c) FCLWD current per capita usage is 213 gpcd with an average of 198 gpcd over
the last five years. This per-capita use is for all taps including commercial and
agricultural uses, which may skew the data. However, the taps are currently
categorized by size only and do not easily reflect residential use. The District
realizes the importance of water conservation, particularly as it grows and
resources become more limited. The District estimates an overall reduction in
water use of 10 to 15% in a ten year planning period as a result of this effort;
however, this goal will be further evaluated and refined during the planning
process.

d) FCLWD is a special district established in accordance with Title 32 of the
Colorado Revised Statutes. The District is governed by five directly elected
Board members. The Board appoints a general manager who is responsible
for the day-to-day operations of the District.

As a quasi-municipal corporation the District provides domestic water service
and fire flows to homes and businesses within its 60 square mile service area.
The service area incorporates portions of the cities of Fort Collins and
Loveland as well as parts of the towns of Timnath and Windsor and Larimer
County and lies in the South Platte Basin. The Statewide Water Supply
Initiative conducted by CWCB identified a 22 % gap in this basin between
future need for water and indentified sources to fill that need. Water
conservation from the District can go toward filling that gap.

The District receives its treated water from the Soldier Canyon Treatment
Plant, which is jointly owned by the Tri-Districts of FCLWD, North Weld County
Water District (NWCWD) and East Larimer County Water District (ELCO).
Water is delivered to the plant from Horsetooth Reservoir which is part of the
Colorado-Big Thompson Project. The District can also bring water to the plant
through the jointly owned Pleasant Valley Pipeline. The District exchanges
