Total construction costs for <br />sewer and water trunk main and lateral main is $142,000 plus additional engineering costs, <br />inspection costs, administrative costs, attorneys cost and contingencies. The figure to cover these <br />additional costs is about 30% of the construction costs which brings the total to approximately <br />$186,600. The method of assessing is a set unit charge based on the number of acres benefitted. <br />With regard to lateral charge, all project costs associated with laterals are divided by number of <br />acres benefitting. The total amounts are payable over a 10-year period with interest. Adding both <br />lateral and trunk, the total would be approximately $3,200 per acre, per year, for 10 vears. In <br />addition, another charge is collected for Men'opolitan Waste Control Commission (MWQC) based <br />on the type of use.

Assuming the project proceeds, the plans and <br />specs will be ordered about mid-May and it should be under construction mid-June. Construction <br />takes about 45 to 60 days and there will be a final assessment hearing upon completion. The <br />precise assessments will be set at that time.
