NOTE: We made corrections to slides 14 and 15 regarding the 2025 Capital Assessment cost plus interest. Simply stated, the 2025 assessment will be lower than the 2026-2065 average annual assessment. Going forward the average annual assessment will be will closer to the estimate shown in the map. We will add the 2025 Capital Assessment plus interest and the average annual Capital Assessment plus interest for 2026-2065 to the map by May 9th.
