To project for future water demands, Harvey Economics first <br />projected potable demands from the residential and commercial sectors using these projected <br />population figures. Harvey Economics assumed that these sectors would use 190 gallons, the <br />average total water use per capita per day, which excludes Cargill Meat Solutions. Harvey <br />Economicssecondly assumed that Cargill Meat Solutions’ potable and non-potable use would <br />remain constant through 2050. Harvey Economics assumed that the 1996 level ofCargill Meat <br />Solutions water use, or 575 MG, which is their highestuse in recent history, for long term <br />projections. Third, Harvey Economics assumed that the City would begin serving potable water <br />to Leprino Foods in November, 2006. These forecasts translate into potable water demand <br />projectionsof 406 acre-feet per year in 2005 rising to 504 acre-feet per year by 2010 when the <br />City would be serving Leprino Foods water.Finally, Harvey Economics assumed that non- <br />potable irrigation water use would increase with the growth in population at 1.7%. <br />Table 2i – Water Demand Projections for the City, 2005 to 2050, in Acre-Feet <br />ResidentialCargillIrrigationTotal <br />TotalTotal Water <br />and OtherCargillLeprinoNon-Non-Water <br />YearPotableRequirements <br />Commercial(af)(af)potablepotableDeliveries <br />(af)(af) <br />(af)(af)(af)(af) <br />2005240018000420030055051005400 <br />201026001800500490030060058006200 <br />201529001800500520030065062006600 <br />202031001800500540030071064006900 <br />202534001800500570030077068007300 <br />203037001800500600030084071007700 <br />203540001800500630030091075008100 <br />204044001800500670030099080008600 <br />2045480018005007100300110085009100 <br />2050520018005007500300120090009600 <br />Source: Harvey Economics, 2004. <br />City of Fort Morgan Water Conservation PlanPage 20 <br />
