Preliminary financial modeling for the Lake Powell Pipeline will be presented at the Water District’s Community Integrated Resource Planning Advisory Committee (CIRPAC) meeting on Thursday, Nov. 21.
The primary focus of this meeting will be to lay a foundation in terms of how the pipeline might be financed and what the implications of that mean for the current and future residents of Washington County. The objective is not to provide a final, definitive funding model but to explore the options and alternatives with the goal of answering two fundamental questions:
1. When might the pipeline need to commence construction?
2. What are the fiscal implications of a project of this magnitude?
A portion of this presentation will be interactive, with committee members using real-time polling technology to narrow model assumptions.
