<br />;; <br /> <br />Step 2 - Characterize Water Use and Demand Forecast <br /> <br />Purpose <br />The activities described under this task will provide information on the City's existing and <br />projected water use. <br /> <br />Tasks <br />2.1 Characterize current water use - in coordination with the City's public works and <br />finance departments, review sales records, production and treatment records and billing <br />records to summarize water use by segment. Included in the discussion will be <br />estimations of indoor and outdoor water use and potable and non-potable water use. <br /> <br />2.2 Select forecasting method - A demand forecasting method will be selected and <br />described. <br /> <br />2.3 J?repare demand forecast - estimate future water demand by segment or customer class. <br />Worksheet 2-1 will be used as a guide. <br /> <br />Step 3 - Profile Proposed Facilities <br /> <br />Purpose <br />The activities described under this task will provide information on the City's facility needs. <br />Note that the City has recently completed a new water treatment plant which provides <br />capacity to expected build-out. Therefore, facility costs are not expected to be a key driver <br />in the planning process. The expanded use of raw water for landscape irrigation is expected <br />to be a key planning issue, since increased use of raw water provides additional imstream <br />flow within areas with critical and/ or important habitat. <br /> <br />Tasks <br />3.1 Identify and cost potential facility needs - identify and describe options to improve and <br />add capacity to the existing raw water system to meet the water demands outlined in <br />Step 2. Worksheet 3-1 will be used as a guide for this subtask. <br /> <br />Step 4 - Identify Conservation Goals <br /> <br />Pu~pose <br />The activities described under this task will identify conservation goals for the City. <br /> <br />Tasks <br />4.1 Identify purpose for water conservation savings - including use of saved water to <br />support growth, improved water supply reliability and improved local instream flows. <br /> <br />4.2 Identify areas of water supply key savings - identify water savings needs and <br />opportunities by water use segment, based on recent growth, conversion of tTeated to <br />raw water use, and expected impacts of measures and programs. <br /> <br />4.3 Develop preliminary water conservation goals - working with City staff, develop water <br />conservation goals. Areas for water conservation will be identified. A specific water <br />savings target, including percentage of water savings, timeframe during which water <br />savings will occur, as well as how the savings will be measured will be identified. <br />
