The Capital Improvement Program is developed to match costs against expenses occurring in
               corresponding periods of time whenever possible.  In other words, the development and timing of
               infrastructure improvements is crucial to maintaining current and future developments while maintaining
               or lowering debt ratios. Impact fees offset the amount of funding borrowed in the Construction funds.

               The impact of infrastructure improvements on operating and maintenance costs is evaluated and measured
               annually during the budget development process and during revisions to the Long-Term Financial Plan.
               Operating and  Maintenance cost impacts  in FY  2024-2025  are reflected  in increases in  supply costs,
               staffing increases and in additional service requirements related to expansion of existing facilities, new
               facilities, and transmission lines. Further details can be found in the Capital Projects section of the budget
               document.
