The deadline of December 31, 2026, for the expenditure of $104 million allocated for the Mangilao hospital project necessitates reallocation discussions. Governor Lou Leon Guerrero's funding includes $60 million for the Guam Waterworks Authority (GWA) and $40 million for the Guam Power Authority (GPA).
The GWA is expected to identify eligible projects for the funds, with a focus on utilizing 'off the shelf' projects to meet the approaching deadline. Meanwhile, GWA's wastewater treatment contract will expire in October, prompting a new procurement process for chemicals designed to mitigate sewer system blockages, estimated to exceed $1 million over five years. The reallocation of funds could reduce reliance on local financing, benefiting GWA ratepayers.
