BACKGROUND
As defined by the Concession Agreement (CA), eligible costs for the Operating Repair and Replacement (OR&R) program are:

ii. A Repair with respect to an Underground Asset, or
iii. An Emergency Capital Repair costing less than $125,000.

The tables include a brief description of the project, project number, original amount budgeted, final expenditure and are listed in order by project number.
