We arrive at these costs by assessing only the cost of a nomi.^.al 3 -f -c' <br />water main at this time and provide the additional funding to a 20 -inch <br />line from impact fees. This approach is being utilized as the Master - <br />planned line is not necessitated until past 2005. In lieu of constructing <br />two 'lines in this area; i.e., an 8 -inch assessment line and a future <br />%faster -planned line, we are recommending oversizing by the County at this <br />The estimated cost per square foot is $0.076320 (rounded). The attached <br />map displays the area to benefit from the assessment project. This project <br />is to be paid through the assessment of property owners along the proposed <br />water line route. In the interim, financing will be from the assessment <br />fund after transfer of the cost of the Master Plan oversizing from the <br />impact fee fund.
