<br />ARAPAHOE COUNTY WATER AND WASTEWATER AUTHORITY <br /> <br />7.2 PROJECT-SPECIFIC SAVINGS AND SUPPLY-CAPACITY FORECASTS <br /> <br />As discussed in Section 1.6.7 ACWW A is planning a considerable amount of water conservation <br />efforts in conjunction with the JWPPWTP and the expansion of the non-potable water system <br />that were not accounted for in W orl(sheet 7-1 as a credit in water savings. ACWW A performed <br />its own evaluation of water conservation measures as part of the master planning that ultimately <br />lead to the selection of a plan to create the JWPPWTP and to expand the non-potable water <br />system. These projects were found to be the best alternative to efficiently use and conserve the <br />Authority's water supply. <br /> <br />The Authority plans to implement the selected conservation measures from Section 6, however <br />the water savings are not significant enough to warrant a revision in planned capital projects or <br />supply-capacity forecasts. The success of water conservation measures and programs can be <br />highly variable and to over-estimate savings can lead to inadequate planning for water supply <br />infrastructure. Because of this, Worl(sheet 7-2 of the Water Conservation Plan Development <br />Guidance Document has been omitted. <br /> <br />To reduce the forecasts and the planned supply capacity any further would compromise the <br />Authority's ability to provide potable water and therefore would not be in the public's interest <br /> <br />7.3 REVENUE EFFECTS <br /> <br />The selected water conservation measures are not anticipated to greatly impact ACWW A's <br />revenues since the water demand will not be significantly reduced, as indicated in Worl(sheet 7-3 <br />(Appendix A). <br /> <br />Richard P.
