This presentation highlights the forward-thinking strategies employed by the Town of Collierville to address the challenges of a rapidly growing community. By collaborating closely with developers and leveraging advanced planning techniques, the Town has established a robust framework to manage growth in its water and wastewater systems while maintaining system integrity and service quality. The core of this initiative is a Development Review Process designed to integrate developers into the planning and decision-making phases. Through this process, Collierville engages with developers to assess how new projects will affect the Town’s water and sewer utilities. Cannon & Cannon, Inc. (CCI) plays a vital role by managing and updating the Town's water and wastewater hydraulic models. These models evaluate the potential flow demands of proposed developments and determine whether existing infrastructure can support these needs or if capital improvements are required. The presentation will provide insights into Collierville’s strategies, including: 1.Developer Engagement A collaborative process ensures developers understand their projects' potential impacts on the Town's utilities. This dialogue fosters transparency and encourages solutions that benefit both the community and developers. 2.Proactive Capacity Evaluation Utilizing hydraulic modeling, the Town evaluates the flow demands of proposed developments, identifying any gaps in capacity and planning necessary upgrades. This ensures that growth is managed without compromising existing systems. 3.Infrastructure Planning The process allows the Town to propose tailored solutions, such as water or sewer system enhancements, ensuring the seamless integration of new developments into the existing infrastructure. Collierville’s approach demonstrates the importance of integrating proactive planning and collaborative engagement in managing growth. By focusing on long-term sustainability and system optimization, the Town ensures it can accommodate future growth without negatively impacting its current customers.
