McCall eyes second water bond election amid 'staggering' treatment plant costs
A project to expand the capacity of McCall’s drinking water plant is facing a funding shortfall of at least $7 million.
Members of the McCall City Council were briefed on that financial reality at a meeting last week, during which council members agreed seeking debt financing would be the best way to close the funding gap.
The amount of the bond issue is still to be determined, but it is expected to land between $7 million and $11 million. The measure could be on the ballot for voters to decide as soon as May 19, or less than two years after voters authorized a $16.5 million bond for the water project.
If approved, the new debt financing would likely raise monthly bills for about 5,400 city water users by up to 4%, council members were told.
