MEETING ADJOURNED 10 : 30PM 4 - 4 7 . • THE PROPOSED PLAN After reviewing the financial aspects of constructing all collecting mains as shown on the master plan by study areas , the Lansing water and sewer advisory committee , upon recommendation of the engineer , agreed that construction of some of . the proposed sewers should be deferred so that present costs could be reduced . This means that a few existing houses within the study area will not be benefitted at the present time under the proposed plan . CONCLUSIONS 1 . To sewer " core Area A , " the estimated maximum and minimum costs to the homeowner . of $ 167 and $ 151 per year appear very favorcble and financially feasible . 2 . To sewer the entire study area by the proposed plan , the estimated maximum and minimum costs to the homeowner of $ 2_ ` and $ 241 • er year are less favorable and the financial feasibility less certain , particularly in light of the present economic situation . However , it can be seen that the cost for " going it alone " in Areas B , C , and D is much higher yet . As a comparison , the total cost to the average home - owner in Lansing Sewer District No . 2 was estimated at $ 159 per year in the Spring of 1971 when the District was formed . With inflation in construction costs , a comparable estimate for 1975 would range between $ 220 and $ 240 per year. 3 . To sewer either Area A or the entire study area , the effect 411 on present total costs to residents of existing Sewer Districts 1 and 2 for their share of the cost of interceptors and trunk mains appears very minor varying from a minimum of $ 7 per year less to $ 10 more depending on the extent of County Sewer District participation .
