Impact analysis
The $179.85 million contract is funded by grants, partner contributions and state/federal loans — no immediate hit to residents' general fund, though enterprise fund rate structures underpin the financing.
Residents of the Vista Grande basin, including Broadmoor, get modern flood protection, cleaner Lake Merced, and possible recreation gains.
