The cost of raw water versus treated water is significantly less expensive. It is
anticipated the cost to build the irrigation pond to facilitate the use of raw water for
watering the Meadowmere park Soccer Complex will be recouped in approximately 15
years. Additionally the use of untreated water is better for the health of the turf and
yields environmental benefit because it removed the greenhouse gas emissions
associated with the treatment of the water. Staff recommends approval.
