Abstract

In order for the water board to make minor investment plans for financing extension of the network and the replacement of assets over a five-year projection period, a simplified spreadsheet is provided (Annex 1). Minor works could include, for example, extension of the secondary distribution network, construction of new standpipes and individual connections, and replacement of pumping equipment. The main variables in the analysis are (i) the water tariff, (ii) the investment costs, and (iii) the amount of water sold. The data sheet given in Section 3.3 tabulates the input data required by the spreadsheet, and Sections 3.4 and 3.5 provides notes on the use of the spreadsheet. Most of the input data required in Chapter 3 can be found in the data sheets for Chapter 2 (calculating the tariff based on the annual budget), and it is therefore a useful exercise to complete Chapter 2 before moving on to Chapter 3.
