In passing on an application from a political subdivision for financial assistance for a water supply project, the board shall consider:
(1) the needs of the area to be served by the water supply project, the benefit of the water supply project to the area, the relationship of the water supply project to the overall, statewide water needs, and the relationship of the water supply project to the state water plan; and
(2) the availability of revenue to the political subdivision, from all sources, for the ultimate repayment of the cost of the water supply project, including interest.
