Also update cost based on current estimates from $2,125,000 to $2,350,000. The Water Systems master plan provided two future schedules for installation of future infrastructure. One schedule was based on a two-zone system and the other schedule was based on a three-zone system. Based on further research, while a two-zone system would bring pressures into compliance with DNR requirements, result in less infrastructure long term, and potentially reduce maintenance costs, it would have a significant impacts on current sprinkler systems and cause a financial hardship to many businesses. Due to this negative impact, the Utility has opted to remain with the three-zone system. With a three-zone system, Tower D is needed now. 2024-2033 CIP Update: $1,600,000 in additional funding in 2024 due to rising construction costs.
