Cost estimates from CPL’s 2020 Engineering Report

  At the $10.6 million original cost
  estimate – this is what the new debt
  was estimated as per parcel per
  year for 30 years assuming a 3%
  interest rate

Still not even
half of what
is anticipated

  Currently Water District 1 pays about
  $67/year ($23 maintenance + $44
  capital) on a house with assessed
  value of $150,000 (slide #47)

  2026 Budget doubles the Capital rate
  and will raise the cost on a house
  with assessed value of $150,000 to
  $110/year ($23 maintenance + $89
  capital)
