Written Comments, Questions and Answers received during the October 28, 2020 Online Engagement Panel Webinar Meeting:

Thank you for this presentation. I'll ask something that has likely been asked before... but I want to know your thoughts. Has there been thought of a public-private partnership whereby a private entity runs/maintains the desal plant and builds some (or much) of the needed infrastructure, then benefits from charging agencies for the water provided? In the long term, this project seems like a valuable backup and supplement to the Central Coast Blue project. The price tag is likely prohibitive for our agencies alone after the significant investment in CC Blue.
