Demand 1970 11.0 m.g.d. 3.7 m.g.d. 6,5 m.g.d, 1,0 m.g.d. 22.2 m.g.d. Average demand - 16.6 m.g.d. - 6060 Million Gal per yr. 2. That the interest rate for amortization and for sinking fund is 3-1 !z per cent. 3. That the economic life and therefore the period of amortization of the proposed facilities is as follows: a.
