Estimated homeowner shares: Los Olivos presentation lays out per‑EDU and private costs

At the workshop, Wallace Group broke down how district capital costs and private property costs could be allocated. Using an equivalent dwelling unit (EDU) method (the presentation cited roughly 761 EDUs), the consultants reported a capital cost per EDU of about $67,300 under the gravity scenario. "If you are a single family resident, your capital cost share is gonna be 67,300 of that total $52,000,000," Carrie Wagner said.

Wagner and staff distinguished district-owned construction from private property work. They estimated average private residential lateral construction at about $16,400 for a gravity connection and about $39,200 for a STEP installation; commercial property estimates are higher (the presentation cited about $85,000 for some commercial STEP installations). The consultants also presented 30‑year life‑cycle figures: roughly $88,200 per residential EDU for the gravity option and about $97,500 per EDU for STEP, noting those figures exclude financing and some city upgrade costs.
