Impact analysis
Estimated capital cost of approximately $928 million for water and wastewater plant construction.
City residents if long-term control yields rate stability, though cooperative members currently benefit from shared regional infrastructure costs.
Taxpayers and ratepayers would face immense debt service burdens if self-sufficiency is pursued.
