Cosmopolitan recommended the Recovered Water Outfall be extended approximately 4,000 feet into Lake Chaplain, and that the recovered water pumps be upgraded to accommodate this extension. The extension of the Recovered Water Outfall will separate the outfall from the intake pipe, ensuring that the majority of the recovered water is drawn to the north end of the lake and that the portion of recovered water returning to the plant intakes has undergone significant dilution. The design of the Recovered Water Outfall is now complete and the project is ready to bid for construction. $395,000 has previously been spent on preliminary and final design services. The anticipated construction cost is $1.93 million. RECOMMENDATION: Authorize a Call for Bids for the construction of the Recovered Water Outfall Project at the Water Filtration Plant. 3
