Slingshot Option 264.2 gallons of water/day Cost - $100,000 Possum Engineering12
13
Heat Exchange Option Possum Engineering13 Cost - $20,000 ROI - $1,200/year (Cutting Power Bill by 42-50%) 15,000 linear feet of pipe lay coiled 10 feet underground in horizontal slinky loop Paxman Heating installed Dr. Astle’s system
14
Water Purification Option Possum Engineering14 Total Cost ≈ $15,500 ROI ≈ $420/year (If 50% of monthly water use provided by RO System) COST ≈ $500 COST ≈ $14,250 COST ≈ $250
15
Legal Constraints Possum Engineering15 After receiving all Water Users' Claims, the State Engineer then prepares a proposed determination of water rights of all water users in the drainage or sub- drainage that is served on water users and filed in court
16
Final Recommendation Possum Engineering16 Ground Heat Exchange System Benefits: Cut Power Bill in half Investment Cost: $20,000 Return on Investment: $1,200 per year Pay for itself in 16 years
