This kind of clusterf#@k is what happens whenever government or a bureaucratic blunder like the INAC are allowed to drive projects and hire the 'usual suspects' as consultants or faux experts....and of course the engineering firms and usual government bid winners for construction aren't happy unless they get to play in the trough too. Far too many paper pushers and CYA (cover your ass) trough dwellers involved. Let's assess.. 8 years ago the government paid about $13 million to build a facility to treat/produce  35,000 gallons per day of potable water, for 350 people. Our company just designed/built a system to produce 750,000 gallons per day of potable water (from a far more tainted source containing arsenic, sulphides, etc.) for under $600,000 USD installed (in less than 100 days from design stage) for a major Nevada city.
