Cost Analysis. The CCWTP 14.5 MGD expansion project currently in design is anticipated to cost $125 million. For comparison, construction of the Bear Creek Reservoir and a new treatment facility was estimated to cost approximately $125 million in 2014. Assuming 3.3% inflation, in 2024 dollars, this estimate is adjusted to approximately $173 million. In 2035 dollars, the estimate is increased to approximately $250 million. Regarding IPR, cost sharing between entities will be an important discussion and should consider immediate and potential future benefits to each entity. While the NCWR may have a more immediate need for IPR, WRF owners will likely have a future need for additional discharge locations as wasteload allocations (WLA) are depleted.
