FISCAL IMPACT: The Division of Power and Water has allocated $15,618,333.00 for water treatment chemicals in the 2007 Budget. The chemicals marketplace has been marked by volatility in supply and purchasing that has been higher than expected. Due to this volatility the Division of Power and Water will hold in reserve the remaining balance of the chemicals budget and reexamine chemical usage in the forth quarter and if necessary submit additional legislation to cover expenditures through March 31, 2008.
$ 9,891,272.00 was expended for chemicals during 2006.
$ 8,484,023.00 was expended for chemicals during 2005.
