Extension of water service into the northwest areas is expected to require a$28.2 million investment (in
<br />today's dollars) within the first five years. If the ERMU or the City issued $28.2 million in bonds to fund the
<br />initial project, the annual debt service would be approximately $2.2 million assuming an interest rate of
<br />4.5% and a term of 20 years. If development does not occur at a pace to generate $2.2 million in annual
<br />fee revenue, the ERMU would need to increase water rates to make the annual debt payment.

<br />5.4 Potential Development Fees
<br />The City and ERMU's financial risks are also dependent on having competitive development fees. If the
<br />development fees are too high, they may push the sale price of a home above the Elk River market, making
<br />development less financially feasible and slowing the pace of development.
