Richard P. Arber Associates has experience with the development of construction and total project costs for water and wastewater systems for use with rate studies and financing. The cost of rights-of-way, engineering fees, legal fees and administration are coupled with construction and operation and maintenance (O&M) cost estimates to determine the total project costs for final system configurations and facilities. Alternative mechanisms for recovering costs of systems typically include system development fees (per tap equivalents), user fees and mil levies.
