18 <br /> All parcels that already have access to water and/or sewer on the maps are identified in <br /> a black crosshatch; some of these parcels are currently connected to OWASA's system <br /> and some are not. <br /> The Proposed Utility District would extend water and sewer to all parcels within the <br /> purple boundary. The newly Proposed Utility District almost doubles the amount of <br /> sewer that would need to be installed from what was proposed in May 2012. This <br /> expanded area increased the lineal feet of sewer extension required from 3.6 miles to <br /> 6.8 miles and added 4.4 miles of water main extension. The conceptual layouts for <br /> sewer and water are based on the parcel boundaries as they are currently configured <br /> and whether or not a structure or multiple structures are currently located on a parcel <br /> was not considered. <br /> The Proposed Utility District includes all parcels and the cost per parcel in some areas <br /> will be much greater than others. Exhibit 5 (High Cost Areas) identifies 5 areas where <br /> the cost of new water and/or sewer infrastructure/parcel will be the highest. If the high <br /> cost areas are removed until additional development occurs in the Proposed Utility <br /> District the initial cost of the Utility District would go from $17.6 million to $13.4 million. <br /> This represents a 24% decrease in the initial cost, which could be the final phase of the <br /> Utility District, and would eliminate water and/or sewer service to 22 parcels. The cost <br /> for the High Cost Areas is outlined below: <br /> Proposed Utility District Less High Cost Areas <br /> Total Water Cost Less High Cost Areas <br /> Total Overall Cost for Water $ 5,991,251 <br /> Minus High Cost Areas for Water $ 1,826,331 <br /> Total Water $ 4,164,920 <br /> Total Sewer Cost Minus High Cost Areas <br /> Total Overall Cost for Sewer $ 11,688,811 <br /> Minus High Cost Areas for Sewer $ 2,465,767 <br /> Total Sewer $ 9,223,044 <br /> Total Water&Sewer Cost Minus High Cost Areas $ 13,387,964 <br /> 12 <br />
