to draw as much as 10 million gallons daily from the creek into the ductile iron pipeline DBE will install along a route that will follow Florida 16 and Florida 21. The project’s three parts are scheduled to be completed and operating together by September 2024, Dale Jenkins, the management district’s director of projects, told the governing board.
The pipeline contract was estimated early this year to potentially cost $60 million, Jenkins told the governing board. He said the number was high partly because prices for iron were high early in the war between Russia and Ukraine, both important pig iron producers.
