The GVWD Boardadopted the GVWD Sustainability Innovation Fund Policy on June 27, 2014, with further amendmentsin 2016, to guide the use and management of the Fund. The Policy describes a process of generating,submitting, evaluating and recommending proposals for funding each year.The Climate Action Committee is responsible for overseeing the Fund, and for making all fundingrecommendations to the Board. Staff assist the Climate Action Committee in reviewing andevaluating all proposals that are submitted for consideration.This report brings forward the 2017 projects recommended for consideration of funding for theWater Sustainability Innovation Fund.WATER SUSTAINABILITY INNOVATION FUND POLICYOn an annual basis, Water projects are submitted to an internal staff Steering Committee,representing a cross-section of the organization, to evaluate projects and initiatives based on theBoard’s evaluation criteria. Evaluation criteria includes the following elements: Consistent with the portfolio of responsibilities of the Water function within MetroVancouver; Contribute to the sustainability of GVWD infrastructure, facilities and/or operations; Support resource conservation, organizational climate change and energy objectives,integrated resource recovery, and water research; Demonstrate innovation; and Facilitate action.Greater Vancouver Water District - 8
2017 Water Sustainability Innovation Fund ApplicationsClimate Action Committee Meeting Date: February 1, 2017Page 2 of 4The Sustainability Innovation Fund is designed to support projects of the water utility that contributeto the region’s sustainability objectives as captured in the Drinking Water Management Plan and theBoard Strategic Plan. The Fund will be used to support the following types of projects: “Opportunity projects” in the capital project planning process. Generally, opportunityprojects benefit from a demonstration or pilot project stage or require a payback period thatis longer than normally considered in the capital planning process at Metro Vancouver. Innovative projects that are outside the drinking water core functions that address cross‐cutting organizational objectives. Public engagement and education programs designed to change behaviour or otherwiseinvolve residents and businesses in the realization of the goals of the Drinking WaterManagement Plan or the Board Strategic Plan.On an annual basis the Climate Action Committee receives a report on the projects supported by theFund including the deliverables, outcomes, and the measurable benefits of these projects to theregion’s sustainability.2017 APPLICATION PROCESSAn internal call for proposals within Water Services closed in November, 2016 and three proposalswere considered by the cross-departmental Sustainability Innovation Fund Steering Committee,comprised of representatives from seven different departments within Metro Vancouver.STEERING COMMITTEE REVIEWIn December 2016, the Steering Committee evaluated the submissions and determined two of theproposals have superior merit with strong alignment to promoting regional sustainability andinnovation.The two proposals readily met the criteria established in the Policy for the Fund and demonstrated aclear understanding of the dimensions of sustainability. The proposals deemed deserving of financialsupport under the Sustainability Innovation Fund are listed in the table below with additional detailprovided in the executive summaries (Attachment 1).The projects recommended for funding by the Steering Committee are presented in the followingtable:Recommended allocation from the Water Sustainability Innovation FundProject TitleYearAmount RequestedEarthquake Early Warning System2018 100,000Smart Watering App2018 80,000Total 180,000Greater Vancouver Water District - 9
2017 Water Sustainability Innovation Fund ApplicationsClimate Action Committee Meeting Date: February 1, 2017Page 3 of 4Earthquake Early Warning SystemThis project will investigate the opportunities and benefits of installing primary (P-wave) monitoringdevices on critical water infrastructure that would potentially provide a 30 to 90 second warningbefore an earthquake. The project will permit Metro Vancouver to explore the opportunities for anearly warning system that could potentially enhance business continuity in the provision of water tothe region in the event of a major earthquake. It may also speed up the restoration of services tosome or all areas of the region due to steps undertaken to minimize earthquake impacts on peopleand infrastructure.The knowledge gained from this project will be directly transferable to the protection of other MetroVancouver infrastructure, such as the liquid waste system and housing assets. The project will buildcapacity in the region for assessing the usefulness of early warning systems as well as reducingimpacts on the natural environment.Smart Watering AppThe Smart Watering App will be a tool for residents and businesses providing easy to understandadvice on outdoor watering needs based on the Water Shortage Response Plan (WSRP) wateringrestrictions, historical and forecasted weather data, landscape characteristics and other userspecified factors. This application will be similar in appearance to a local 7-day weather forecast, withsimple easy to follow instructions on how long to water various landscapes.The project will produce an online application accessible through the Metro Vancouver website aswell as Android and iOS versions of the application.Further details on the project proposals are provided in the executive summaries included in theAttachment to this report.ALTERNATIVES1.

ATTACHMENT 1Sustainability Innovation Fund: Water ServicesExecutive SummaryProject Name: Earthquake Early Warning SystemPurpose:Investigate the opportunities and benefits of installing primary wave (P-wave) monitoring devices oncritical water infrastructure that would potentially provide a 30 to 90 second warning before anearthquake. The timing of this initiative aligns well with operational measures underway to automatereservoir isolation valves and the recent provincial interest in Earthquake Early Warning (EEW)capabilities.Recommendation:The Steering Committee recommends funding for this project in the amount of 100,000Project Objectives: To assess available technology for earthquake early warning systemsTo identify areas of the water system that may benefit from an EEW systemTo review provincial plans for EEW and identify areas of potential collaborationIdentify preliminary requirements, including preliminary costs and schedule for a pilot EEW systemwater systemTo recommend options and next steps, including a pilot project if feasible, for implementing an EEWsystem for the water systemContributions to Regional Sustainability:This project will permit Metro Vancouver to explore the opportunities for an early warning system thatcould potentially enhance business continuity in the provision of water to the region in the event of amajor earthquake. It may also reduce the recovery time to restore services to some or all areas of theregion.The knowledge gained from this project will be directly transferable to the protection of other MetroVancouver infrastructure such as the liquid waste system and housing assets.The project will build capacity in the region for assessing the usefulness of early warning systems as wellas reducing impacts on the natural environment.Innovation Element:The use of P-wave early warning technology in general, and for water systems in particular, is at its infancy.While Metro Vancouver’s Water Services Department is already taking measures to protect itsinfrastructure, the capability to use early warning systems has not been explored. Assessing and applyingthat potential in the context of emerging early warning system technologies in the marketplaceconstitutes an innovative and non-conventional extension of present capabilities to protect the watersystem.Greater Vancouver Water District - 12
Tangible Benefits and Outcomes:Early warning systems would potentially allow enough time to close critical valves, shut down sensitiveequipment, protect staff and reduce impacts and/or recovery-time in providing continued services to theregion. Corporately, early warning systems may assist in reducing financial impact, expedite servicerecovery, protect assets, and enhance coordination and emergency response with the Province and LocalGovernments.If an earthquake early warning system for Water Services is determined to be viable, it will identify thepotential reduction in adverse environmental impacts (e.g. due to prevention of some water leaks),social/community savings (e.g. increased water availability for fire-fighting; prevention of some injuriesdue to early warning), and economic/financial benefits (e.g. potential for time and money saved due tofewer repairs of damaged infrastructure).The information obtained from this project will identify pros/cons and costs/benefits of such a system,and if applicable recommend testing as part of a pilot project. The benefits of the project can be measuredto a certain extent through the pilot project, but full benefits would not be measurable until after a majorearthquake.Members and other Partners:Water Services will lead this project with participation from Corporate Services (SSEM). Informationsharing from the Province (Emergency Management BC), Federal government (NRCan), UBC and otheragencies engaged in research, development and/or implementation will be sought. Through a consultant,the project will also search and review available private sector solutions.Amount Requested from Sustainability Innovation Fund: 100,000Greater Vancouver Water District - 13
Sustainability Innovation Fund: Water ServicesExecutive SummaryProject Name: Smart Watering AppPurpose:The Smart Watering App will be a tool for residents and businesses providing easy to understand adviceon outdoor watering needs based on the Water Shortage Response Plan (WSRP) watering restrictions,historical and forecasted weather data, landscape characteristics, and other user-specified factors. Thisapplication will be similar in appearance to a local 7-day weather forecast, with simple easy to followinstructions on how long to water various landscapes.The project will produce an online application accessible through the Metro Vancouver website as well asAndroid and iOS versions of the application.Recommendation:The Steering Committee recommends funding for this project in the amount of 80,000.Project Objectives:To develop a Smart Watering App that integrates WSRP watering restrictions, historical and predictedweather data in conjunction with representative landscape information to output simple, easy to use dailyforecasts on when and how much to water lawns, vegetable gardens, flowers, shrubs, and trees.Contributions to Regional Sustainability:This project reflects the region’s ongoing commitment to the sustainable use of our water resources. Theapplication will enhance public awareness and knowledge on the efficient use of water, augmentingcompliance with summer sprinkling regulations and improving the adaptability of our water demands toanticipated hotter and drier summers due to changing climates.Innovation Element:Several American cities and water districts have implemented similar online tools for residential outdoorwater use; however, many do not incorporate weather forecast data that greatly influences outdoorwatering. It will be the first application in Canada that provides a real-time, location and weather basedresource for reducing outdoor water use. Awareness of plant watering requirements specific to weatherand vegetation type will lead to more efficient summer water use and ideally, lessen the need forregulatory enforcement.Tangible Benefits and Outcomes:The Smart Watering App is a predictive tool that will inform Metro Vancouver residents and businesseson how to effectively and efficiently water outdoor plants, by providing location specific and weatherbased watering requirements that adhere to the WSRP. This will encourage smarter outdoor water usehabits, reducing the impacts of peak summer water use on the region’s water supply, and improveregulatory compliance. This tool will support the WSRP by enhancing public knowledge on efficientwatering of gardens and lawns.Greater Vancouver Water District - 14
Members and other Partners:Water Services will lead this project with assistance from the External Relations Web & Design Division.Historical and forecasted weather data from Environment Canada will provide location specificinformation for different parts of the region. Local government staff will be part of the project team. Theproject outcome is expected to assist local governments in reducing water demand and improvingcompliance and enforcement of local government water use and sprinkling bylaws. The Smart WateringApp will complement existing Metro Vancouver web-based initiatives such as the Go Green Guide and WeLove Water campaign.Amount Requested from Sustainability Innovation Fund: 80,000Greater Vancouver Water District - 15
