Section NR 854.06 - Cost-effectiveness analyses of water supply alternatives for plans requiring department approval If department approval is required under s. NR 854.04 (2) or (3), a plan shall include a cost-effectiveness analysis of identified water supply alternatives for meeting the water demand for the planning period. A cost-effectiveness analysis shall include all of the following:
(1) Identification and analysis of potential water supply alternatives, which shall include the sources identified under s. NR 854.05 (7).(2) A summary of the expected water demand reduction associated with implementing water conservation and efficiency measures as identified in the public water supply system's water conservation plan developed under s. NR 852.07, including a summary of the cost savings as determined under s. NR 852.09 or 852.10.(3) A description of the sustainability of each water supply alternative in consideration of existing regional water need assessments and the extent to which each alternative identified under s. NR 854.05 (7) is consistent with existing plans under s. NR 854.05 (8).(4) An evaluation of existing and anticipated costs associated with each water supply alternative identified under s. NR 854.05 (7). Factors to consider in evaluating costs include: construction; operation and maintenance of wells; surface water intakes; treatment plants; chemical feed equipment; pumping facilities; water mains; storage facilities; and purchase of water from a contract supplier.(5) Conclusions on the identified water supply alternatives and a comparative analysis of the alternatives based on the cost-effectiveness analysis.Wis.
