New Lake Powell Pipeline Report Won't Detail Repayment Plan

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — As officials in southern Utah prepare to release new details on plans to build a billion-dollar pipeline from Lake Powell to the growing city of St. George, environmentalists are raising questions about who will pay for the project and when. [...] Thompson said it will be several years before details are finalized about where or how the pipeline will be built, so officials aren't yet trying to get a final cost estimate. "[...] we know which options they're going to allow us to use, it's a little hard to put a price on this project," he said. Zach Frankel, executive director of environmental group Utah Rivers Council, said he believes state water officials and the Washington County Conservancy District are purposely withholding details about the cost because the agencies know it won't be repaid with interest.
