Inner Harbor desalination planned to return under new contractor

The Inner Harbor desalination plant is anticipated to be brought back to the City Council this month with a proposal from a new contractor.

The recommended plans to revive the project are outlined in a memo sent from City Manager Peter Zanoni to City Council members on Nov. 7.

In it, he wrote that he had revisited the project over recent weeks “without City Council consideration,” contacting the company that had been second in ranking for the original contract.
