Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
The inability to reasonably finance project construction
				  costs from other sources will be determined by the Department to have been
				  established when the Department finds that all of the following conditions

				the Federal Government is not available on a timely basis commensurate with the
				need for the project.
(b) The
				applicant cannot market bonds or obtain loans at an interest rate which will

				denial of a bond issue where voter approval is required to issue bonds does not
				in itself demonstrate inability to reasonably finance from other
				sources.
(c) The supplier has no
				other funds, or sources of funds available on reasonable terms, to finance the
				proposed project. The supplier shall finance that portion of the proposed
				project for which it is able to obtain funds on reasonable terms.

				services of the Fiscal Agent shall be continued until the loan has been fully
				repaid.
(3) The term of the loan
				shall be as short as possible considering the ability of the supplier and its
				customers to repay the loan. If the supplier is a regulated public utility and

				make the semi-annual payments when due. A reserve of two semi-annual payments
				shall be accumulated during the first ten-year period for all repayment methods
				except those based on the quantity of water used, for which a reserve of four
				semi-annual payments shall be accumulated during the first ten years. Half of
				the required reserve balance shall be on deposit by the end of the first five
				years of the repayment period, and the full required reserve balance shall be
				on deposit by the end of the second five years. Reserves shall be maintained at
				these levels thereafter until the loan is repaid in full.

				for a lien on the domestic water system and associated facilities and
				improvements, and liens on other real and personal property belonging to the
				supplier.
(2) Every supplier
				receiving a loan shall retain a Fiscal Agent to collect principal and interest
				payments from the supplier and transmit them to the State when due. The
				services of the Fiscal Agent shall be continued until the loan has been fully
				repaid. A public agency may employ the services of its county controller or
				treasurer as Fiscal Agent.
(3) The
				term of the loan shall be as short as possible considering the ability of the
				supplier and its customers to repay the loan. If the impact of the loan on
				water rates would be significant, consideration may be given, in setting the
				term of the loan, to the estimated useful life of the project to be financed
				with the loan proceeds.
(4) The
				contract shall require the supplier to deposit with its Fiscal Agent sufficient
				reserves to assure that funds will be available to make the semiannual payments
				when due. A reserve of two semiannual payments shall be accumulated during the
				first ten-year period for all repayment methods except those based on the
				quantity of water used, for which a reserve of four semiannual payments shall
				be accumulated during the first ten years. Half of the required reserve balance
				shall be on deposit by the end of the second five years. Reserves shall be
				maintained at these levels thereafter until the loan is repaid in
				full.

				Utilities Commission may serve as Project Feasibility Meetings.
(b) Before a Project Feasibility Meeting, the
				supplier shall:
(1) Make available
				information describing the project in a form and location that will enable the
				water users to review it and to make appropriate comments. The information must
				be made available for a period of at least fifteen days before the Project
