Total Cost = 1384.45

Notes: 1) Cost of Concrete (28 day pressure rating of 2500 PSI) = $180.65 per yd^3 (Includes: material, labor, and equimpment)
2) Pipe size is the biggest pipe size involved in the fitting.
3) Above cost estimate includes the four 90 bend thrust blocks of the
pump house (use 6" pipe block).
4) A 6" Tee thrust block was added to account for fitting to connect pumphouse to mainline.
