<br />The following estimate of cost is for Alternative "0" of the High <br />Plain - Ogallala Aquifer Water Transfer Study. These costs do not <br />include the cost for purchasing source water, the distribution system <br />or its intake at the terminal reservoir. This cost estimate is based <br />on January 1977 price levels. These price levels are consistent with <br />price levels used in the General Report prepared by the prime <br />contractor. The estimated cost for Plan I and Plan II are shown in <br />Tables 12 and 13 respectively. <br /> <br />The computed interest during construction utilized a 7-3/8% <br />interest factor compounded annually over the full construction period. <br />It was computed based upon the first cost of construction of the <br />system, without the cost of lands, and assuming a 15-year period for <br />construction. The annual cost was computed utilizing 7-3/8% over a 100 <br />year life with the inclusion of energy costs. <br /> <br />The development of water resource projects of this magnitude <br />require large amounts of capital which in turn result in substantial <br />financial cost that is applied to the overall project cost. Also of <br />significance is the estimated energy demand to operate this system and <br />the associated cost. Figures 1 through 6 graphically display the <br />estimated cost parameters utilizing linear relationships for values <br />between Plan I and Plan II. <br /> <br /> <br />ESTIMATED COST <br /> <br />022 <br />
