Kennedy/Jenks Consultants ‘Evaluation of the Deep Water Desalination Project Costs,’ 12 September 2014

ABSTRACT:  “DeepWater Desal's water would cost about $2,085 per unit, or acre foot, compared to Cal Am's $3,732 per unit cost estimate,” according to a study by Kennedy/Jenks Consultants. “And DeepWater Desal estimated it could deliver water for $1,670 per unit, about 20 percent less than the Kennedy/Jenks study estimate. The study explained the difference by pointing to higher projected power and contingency costs,” according to reporting in The Monterey County Herald.  Kennedy/Jenks Consultants ‘Evaluation of the Deep Water Desalination Project Costs,’12 September 2014, document is embedded.
