They've replaced the conventional 8 inch process pipe with a new 16 inch reverse osmosis system. Singapore imports more than half it's water under expiring contracts from Malaysia and is looking toward water independence. Does this new cost factor reflect your impressive challenge? I call it "The Tehachapi Calculation"!!
