Top 3 Key Takeaways

Water Treatment Plant Phase 2 Expansion Critical: The district's water treatment plant has reached 80% capacity (32 MGD threshold) and exceeded it in July 2025, triggering mandatory Phase 2 expansion discussions per the water supply agreement. With projected demands potentially reaching 33 MGD by next summer and cities requesting 54% increases in allocations, the district approved a preliminary engineering report showing expansion costs of $256 million in today's dollars, though delays could increase costs to $327 million in five years due to 5% annual escalation.
