Water would be supplied to the Rifle Village South Metro- <br />politan District, to the Southside Center, and to other potential <br />water distribution systems at wholesale rates. The total estimated <br />cost of the proposed project including construction costs, contingen- <br />cies, land and rights-of-way, engineering, and legal and administrative <br />costs is $1,460,000 in December 1981 dollars. <br /> <br />- 3 - <br />
