<br /> <br />. <br /> <br />CHAPTER III <br /> <br />BASES FOR ANALYSES <br /> <br />Bene~its to Municipal and Domestic <br />and Outdoor Residential Water Uses <br /> <br />Benefits from water ~or municipal and domestic and outdoor residen- <br />tial uses were estimated as the costs o~ the cheapest single-purpose <br />alternative methods o~ providing the water i~ the absence of a Federally <br />~inanced project. The alternatives were based on use o~ water from the <br />Fryingpan or Roaring Fork River. It was assumed that all of the water <br />for the alternatives 'would have to be purchased ~rom storage in Ruedi <br />Reservoir since direct ~lows o~ the rivers are fully appropriated except <br />in extremely high runo~~ years. <br /> <br />Construction costs of the alternative developments were based on <br />January 1973 prices and annual operation, maintenance, and replacement <br />costs on 1970-72 prices. Construction costs and interest during con- <br />struction were amortized on the basis o~ non-Federal financing over a <br />25-year period at an interest rate o~ 7 percent. It was assumed that <br />power would be available ~rom a public utility at rates o~ 1 cent a <br />kilowe.tt-hour and $1.50 a kilowatt-month. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />;;:: <br />;';t <br />~."'..- <br />One 01' the new residential developments for ranch-type homes. <br />This area is just south o~ Cattle Creek. <br /> <br /> <br />^"-~ <br /> <br />'-,,, <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />26 <br />
