==Life Cycle Costs==

Below are capital and life cycle cost estimates for an [[Rainwater harvesting|Underground Rainwater Cistern]], Non-Infiltrating configuration over 25- and 50-year time periods. The estimates of maintenance and rehabilitation (life cycle) costs represent net present values. Operation and maintenance costs are predicted to represent 18% of total life cycle costs over the 25-year evaluation period, and increase to 24% of total life cycle costs over the 50-year period, due to increased levels of litter removal, watering (establishment period - years 1 & 2 / annually and / drought watering) cleaning out and vacuuming of the catchbasin, mowing, replacement of sod, weeding and pruning of the BMP's planted [[vegetation]].

The estimates of maintenance and rehabilitation (life cycle) costs represent net present values. Operation and maintenance costs are predicted to represent 18% of total life cycle costs over the 25-year evaluation period, and increase to 26% of total life cycle costs over the 50-year period, due to increased levels of litter removal, cleaning out of tank, cleaning the in-line filter, replacing components (pump and pressure tank), cistern pump performance testing.
