The recommended term of the loan is 30 years and the recommended lending <br />rate is 4.25%. Security for the loan will be a pledge of assessment revenues backed by <br />assessment covenant as well as the reservoir, water rights to fill the reservoir, and the land <br />upon which the reservoir is located.
