Summary

A January 22, 2009 memorandum from Town Engineer James Bowser to Public Works Director Paul Brazil regarding the cost and feasibility of private irrigation water supply systems in Palm Beach. The memo outlines significant costs associated with such projects, citing a comparable project in Manalapan costing between $400,000 and $450,000, and estimating that even the cheapest systems would exceed $100,000 due to deep well drilling (Floridan Aquifer) or treatment requirements for salt water wells. The document is stamped with Bates number HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_016667.
