Financial Analysis <br />The total estimated cost of the project is $280,000. Bennett qualifies for the municipal middle <br />income interest rate for 30 years at 3.50%. Bennett will provide the 10% local share ($30,000) of <br />the project cost with cash from its reserves. <br />Due to the urgency of replacing Well #5, Bennett has acquired a commercial bridge loan from <br />Guaranty Bank. This bridge loan allowed an award of a contract to re-drill/complete a <br />replacement well in time for summer use. The bridge loan terms require repayment in the <br />summer of 2008. The request for a CWCB loan allows for the long term financing of the project. <br />Table 1 is a summary of the financial aspects of the project. <br />Table 1.
