<br />The outdoor water use of non-residential customers has far less impact on facilities <br />sized to meet peak demands. It is primarily the outdoor water use of single family <br />customers that determines the size of ELCO's pipes, pumps, treatment plant and <br />storage tanks. <br /> <br />Water Use Trends <br /> <br />Table 4.1 shows the annual water use by customers in the four primary retail categories <br />served by ELCO: 1) single family, 2) non-residential, 3) multi-family, and 4) mobile <br />homes. Table 4.1 shows that per-capita water use decreased significantly during the <br />drought years of 2002 and 2003. Water use reductions during drought years resulted <br />from imposition of outdoor water use restrictions and extensive media coverage of <br />drought conditions. Customers continued to conserve water in 2004 despite the <br />removal of outdoor water use restrictions by the District. Per-capita water use has <br />rebounded slightly since 2004, but remains below what it was before 2002. <br /> <br />Clear Water Solutions, Inc. <br />East Larimer County Water District <br /> <br />2007 Water Conservation Plan <br /> <br />33 <br />
