Overview
The Monterey Peninsula Water Project (MPWP) was created to fill a growing need for water following the failure of the Regional Water Project. The MPWP will consist of a series of slant wells designed to pump water to a desalination facility in Marina [1]. Current water (% use) in Monterey County stems from water which has been illegal obtained (citation). This project will prevent the legality problem of water...
Costs
The MPWP has an estimated cost of $277 million[1]. These costs will be allocated to following portions of the project:
| Aspect of MPWP | Cost
|
|---|---|
| Surface Intake Systems and Supply Return Facilities | $51M |
| Desalination Plant | $95M |
| Pipeline Facilities | $131M |
| Pre-Construction Cost | $8M |
Rate Changes
With the installation of the Marina Peninsula Water Project, typical rate payers in the Monterey area can expect a 41% bill increase by 2018 [2]. The average citizen in the Monterey area uses approximately 74 units (10 cubic feet per unit). These citizens monthly bill is expected to raise from $75 to an estimated $104 by 2018. Citizens will be affected differently based on the levels of their water consumption.
