State financed CAP cost put at 400 million
Douglas Wall, chairman of the Arizona Interstate Stream Commission, said a state financed Central Arizona Project would cost 400 million and require new taxes. He cited an engineering study from Parsons Engineering. Wall noted federal CAP costs run higher and said sales of water could cover about half of the state project. Construction could begin in 12 to 18 months with eight years to completion if pursued.
