Cost Estimate of a Munster-to-Richmond Pipeline
Compared with Spray Irrigation

by Totten Sims Hubicki Associates

Presented February 13, 1998


Reproduction (below) of original chart (CLICK HERE), was necessary due to the poor quality of the original, supplied by the Region, as Evidence #65, for the OMB Hearing. It warrants close scrutiny, none-the-less, because it was made available to the Region, just prior to the Region's solicitation of pipeline bids, in spite of the considerably higher cost of the pipeline (see below), relative to the "design build" compliant bids, and in spite of the Council motion (CLICK HERE), which only asked for review of advanced treatment technologies ---"as an alternative to Spray Irrigation". In other words:  advanced technologies, only, were supposed to be compared  to the current preferred option: the Lagoon and Spray Field Expansion ...not the pipeline option, which had been eliminated, (due to the forcemain option's high cost, and technical problems), in the previous ($450,000.00) Environmental Assessment, completed by Totten Sims Hubicki Associates.
