<br />The Authority originally purchased 5.25 MGD of Pumping Capacity, or 2.33% of <br />Pumping Capacity, to provide for 125% of Production Capacity for peaking purposes. <br />Pumping Capacity purchased from Galveston totals 3.50 MGD, or 1.56% of Pumping <br />Capacity. Together with Galveston's share, the Authority owns 3.89% of the Plant's <br />original Pumping Capacity, or 8.75 MGD. With the reduction in Pumping Capacity from <br />225 to 200 MGD, the Authority's 3.89% share is reduced to 7.78 MGD. <br />In order to regain Pumping Capacity of 125% of Production Capacity, the Authority will <br />need to buy additional Pumping capacity, at an estimated cost of $0.1289 per gallon. <br />Should the Authority not purchase any additional Production Capacity, it will need to <br />purchase 1.22 MGD of Pumping Capacity, at an estimated cost of $157,258. Should the <br />Authority purchase an additional .6 MGD of Production Capacity, it will need to <br />purchase 1.97 MGD of Pumping Capacity, at a cost of approximately $253,933 (Table 4). <br />Table 4 -Pumping Capacity Analysis <br />Original~MGD New MGD Percentage <br />Total Pumping Capacity 225 200 100 <br />Original LPAWA <br />With Galveston <br />5.25 4.56 2.33 <br />8.75 7.78 3.89 <br />Pumping Capacity at 125% of Production Capacity <br />Current <br />Production Pumping Total Required Additional Required <br />7.2 MGD 7.78 MGD 9.0 MGD 1.22 MGD <br />7.8 MGD 7.78 MGD 9.75 MGD 1.97 MGD <br />RECOMI~~NDATION <br />It is recommended that the Authority purchase an additional 0.6-MGD of Production <br />Capacity ($191,767), and an additional 1.97 MGD of Pumping Capacity ($253,933). <br />Additionally, upgrade costs for the existing facility for the Authority will total $563,378. <br />This results in a total estimated cost to the Authority of $1,009,078. This cost will be <br />offset by Rebate Costs due and.payable to the Authority for is remaining share of excess <br />capacity. Should the Authority sell its remaining share of 3 MGD for the suggest price of <br />$0.566317 per gallon, it would realize a net rebate of $689,873 (See Table 5). Should the <br />Authority sell its unused share for $0.759735 per gallon; it would realize a net rebate of <br />$1,270,127 (See Table 6). <br />6 <br />
