• <br />Capital Improvement Program: <br />The water treatment complex cost (including engineering, administrative, and financing <br />costs) are estimated at $12,050,000, this cost includes $3,000,000 for construction of <br />the ground storage tank, booster station and well no. 7 and $9,050,000 for the <br />construction of the treatment plant. The additional wells, well houses and raw <br />watermain are estimated to cost $4,825,000. The cost of the distribution system <br />improvements is estimated to be $2,895,000. <br />As the water treatment plant would provide substantial benefit for the existing water <br />customers, water rate increases could be utilized to fund a portion of the project. The <br />remainder of the costs could be funded by a water availability charge for new <br />connections. <br />The capital improvement program phases in the wells and watermains as needed for <br />population growth. It also shows the centralized storage reservoir and booster station <br />being built in the 2010 to 2012 time period when more storage is necessary. Using the <br />capital improvement program and system layout, the treatment plant can be added in <br />the future and is shown in 2017. The detailed capital improvement program can be <br />found on page 26 of the attached water treatment plant feasibility study. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Staff recommends approving Resolution No. 07 -150, accepting the Water Treatment <br />Plant Feasibility Study. <br />
