Expansions and Capital Cost. The Project is permitted for 30 MGD and is proposed to be developed in phases, the first of which will provide approximately 15.15 MGD of finished water availability for Project Participants. Some components of the Project will be constructed to accommodate water production expansion and future development. Therefore, Project Participants will pay Capital Costs and commit to pay Obligations for certain Project components which will benefit the current Project Participants and the Project Participants of future Project expansions (“Common Capital Components”). For each expansion, the CapitalCosts and Obligation commitments the Project Participants have made for the Common Capital Components will be re-allotted among all Project Participants of any future Project expansion in accordance with the then-current Water Allocation Table, and the then- current Project Participants shall reimburse the initial Project Participants for that portion of the Capital Costs and Obligation commitments paid for Common Capital Components which benefit the expansion Project Participants. Each time there is an expansion there shall be a similar re-allotment of Capital Costs and Obligation commitments for Common Capital Components based on the new Water Allocation Table and a reimbursement to existing Project Participants for Capital Costs and Obligation commitments paid for Common Capital Components which benefit the expansion Project Participants.
