<br />
<br />Under conditions which would exist during the Initial Development,
<br />the equitablo price for 5,700 acre-feet of municipal water at the project
<br />distritu~ion facilities is estimated to be approximately ~0.033 per 1,000
<br />gallons or 010.70 per acro-foct, and roturns from tho sale of municipal
<br />\~.tor I~vo boon ov~luated on that basis. This docs not include tho value
<br />or possossion of rot urn flews, In the ropaymont study, tho additional
