Therefore consideration of irriga­tion water is not included in this analysis. The following table shows the method of determining the cost of water per thousand gallons, based upon the assumptions set forth above and upon our estimate of the cost of construction of the facilities shown on the attached drawing. Cost per Cons.Cost Annual Cost 1000-gal I---------- $------------ I----- Supply and Treatment (1)--------- Plant Operation and Main­tenance (incl. charge 106,000 0.0175 for water) 300.000 0.0495 Sub Total Transmission $406,000 0.0670 Reservoirs and Storage tanks 600,000 32,600 0.0054 Pipe Lines 750,000 52,800 0.0087 Pumps, etc. Operation and 50,000 6,000 0.0010 Maintenance 25,000 0.0041 Pump 20.000 0.0033 Sub Total Distribution (2) $542,000 0.0895 System Operation and 600,000 42,400 0.0070 Maintenance 20.000 0.0033 TOTAL $604,800 0.0998 Notes: (1) Based upon no initial eost for supply and treatment facilities. Annual eost shown is a sinkin g fund for replacement. If plant is purchased, the cost per 1000 gal. must be increased by #0.006 for each $1,000,000 of purchase price.
