Desal Task Force: Current Cost Estimate for Proposed Plant in Santa Cruz is '$114 Million'
Program managers delivered a $114 million cost estimate for construction of the proposed desal plant to the members of the Desalination Task Force at their October 17 meeting in Santa Cruz. The $114 million figure is to be considered a range, representing a possible cost of between $97 million and $143 million for the plant, and it does not include the millions spent already during the early phase of planning and promotion of the proposed water project. The EIR review process was also discussed, and a member of the task force mentioned options could include a 60 or 90 day public comment period, to hopefully occur after the holiday season had passed to allow for more public participation.
