WRWSA – RWSPU 2005 Population & Water Demands

WRWSA – RWSPU 2005 Total Water Demands

WRWSA – RWSPU 2005 Conclusions Water Demand Water Demand –All water use sectors are predicted to increase –Total demand – mgd (55 mgd/40% increase) –Public supply demand – 38 mgd/69% of total demand increase Traditional Water Sources Traditional Water Sources –Groundwater is sufficient for current demand, but may be limited for future development due to MFL’s –Surface water is a possible future source Driven by flows and location to demand Driven by flows and location to demand Special attention by District’s initiatives Special attention by District’s initiatives

WRWSA – RWSPU 2005 Conclusions Alternative Water Sources Alternative Water Sources –Some with limited viability compared with traditional GW & SW sources –Clearly favored by the District’s –Stormwater capture incorporation in large-scale developments Reclaimed Water Reclaimed Water –Potential both based on both existing and future flows –Required as part of the WUP process –Positive impact on projected water demands

WRWSA – RWSPU 2005 Conclusions Water Conservation Water Conservation –Cost effective demand management tool –Varying degrees of water conservation within WRWSA –High per capita rates within the WRWSA –Regulatory requirements through the WUP process
