However, if <br />the assumptions are simplified, a rough estimate of the fees can be made <br />and used as an example. Using the average population growth over a 35 year <br />period (1985 - 2020) of 196 people per year and 3.00 people per household <br />(U.S. Census Bureau, 1980), 65 households would be created each year. <br /> <br />To illustrate the cost to individual users, a tap fee of $12,318 would <br />be required to completely meet the annual payment of the 8 percent revenue <br />bond scenario. This assumes 65 new households per year. To pay for the <br />project with water charges alone, would require a charge of $1~83 per 1,000 <br />gallons. This is based on an average water use of 1346 acre-feet over the <br />35 year period and is in addition to the present charge of $4.33 per 1,000 <br />gallons to treat and deliver water to user. With the above assumptions, if <br />the tap fee were raised to $5,000, the water charge would need to be <br />increased by $1.10 per 1,000 gallons to meet the $800,691 annual payment. <br /> <br />6-9 <br />
