In addition, several <br />people felt that the definititon of the demand area should allow for <br />the inclusion of contracting parties for developing areas, expansion of <br />service areas of participating water districts, and a larger future <br />aggregate service area. Several of the Metropolitan Water Providers <br />noted inaccuracies in current and/or future service area boundaries and <br />remarked that figure 1 includes water suppliers that should not be <br />included in the demand area. <br /> <br />Response <br /> <br /> <br />The geographic area which comprises the EIS demand area is defined <br /> <br /> <br />as those water supply entities which have contracted for future sup- <br /> <br />plies under the Metropolitan Water Agreement. While the ultimate <br /> <br />service area of any water provider may vary from that used for the <br /> <br /> <br />purpose of demand forecasting, the future service areas are believed to <br /> <br />be accurate at this time. The water demand forecasts in the aggregate <br /> <br />represent projected water demand within the outer boundaries of the EIS <br /> <br />demand area. Even though boundaries of individual utility service <br /> <br /> <br />areas might change, the forecasts are valid for the area contained <br /> <br />within the EIS demand area boundaries. <br /> <br />The water suppliers identified for the demand area are those that <br /> <br />have been specified by DRCOG and the OWD as parties to the Metropolitan <br /> <br />6 <br />
