Basin Injection/Recovery Project (1998 dollars)
*a. Injection potential would be greater in a wet year and smaller in a dry year. (See Fugro West 1997.) The number of injection wells was increased based on results of preliminary pilot injection well testing in 1998 (Fugro West 1998). *b. Estimated construction costs were increased by 25% for design, permitting, and construction management and were escalated by 3% to represent 1998 cost levels. Capital cost estimates do not include costs for environmental mitigation. *c. Source: American Water Works Service Company 1997. Estimated construction costs were increased by 45% (20% for contingencies and 25% for design, permitting, and construction management) and escalated by 3% to represent 1998 cost levels. *d. O&M costs for diversion, treatment, and transport of water from Carmel Valley to Seaside Basin and injection and recovery of the water. O&M costs associated with Cal-Am distribution system improvements were not developed. |
