Please Read Section 8 Detailed Evaluation of Selected Alternatives,
of Task 4, of the Water Master Plan found on CCSD web site.

In this section an Overview of Potential Water Supply Alternatives
eight (8) alternatives, including desal are evaluated according
to 7 criteria. Statements in the report, the level of detail, the time when the evaluation was performed, and the scope and age of previous studies upon which this evaluation was based clearly intimate this decision was not made on a “level playing field.”

There is a lot of technical info, but buried in this report are the following:

1. The names of possible potential water supplies
2. The list of required permits
3. A cost analysis for each project
4. Projected time, including construction, permitting and agreements
with the total time estimated from start to finish to bring the project
on line.

Its weighty stuff, but please wade through it. After getting through
Section 8, give your brain a rest and then read all of TASK 4. You will find it all very enlightning. You can also decide if Mr. Sanders is right with his statement, “we have no choice but desal.”
