[SYSTEM AND DELIVERY CHARGES]
The unit delivery cost for delivery of recovered CAP water through the NwRRDS is estimated based
on the 50-Year operation, Maintenance, and Life Cycle Costs study (westLand Resources, Inc.,
2016).

C.2 Estimated Power Rate $88.88 $0
C.3 Estimated Chemical Rate $13.17 $13.17
Total Usage Rate
$133.65 $42.67
C.1. Each Party will pay the operating Agent a base rate for each unit of CAP water allocated to
each Party, currently estimated at $31.60 per acre-foot (oro Valley and MDwID) and $29.50
per acre-foot (Marana). This rate is established for base load capacity using the fixed annual
maintenance costs as identified in the westLand study, excluding electrical, chemical, and
replacement costs (oro Valley and MDwID) and excluding electrical, well maintenance,
chemical, and replacement costs (Marana), divided by the total allocated capacity of 10,400
acre-feet per year.
C.2. Each Party (excluding Marana)will pay the operating Agent a power charge for each acre-foot
of CAP water delivered to the Point of Entry for each Party. The current power charge is
estimated at $88.88 per acre-foot, and is included as a component of the total usage rate. The
cost of energy supply is based upon the current rate agreement between TRICO Electric
Cooperative, Inc. and MDwID divided by 8,000 acre-feet of allocated capacity per year. Power
costs will be calculated annually.
C.3. Each party will pay the operating Agent a chemical charge for each acre-foot of CAP water
delivered to the Point of Entry for each Party. The current chemical charge is estimated at
$13.17 per acre-foot, and is included as a component of the total usage rate. The cost of
chemicals is estimated using the estimated annual cost of chemicals divided by the total
allocated capacity of 10,400 acre-feet per year. Chemical costs will be calculated annually.
The Operating Agent will be responsible for reading the meter and billing the Parties for water
delivered. Payments due will be invoiced monthly by the operating Agent.
The methodology outlined in this Exhibit C will serve as the mechanism by which costs will be
determined. Estimated annual costs will be updated in accordance with this Agreement.
