Here’s the part that gets me.
We’re all looking at a staggering $167 million investment in our water infrastructure. The real problem is that a massive piece of that—the new $101 million water reclamation facility—was planned around a single customer that’s already gone: The Majors.
That plant was designed for a huge 12 MGD capacity because the city was counting on the golf course to be its anchor customer. The Majors wasn't just another account; it was a major part of the watershed for the project's financial plan.
So now we have a brand-new, very expensive facility scheduled to open this year, with a ghost for its main customer. This leave the only option of deep well injection of all that reclaimed water. Up to 12 Million Gallons a day pumped below the aquifer. Cities can sell reclaimed water at a loss because it's still much less expensive than deep well injection.
When the city talks about a "stranded asset," what that really means is you and I will likely get stuck paying for it. This is the kind of thing that leads to rate hikes for everyone. That’s the bottom line.
