<br />CDIUI <br /> <br />Castle Pines Norlh Metropolitan District <br />Application for Water Efficiency Grant <br /> <br />Generally, demands have increased as the number of homes has:increased~ Total <br />demands in 2002 alld 2003 were relatively high, while in 2004 the demand noticeably <br />decreased. This is likely attributable to customers' response to regional drought <br />awareness campaigns, the District's efforts to encourage conservation, and an <br />abnormally wet year in 2004, which reduced the need for irrigation. DemaIlds have <br />increased since 2004. This may indicate that customers are returning to pre-drought <br />water use practices, typical of a drought memory effect. <br /> <br />Per Capita Annual Water Demands <br /> <br />Estimates of per capita water demands (gallons per capita per day, or gpcd) are <br />shown in Figure 2. As shown in the equation below}' per capita demands for the <br />service area were estimated by dividing potable system water demands (i.e., total well <br />production minus water used by the Ridge Golf Course) by the total population. Total <br />potable water demands include irrigation of District-owned property and irrigation of <br />homeovvn.er association (HOA) properties. The total population includes employment <br />in the school and commercial sector, residents" and an estimated amount of additional <br />people/traffic using the District's commercial services (restaurants, car washes, etc.). <br /> <br />Total annual well production - (Annual golf course water use) <br />Per capita demands <br />T atal popu lation x 365 days <br /> <br />250 <br /> <br />211 <br /> <br />204 <br /> <br />~ 200 <br />"'C <br />o <br />c.. <br />~ <br />en <br />-g 150 <br /><<J <br />E <br />Q) <br />Q <br />~ 100 <br />.0.. <br />ro <br />U <br />....... <br />(1) <br />0.. 50 <br /> <br />195 <br /> <br /> <br />.1t @: <br />0.m' <br />t~ <br /> <br />178 <br /> <br />157 <br /> <br />151 <br /> <br />140 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />o I <br /> <br />1998 <br /> <br />1999 <br /> <br />2000 <br /> <br />2002 <br /> <br />2003 <br /> <br />2005 <br /> <br />2006 <br /> <br />2004 <br /> <br />2001 <br /> <br />Figure 2 <br />Daily Per Capita Water Demands for District Setvice Area (excluding Ridge Golf Course water use) <br /> <br />3 <br /> <br />C~DOCl1ME.NTS ANO SETTINGS\BLACKCA'OESKTOP\CPNGRANT\WATER EFt=.CI~NCY GRANT PROGRAM APPLlCATION.DOC <br />
