Hopkins San Marcos, Texas 78666 RE: Determination of Cost Breakdown for Water Distribution System Capital Recovery Fee SAM 84507 Dear A.C.: In accordance with our letter agreement signed January 3, 1984, it is our pleasure to transmit this letter report covering the results of the breakdown on the capital recovery fee system being proposed. Reference is made to the IISan Marcos Water System Studyll performed by Freese and Nichols, Inc. in February, 1983. The costs for construction of the improvements recommended by 1987 in the report were broken down into those costs associated with existing developments, those associated with new growth through 1987, and those costs associated with new growth expected beyond 1987. A summary of these costs is shown on Table 1. The methodology used in developing these costs is delineated in the following paragraphs. The recommended improvements can be divided into three categories, as follows: (1) Water distribution infrastructure improvements; (2) Waterline extensions; and (3) improvements and additions to the distribution facilities. For a summary of the classification of the recommended pipelines, please refer to the map accompanying this letter. The lines highlighted in green or yellow are necessary infrastructure improvements to serve existing and future development up through the population estimated for the year 2000. Those lines which are primarjly benefici al to existing developments are shaded yellow. The cost of these lines has been allocated to existing users only. Those lines which benefit existing developments and are also designed to serve new growth are shaded green. The cost of these lines has been divided equally between existing users and new developments. Since these infrastructure improvements will benefit all users, including those represented by growth beyond 1987, the pipeline costs for future development have been allocated on the basis of projected populations. The projected populations for 1987 and 2000 are 28,000 and 46,000, respectively. The estimated 1983 population is 25,000. The resulting increases in population are 3,000 for the period 1983-1987, and 18,000 for the period 1988-2000. Consequently, the pipeline costs for new developments were divided in the ratio of 3,000 512/451,7955 ONE HIGHLAND CEtHER SUITE 560 314 HIGHLAND MALL BLVD AUSTIN. TEXAS 78752
