![Page 8: Firm Introductory Presentation CRWA Annual Conference … · 2020. 1. 23. · CRWA Annual Conference 11.06.2014 2016. Title: Slide 1 Author: allison Created Date: 2/15/2016 1:46:09](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051913/600464215d0ff12b782ac471/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Opportunity Cost
• To do it NOW we have to give up the
funds that we have saved, or find new
funds, or borrow funds.
![Page 9: Firm Introductory Presentation CRWA Annual Conference … · 2020. 1. 23. · CRWA Annual Conference 11.06.2014 2016. Title: Slide 1 Author: allison Created Date: 2/15/2016 1:46:09](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051913/600464215d0ff12b782ac471/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Do It NOW
• Give Up =
– Interest on savings
– Too low rates
– Ban on borrowing
• Acquire =
– Enhanced longevity
– Improved efficiency
– Avoid future cost
increases
– Maintain level of
service
![Page 10: Firm Introductory Presentation CRWA Annual Conference … · 2020. 1. 23. · CRWA Annual Conference 11.06.2014 2016. Title: Slide 1 Author: allison Created Date: 2/15/2016 1:46:09](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051913/600464215d0ff12b782ac471/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Opportunity Cost
• To do it LATER we have to plan to pay
higher costs, accept a higher risk of
interruptions of service, steel ourselves
for emergency repairs and replacements

What do I do?
• Become familiar with your system’s current
budget. Understand how opportunity costs
are currently factored in.
• Participate in future budget setting
discussions – you are a stakeholder.

What do I do?

opportunity costs.
• Plan with a long-term view in mind.

What do I do?
• Ask “What are we giving up and what do we
gain?” and
• “Are we happy about what we are giving up
and what we are gaining?” If not then
encourage different choices.
