either cover the reservoirs or provide treatment at the outlets of the reservoirs to inactivate Cryptosporidium

We believe a $400 million (plus debt service) new construction program for replacement of open reservoirs will be much more expensive than a reservoir variance option available to the City (see below) or low cost alternative like "treatment at the outlet".

nine-year consultant study of the open reservoirs[3] (http://www.friendsofreservoirs.org/news.html#_ftn3) indicated that “treatment at the outlet” is feasible. Yet, on March 25, 2009 the PWB brought a report to City Council and sought immediate approval for a $400 million reservoir burial plan to bring the City into compliance with the LT2 Rule.
