  Under the terms of the agreement, SLWD will pay nine hundred and sixty dollars ($960) per acre-foot ("AF") of Project water delivered to its facilities each year.  The payment will be adjusted annually in accordance with the Bureau of Labor Statistics Water and Sewer Maintenance Index up to a maximum of five percent (5%) per year. In addition, SLWD  obtained the right to acquire specified carry-over storage rights in the Project for $1,500 per AF and an annual management fee of $20 per AF of acquired storage capacity.
