RE:RE:RE:RE:The soap opera continues, good griefThe City buys water rights virtually every year and are currently in negotiations for more. The issue comes as these water rights become more scarce (for sale) they also become more expensive.
What does the City do when when they are growing at a 2.3% growth rate, are responsible for supplying a least 50% of the water for a project and they can't buy anymore?
Their attitude is "I don't care, the M&I agreement will supply all the water we need."
Obviously that is not the current case.
Or do they simple say to developers, "If you want to build you must supply all water rights required for the project". I don't think it is that simple though.
There is the waste water treatment (GSP) is too me the only additional water possibility. You're are probably looking at $20M+ to just build and will take years from engineering, permitting and a building perspective. It has not been approved and can't be part of the 20 year plan for water.
