The combined blue route, Segment A and B, represents the lowest cost consolidated route at $505.7 million. Estimated costs will be updated when Tampa Bay Water’s consulting engineers complete the detailed design for the pipeline. Tampa Bay Water has received $4.5 million in co-funding from the Southwest Florida Water Management District for preliminary design and has signed an amended agreement increasing the District’s co-funding commitment to $147.9 million. Hillsborough County will pay for Segment B, which is estimated to cost $84 million.
