<br /> <br />.... <br /><Xl served from CAP water. As part of the J.ncreased M&I water supply <br />-..1 <br />to would be needed to serve Tucso\" addJ.tional capacIty in the Tucson <br /> <br />Aqueduct would be required in ~'he future. The CAP revenues to the <br /> <br />De.velopment .Fund shown in this :,l'eport take into account the need <br /> <br />for repayment of the cost of such additional c'lpucity. <br /> <br />Under the augmented water supply condi.t ions, the CAP would <br /> <br />repay all of its costs from project: revenues. Assumed water rates <br /> <br />at: canalside are $10 pe.r acre-foot for Irrigation and $56 per acre- <br /> <br />foot for M&l water. All capital cost repayment requirements would <br /> <br />be met by the year 2033, and thereafter the CAP would contribute <br /> <br />about $34,000,000 annually to the Development Fund. <br /> <br />The capacity of the Granite Reef Aqueduct has been assumed as <br /> <br />2,500 cubic feet per second (c. f. s.). However, bec.ause CAP is <br /> <br />treated as a self-contained financial entity duri.ng payout,' assump- <br /> <br />tion of a 3,OOO-c.f.s. aqueduct would have little effect on the <br /> <br />augmentation study. Previous ly, J.975 has been assumed as the <br /> <br />initial date of Colorado River diversion for the CAP. This dat.e <br /> <br />no longer appears realistic and in this report initial diversion <br /> <br />is assumed in 1979. <br /> <br />Since an augmented river would provide California with a <br /> <br />minimum of 4.4 m.a.f. for consumptive use at all times, the <br /> <br />question of a 4.4-m.a.f. priority for California would autolllatically <br /> <br />be resolved. <br /> <br />6 <br />
