�� - � fl5 Wholesale Water Costs The cost of SFPllC water is projected to increase by 188%by FY 2011-2012 because of significant new costs associated with the SFPUC's recently adopted Capital Improvement Program (CIP). That CIP forecasts about a2.9 billion in investments to the regional water system to strengthen it against collapse during earthquakes, meet federal and state drinking water standards, and improve its robustness from an engineering perspective. The decreasing reliability and increasing wholesale cost and issues are linked, as both motivate the City to develop alternative sources. With such large increases in purchased water costs, alternative supplies and water conservation programs become relatively more cost- effective.
