AboUl86 percent offuturc demand is for potable needs and the remainder for non-potable uscs. Water Need. Broomfield's existing water supplies are suffi.cient to meet current water needs during average years of precipitation_ Beginning in 2005, water demand is expected to exceed available fmn water supplies during dry years, depending on c- ST deli.veri.es. Broom.field's projected 2035 water requirements exceed available fio:n supplies by about 10,700 AF. Firming Broomfield's Windy Gap water would provide a firm annual yield of about 5,600 AF to meet potable needs plus sufficient reusable cffl.uent (3,100 AF) to meet the majority of anticipated 1100- potable demands. A firm Windy Gap water supply would provide Broomfield about 23 percent of the City's 2035 water supply requirement, not counting the pot.ential reuse of Windy Gap water. 9.2 Central Weld County Water District Central Weld County Water District (CWCWD) was created in 1965 to serve a large rural portion of Weld County. The CWCWD's total service area is about 250 square miles generally located south of Greeley and spanning along the South Platte Rive.r to the area along 1-25 south ofDacono. Existing Watet Supply. The CWCWD's water supply consists of two main water categories: water owned by CWCWD which is treated and delivered to rural customers; and water that is transferred to CWCWD, treated, and delivered to towns in the service area. The primary source of water owned by CWCWD is C-BT Project water, a small number of ditch shares in the Greeley-Loveland Irrigation Company, and 1 unit of Windy Gap water. The CWCWD docs not have a firm source of supply for reuse because 99 percent of its water supply is from the C~BT Project, which is not reusable, Additionally, because CWCWD serves primarily rural customers with its Windy Gap water and CWCWD does not operate a wastewater facility, there arc no plans for reuse of Windy Gap water. CWCWD finn water supply is 2,786 AF. In addition to the water owned by CWCWD, it receives, treats, and delivers C-BT water to eight small comm.l.lnitie~ Dacono, Kersey, Milliken, LaSalle, Gilcrest, Plattcvillc, Left Hand, and Aristocrat. In 2005, CWCWD began providing water to the communities of Firestone and Frederick. TIle water supply and demand for Firestone and Frederick were not included in the Comparison of Future Water Demands with 2005 Annual F'rm Yield.
