As indicated previously, of the total $7.5 billion expended to date, nearly 80% has funded court
mandated projects such as the Boston Harbor Project, the MetroWest Supply Tunnel, the Carroll
Water Treatment Plant, and the Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO) program. The mandated projects
represent 42.5% of projected FY09-13 spending.
As presented in the table on the following page, Asset Protection and Water Redundancy initiatives
account for 31.6% and 16.8% of FY09-13 spending. These percentages grow substantially to 53.5%
and 37.3% respectively for the FY14-18 timeframe.
