Bend city councilors are reopening the discussion about proceeding with the $68 million Bridge Creek water supply project.

City Manager Eric King has said the new pipeline and intake facility, which are only part of the project and have a price tag of approximately $20 million, will cost water ratepayers between 85 cents and $1.70 additionally each month, for a total of between $10.20 and $20.40 annually.

As of the end of January, the city had spent $14.7 million on the project, including for engineering, legal and archaeological services, according to city data.
