While the location where the wastewater treatment plant is located is not likely to be subject to flooding until near the end of the century, the plant itself will eventually need to be repaired or replaced and this is the most cost effective time to plan for and incorporate future projections of sea level rise and changes to the coastal flood risk for the area where the plant will be located. As such, any redevelopment designs for the plant should include projections of future climate change, including sea level rise.
