10.) Service will be restored within 6 hours of shut down 90% of the time.
11.) Rates will be reviewed on an annual basis and raised as needed to ensure full cost
recovery.

6.0 ASSET RISK EXPOSURE ASSESSMENT CALCULATIONS
6.1
Overview
Asset Risk Exposure Assessment (AREA) provides a method to analyze assets and prioritize
the allocation of funds. The AREA generates a factor that ranges from 1 to 25. A score of 1
indicates that the asset has the lowest possible exposure risk and a score of 25 indicates
the highest possible exposure risk.
6.2
AREA Calculations for Facilities
Two factors are used to develop the AREA: Consequence of Failure (how important an asset is
to the system) and Probability of Failure (how likely the asset is to stop working). These two
factors are multiplied to obtain the AREA.
6.2.1 Consequence of Failure
The Consequence of Failure is composed of six categories, each given a rating between 1 and
5. A rating of 1 indicates that the asset has little or no impact on the respective category and a
rating of 5 indicates that the asset has a significant impact for that category. The six categories
are:
1. Importance to Facility: This is a measure of how important the asset is to the facility.
The rank assigned reflects the severity of the impact that the failure of the asset would
have on the facility. In this section, a rank of 1 would indicate that the asset’s failure
presents no impact to the facility’s function. A rank of 5 for this section indicates that the
asset’s failure would cause the facility to shut down until the asset was replaced.
2. Water Quality: This category indicates the affect an asset has on water quality. A rank
of 1 would indicate that there is no effect on water quality due to the asset failing. A rank
of 5 would indicate that failure of the asset would have a significant impact on water
quality.
3. Water Availability: This category indicates whether a failure of the asset would prevent
the facility from supplying water to the distribution system. A rank of 1 would indicate
that the facility would remain functional even if the asset failed and a rank of 5 would
indicate that the facility would not be able to supply water to the distribution system until
the asset was replaced.
4. Economy (cost of replacement): This category provides an indication of how the failure
of an asset would affect the economy of the area affected by the failure. A rank of 1
would indicate that the economy of the area served by the facility would not be impacted.
A rank of 5 would indicate that the economy of the area would be negatively impacted by
a failure of the asset.
5. Environmental: It is important to consider the environmental impact of asset failures.
This category determines the environmental impact of a failure. A score of 1 would
ASSET MANAGEMENT PLAN
BLOOMINGDALE WATER SYSTEM
H2M PROJECT NO.: BLMD2302
BLOOMINGDALE, NEW JERSEY
11
indicate no impact to the environment, while a score of 5 would indicate the need for
significant environmental clean-up due to the failure.
6. Consumer Trust: Consumer trust is one of the most important aspects of the Borough’s
water utility. Consumers are not always aware of how different assets impact a water
system and may only become aware of certain assets when there is publicity
surrounding a failure of an asset. A score of 1 would indicate that there would be no
impact on consumer trust if the asset failed. However, a score of 5 would indicate that
the failure of the asset would cause consumers to lose trust in the Borough’s water
utility.
The scores for each of these six categories are listed in Table 2.
6.2.2 Probability of Failure
The likelihood of an asset to fail is developed based on three criteria. Each inventoried asset
was assigned a score for the following three criteria:
Condition: This criterion was based on a visual inspection of the item. The better the condition
of the asset, the lower the assigned value. New assets were assigned a value of 0.1. A value
of 5 would indicate that the condition of the asset is impairing its function.
Service Rating: The service rating is based on how the asset has held up over time. This rating
is determined by the number of unexpected malfunctions the asset has had. A value of 1 would
indicate that there have been no unexpected malfunctions, while a value of 5 would indicate that
there has been a significant number of unexpected malfunctions.
Life Expectancy: This criterion is based on the expected life span of the asset. A new asset
starts with a value of 1. This value continues to increase until it reaches a rating of 5, which
indicates that the asset has reached the end of its useful life.
The values for each of these three criteria are listed in Table 3.

6.2.3 AREA Rating
The consequence of failure and probability of failure factors derived for each asset are
multiplied together to obtain the final AREA factor. The table below provides a visual display of
how the AREA table ranking is calculated:
The AREA calculation results are included in Table 4.
6.3
AREA Calculations for Water Mains and Appurtenances
Similar to facilities, two factors are used to develop the AREA for water mains: Consequence of
Failure (how important an asset is to the reliability of the water distribution system) and
Probability of Failure (how likely the asset is to fail). These two factors are multiplied to obtain
the AREA. AREA for fire hydrants and valves have not been determined.
6.3.1 Probability of Failure
Probability of failure is based on the remaining useful service life of the water main. In the
future, as incidents of water main breaks are recorded in the GIS database, patterns relating to
the probability of water main failures may become evident and will be factored into the
probability of failure analysis. Water mains were assigned the following values for probability of
failure:
•
Improbable: 0-1
•
Remote: >1-2
•
Occasional: >2-3
•
Probable: >3-4
•
Imminent: >4-5

6.3.2 Consequence of Failure
Water mains were visually ranked on a scale of 1 through 5 based on the service area and type
of customers who would be without water if the water main were to fail. Water mains were
assigned the following values for consequence of failure:
•
Lowest disruption: 1
•
Low disruption: 2
•
Medium disruption: 3
•
High disruption: 4
•
Highest disruption: 5

7.0 PRIORITIZED PROGRAM
7.1
Prioritizing Asset Replacements and Rehabilitations
Generally, the magnitude of the AREA factors is used to set priorities for the management of the
water system assets. Assets have been categorized as follows:
1. Significant Risk Exposure Assets - are those assets that scored above a 12 on the
AREA rating. These are critical assets that need to be repaired or replaced as soon as
possible. This will help to ensure that the system remains operational and there is no
drop in the level of service provided.
2. Moderate Risk Exposure Assets - are those assets with an AREA rating above 5 and up
to 12. The repair and rehabilitation of assets that rank as moderate risk exposure should
be considered for a lower budget appropriation than critical assets.
3. Low Risk Exposure Assets - are those assets with an AREA rating of 5 and below.
These assets are in good condition and, under normal circumstances, do not present
any near-term risk of failure or malfunction. Routine operation and maintenance
procedures are appropriate for the risk exposure assets.
7.2
Significant Risk Exposure Assets
There are no assets categorized as significant risk exposure assets.
7.3
Moderate Risk Exposure Assets
The following assets are categorized as moderate risk exposure assets:
•
Star Lake Water Tank. This is rated as a moderate risk exposure asset because it is the
only water tank in the Borough, its replacement cost is significant, and considering there
are 37 years left on its expected life.
•
Numerous water mains in the Borough are rated as moderate risk exposure assets.
This is because if these water mains broke, they would cause large water outages or
significantly reduce the water system’s capacity. The following are improvements that
can reduce the AREA rating for many of these assets:
o Eliminating 2-, and 4-inch water mains from the system.
o Create redundancy in the system by looping the water mains and not having
dead ends.
o Replacing the water mains that are at or nearing the end of their useful life.
o Conducting water main condition evaluations on older transmission mains in the
Borough.
7.4
Low Risk Exposure Assets
Other assets are categorized as low risk exposure assets.

8.0 LIFE CYCLE COSTS
8.1
Overview
Each year, the Borough’s Water Department establishes an operating budget for the entire
water system, which includes funds for the operation and maintenance (O&M), repairs and
replacements, and capital improvement projects.
8.2
Operation and Maintenance
O&M functions relate to the day-to-day running and upkeep of assets and are particularly
relevant to short-lived dynamic assets (such as pumps) where deterioration through lack of
regular maintenance may result in rapid failure.
O&M procedures are routinely assessed and revised as appropriate to improve the efficiency of
system operations. The O&M budget for each year is set by the Borough with input from the
Water System Operator.
8.3
Repairs and Replacements
8.3.1 Asset Valuation – Facilities
All assets in the inventory were assigned an estimated replacement cost and rehabilitation cost
(Table 5). The values are a rough order of magnitude costs and were estimated based on
current costs. For many assets, product details were not available to determine a detailed
valuation and assumptions were made to estimate the current replacement value of the asset.
8.3.2 Asset Valuation – Distribution System Piping
Recent project cost data were used to prepare rough order of magnitude replacement costs for
water mains. In the current water distribution system, 35% of the pipes are smaller than 8-inch.
Since these pipes were installed, the NJDEP has updated their minimum pipe size requirements
to 8-inch. The Borough could establish a more robust water system by replacing small diameter
piping. The estimated current replacement costs for water mains are as follows:
Pipe Dia. (in)
Cost / Linear Foot
8
$365
10
$415
12
$419
16
$439
8.4
Asset Expected Life
Eventually, all assets will need to be replaced. Estimated asset lives are used to predict the
timing of asset renewals. Each of the inventoried assets were assigned a useful life and
rehabilitation frequency period.

Published values of asset longevity were found to have significant variation. The variation is
understandable given that the useful life is dependent upon many variables, including soil
corrosivity, stress of service, environmental exposure, etc. However, the variation is not
consequential in the calculation of the required annual renewal funding due to the long planning
period for the asset renewal (150-years).
8.5
150-Year Projected Renewals
The 150-year renewal funding requirements for facilities and water mains are shown in Figure 1.
The results indicate that the Borough will need to plan for, on average, $460,000 of
replacements/renewals per year to sustain the reliability of the assets based on the
management strategies established.
8.6
Water Main Replacement Cycle
The water system dates back to the 1920s and water mains were added in subsequent years
(see Figure 2). The water mains that were installed in the 1940s are starting to reach the end of
their expected useful life. Figure 1 shows the high costs of replacing the aging water mains
when they reach the end of their useful life. A plan to replace 1,000 to 2,000 linear feet of water
main each year will serve to distribute the water main replacement costs over time and reduce
the reliance on water mains that have exceeded their service life (Figure 3).

9.0 FUNDING STRATEGY
9.1
General
The Bloomingdale Water Department has an excellent track record of regular maintenance,
rehabilitation, and replacement of their assets. Moving forward, the AREA rating will be
reviewed to determine what assets need to be rehabilitated or replaced in the next several
years. The assets with higher AREA ratings will be considered and will be evaluated to
determine whether the assets will be rehabilitated or replaced. An estimation of the cost will
also be determined during the review. By maintaining an outlook of several years, appropriate
budgets can be established and water rates can be adjusted accordingly.
9.2
Funding Sources
The Borough will utilize the following funding sources for infrastructure improvement:
•
Water Utility Capital Fund & Operating Funds
•
Grant Funds, when available
•
Local Assessment, when and where appropriate
9.3
Project Report
As part of the WQAA, the Borough is required to prepare the Capital Improvement Report (CIR)
annually. The CIR will identify the infrastructure improvements undertaken in the previous year,
the current year, and expected to be undertaken the following year. This AMP will be used to
help select the future projects to add to the Capital Improvement Report.
The AMP report will be updated on an as-needed basis.
