Drought: Marin Municipal Water District allots $23.2M for pipeline
The Marin Municipal Water District has allocated up to $23.2 million to buy equipment for a proposed emergency supply pipeline across the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge. The investment, approved by the district board on Tuesday, is the largest the agency has made since proposing the idea earlier this year. The 8-mile pipeline, estimated to cost up to $90 million, is the district’s main backup plan should it deplete its main reservoir supplies next summer in the event of another dry winter.
