Water Demand Forecast

Based on studies prepared by the City of Fort Collins Advanced Planning Department,
ELCO projects build out of its service area to include approximately 47,000 people and
over 18,700 customer accounts. These figures are based on information from the 2003
City of Fort Collins BLI, existing Fort Collins development and land use plans (including
the 1-25 Sub-Area Plan, the Mulberry Corridor Plan and the Mountain Vista Sub-Area
Plan) and current Larimer County zoning regulations.

In part, the BLI is an inventory of vacant, partially vacant and re-developable land within
the Fort Collins GMA. It indicates areas with potential for future development and
provides information on the extent of that development based on zoning regulations.
District population and tap increases will be attributable to growth both inside and
outside of the Fort Collins GMA.

The BLI identified each undeveloped acre within ELCO's service area as Commercial,
Employment, Industrial, Low Density Mixed Use Neighborhoods (LMN), or Medium
Density Mixed Use Neighborhoods (MMN). Acres designated as LMN (single family)
are required by the City to have a minimum of five housing units per acre. Acres
designated as MMN (multi-family) are required to have a minimum of 12 housing units
per acre. Account projections for single family and multi-family acres are based on
these density requirements.

Population projections are based on the most current Census data, which indicates a
population of 2.58 people per housing unit for areas within the District. Based on the
existing population and the density requirements for future development, ELCO
