The reduction goal for this category is 5010, which will reduce the usage to 158 gpcd. Most of this reduction is anticipated to come from increased communication and promotion of the existing measures. The 2016 goal is to reduce the projected water use by 200 acre feet. This water savings can be measured in the future by dividing the measured water use by the total population. Non-Residential The Non-Residential category includes commercial businesses, motels, restaurants, and irrigation-only taps that are typically located in HOA open space areas. The use is projected to increase substantially in this area because of the increasing development within the Fort Collins GMA. This creates a larger area for potential water savings than there has been in the past, which will be targeted with numerous new measures and programs. The 2006 per-tap use for non-residential was 1 .3 acre feet. Because the growth in this area may bring higher water-use industries than there have been in the past, we elected to not target a reduction in the per-tap water use. Instead, the goal will be to reduce the 2016 projected use by 112 acre feet. Mobile Home Parks Most of the mobile home parks in ELCO's district boundaries are older and hardly any growth is expected in this category. The savings associated with mobile home parks will be from leak detection and repair in the aging distribution systems and possible sub- metering of the individual mobile home pads. The water use in this category was at 81 gpcd in 2006 and is anticipated to be reduced 5010 to 77 gpcd by 2016. This water Clear Water Solutions, Inc.
