(1) An estimate of the reasonable cost of the eligible water reclamation project.
(2) An agreement by the municipality to proceed expeditiously with, and complete, the eligible water reclamation project; commence operation of the project in accordance with applicable provisions of law; provide for payment of the municipality’s share of the cost of the project, including principal and interest on any state loan made pursuant to this section; and, if appropriate, apply for and make reasonable efforts to secure federal assistance, other than that available pursuant to the federal Clean Water Act, for the state-assisted project.
