Bradford, Village Manager Re: Water System, Capital Connection Charge Dear Mr. Bradford: Per your request we have reviewed the Water System's five year Capital Improvement Program and revised the Capital Connection Charge pursuant to expansion related items in the program. In addition, we have also prepared Capital Connection Charges for alternatives, based on a similar expansion capacity, utilizing for one alternative a combination of Conventional and Reverse Osmosis process, and in the other alternative Reverse Osmosis process only. The results of our analysis indicates that the estimated costs (Capital Connection Charge) per Equivalent Residential Connection (ERC), for an improvement program utilizing a similar process to the existing treatment plant, would be $1,150. The estimated costs relative to an improvement program utilizing the alternative of Conventional and Reverse Osmosis process is estimated to be $1,500 per ERC the alternative utilizing solely Reverse Osmosis is estimated at $1,900 per ERC. Each of these Expansion programs considers additional potable water capacity to meet the projected maximum day demands through fiscal year 1996. The attached schedules provide the salient items considered in developing the Capital Connection Charge, (estimated cost per ERC for additional capacity). The estimated construction cost includes allowances for contingencies and engineering. Funding Related Costs pertain to the reserve funds, interest during construction, underwriting costs and other issuance related expenses associated with revenue bonds, which, for the purpose of this analysis, have been included at 35 percent of the construction costs. The average daily demand per ERC is based on the metered amounts from all 5/8 inch meters in the system for a 12 consecutive month period. Design criteria maximum day factor of 1.7 is utilized to determine the Maximum Daily Demand per ERC. THe Maximum Daily Demand per ERC represents the amount of capacity required to serve each ERC. All amounts are rounded and are present 1989 values with no allowance for future inflation. One Harvard Circle P. 0. Box 24600 West Palm Beach, Florida 33416-4600 407/683-3301 Telex 513472 G&J WPB ' Village of Tequesta Attn: Thomas A. Bradford July 7, 1989 - Page 2 Anticipated future regulatory permitting may require treatment system standards in excess of present conventional facilities capabilities. Therefore, we have concluded that it would be prudent to initiate a program with a conventional 1.35 MGD immediate expansion and anticipate the future 1.8 MGD expansion to utilize reverse osmosis. This approach will provide the Water System flexibility to comply with anticipated future regulatory. changes. It is our recommendation that the Village revise the current Capital Connection Charge to $1,500 per ERC. We further recommend that during the first month of each fiscal year the Capital Connection Charge be adjusted pursuant to the change in the Consumers Price Index (CPI), for such annual period preceding the fiscal year. In addition, the Capital Connection Charge should be reviewed whenever any significant changes occur within the Water Systems Capital Improvement Program or rate'structure. • We thank you for the opportunity to be of service in this matter.
