Use the accompanying cost figures.† Assume that the population is estimated to be 100,000 in 15 years and waste generation is 100 gal/(capita)(day). Design is to be based only on conditions 15 years from now. Study alternate actions of design for 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 million gal/day. Assume that the cost of adding capacity is $150,000 per million gal/day needed.
