NR 854.04 (2) or (3), a plan shall include a cost-effectiveness analysis of identified water supply alternatives for meeting the water demand for the planning period. A cost-effectiveness analysis shall include all of the following:

NR 854.06(1) (1) Identification and analysis of potential water supply alternatives, which shall include the sources identified under s. NR 854.05 (7).

NR 854.06(2) (2) A summary of the expected water demand reduction associated with implementing water conservation and efficiency measures as identified in the public water supply system’s water conservation plan developed under s. NR 852.07, including a summary of the cost savings as determined under s. NR 852.09 or 852.10.

NR 854.06(3) (3) A description of the sustainability of each water supply alternative in consideration of existing regional water need assessments and the extent to which each alternative identified under s. NR 854.05 (7) is consistent with existing plans under s. NR 854.05 (8).
