<br />, <br />001740 <br /> <br />It has been assruned thot the cost of specific municipal water <br />supply works would be $22,124,000 even though constructed by the <br />municipalities. No ether basis fer an estllTh~te is readily available. <br />It has also been assumed that the ultimate cost of vmter te the <br />municipalities muld equal the total rates of Federal constructien <br />shoTm in table 13. The difference in rates between tables 7 and 13 <br />allows sufficient funds for D.I:lortization of the specific works by <br />the municipalities at an interest rate between 2 and 2-1/2 percent. <br />It sheuld be noted that all proposed rates for municipal water are <br />appreximations, subject to final dctel'oin"tion when a definite plmf <br />is prepared. <br /> <br />5.
