==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 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.

The estimates of maintenance and rehabilitation (life cycle) costs represent net present values. Operation and maintenance costs are predicted to represent 46% of total life cycle costs over the 25-year evaluation period, and increase to 60% 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.
