Dnring the District's buLst <br />periods, current use does not exceed 5.9 MGD. Five treated water storage tanks Jre <br />located throughout the service area, ranging in size from 0.5 to 2.5 million gallon~. <br />Water is delivered throughout NTM's service area by 78.7 miles of water mains. <br /> <br />In 2006 NTM diverted the largest volume in its history for a total of2,800 acre-fe1et,just <br />under half of its entitlement. At pre-drought (2000) per capita water use levels, tHe 100% <br />build out scenario (all developable acreage at 3 houses per acre and 2.62 people pbr <br />household) would translate into a total annual water demand of over 9,000 afper year. <br />Assuming full use of the 6,000 af from Denver, this would require an additional 31,000 af <br />from other water supplies. Even assuming 2006 per capita water use rates, at buird out <br />NTM would require an additional 1,400 af of additional sJ.lpply annually. As the humber <br />of residents in Colorado and along the Front Range grows, new water supplies arJ <br />increasingly difficult and expensive to acquire. NTM recognizes that it must inclhde <br />water conservation as an essential tool in managing current and future demands. <br /> <br />Waste Water Treatment and Storage <br />NTM contracts with Metro Wastewater for all wastewater treatment. NTM is responsible <br />for wastewater lines and pump stations required to deliver waste to Metro's system. As <br />NTM's service area continues to grow, so will the need for new and expanded wa~tewater <br />conveyance lines. <br /> <br />6. Description of the proiect plan: <br /> <br />North Table Mountain Water and Sanitation District proposes to develop a Waterl <br />Conservation Plan using the CWCB's "Water Conservation Plan Development Guidance <br />Document" as a guide. NTM may adjust sections and worksheets as necessary tol <br />represent its specific circumstances. NTM's Water Conservation Plan will be designed to <br />meet the requirements of House Bills 91..1154 and 04-1365. <br /> <br />NTM will provide project oversight and proposes to hire Hydrosphere Resource <br />Consultants to assist in the development of the Water Conservation Plan. Hydrosphere <br />has experience working with the CWCB's guidance document and in writing plan's that <br />meet and exceed State requirements. Table 5 below includes a detailed descriptidn of <br />work to be performed under each Project task including responsibilities, deliveraThles and <br />milestones. Attachment C provides additional details regarding the roles of specirc <br />NTM and Hydrosphere project team members. Table 6 is a proposed Project schedule <br />including progress reports to the CWCB. Attachment F is the Project budget, inc[uding a <br />breakdown of hours by organization and staff member for each task. Funding soilirces are <br />listed in Table 7. <br /> <br />All tasks generally follow the CWCB guidance document unless otherwise noted. The <br />level of analysis undertaken in any specific task will depend on the availability of <br />existing information. Extensive new research or financial and/or planning analys1es that <br />would be more appropriately addressed in a Master Plan will not be completed u~der this <br />Project due to the resources this would require. <br />
