Speaking at a meeting of the council's strategic planning and policy committee yesterday, MDC assets manager Richard Kirby estimated the cost of repairing roads and utilities would be $18.77 million.
Road and bridge repairs would account for $17.4 million of this, while $1.37 million would have to be spent on utilities like water and waste.
