I feel that it might be spelled differently.

The last news I've heard about the development was about a year ago. Apparently water supply is the problem to be worked out.
I imagine very little will be planned out or approved until after the 2020 elections.

The most interesting point that I read on your link was this quote:
"The average U.S. water utility loses 30% of its water due to infrastructure leaks before it even reaches the end user. Leakage is unacceptable in a smart city like Belmont."

WTF? 30% and that is AVERAGE? A quick google shows that in AZ, much of the waste is from canal leaks (see https://www.azcentral.com/story/opin...ing/590298002/ )

I wonder how much canals lose in evaporation?

Looks like CAP has answered this one


Q: How much water is lost through evaporation (or seepage)?

A: Due to the design, constant delivery system and efficient operation methods, CAP's average annual evaporation loss is 4.4 percent, or 16,000 acre feet from the aqueduct and 50,000 acre feet from Lake Pleasant. Seepage losses are 0.6 percent, or 9,000 acre feet per year.

It might have helped if you'd bothered to provide information or a link.
