Capital cost estimates are presented using <br /> an inflation factor of 3%. For comparison, Table 7 presents the estimated current replacement <br /> value of the regional wastewater system. <br /> Total projected capital cost for 2016 to 2040 is estimated at $5 billion. On an annual spending <br /> basis, with adjustment for inflation, this equals the total level of spending from 1970 to 2015. <br /> Projected capital investment by type of infrastructure is 64% interceptors and 36% treatment. <br /> Investment by objective is approximately 80%for asset preservation, 10% for quality <br /> improvement, and 10% for growth. These costs exclude costs associated with potential future <br /> regulatory requirements, which are discussed later. <br /> Capital improvements for the regional wastewater system are primarily financed by Metropolitan <br /> Council wastewater bonds and Minnesota Public Facilities Authority loans. Bonds and loans <br /> are repaid using wastewater fees. <br /> 38 <br />
