4. In 2007, Evans delivered approximately 2,333 acre-feet of potable water to customers, thus the City is a covered entity. The water use projection is shown in Table 2.

Background characterizing the water system, potential growth and any other pertinent issues that relate to the stated evaluation criteria. a) Per-capita water usage is shown in Table 2. Water delivery information was obtained from the City's billing records. Population data through 2007 were obtained from the City. b) Past, current and predicted population data for the City of Evans through 2025 are shown in Table 3. Past data was obtained from the City and predicted population was estimated using the same growth rates reported in the "Water Supplies and Demands for Participants in the Northern Integrated Supply Project" by Harvey Economics, which was prepared for the purpose and need portion of the EIS permitting document for that project. c) Evan's per-capita water use between 2003 and 2007 averaged 124 gallons per capita per day (GPCD). This per-capita use includes water delivery for all water use including commercial, residential and non-potable uses. Approximately 950/0 of the City's customers are residential. The City realizes the importance of water conservation, particularly as it grows and resources become more limited. The City will target a 150/0 reduction in its overall per- capita water use over a ten-year planning horizon (2009-2018). This would effectively reduce per-capita water use to 105 GPCD. Because this water- savings goal is difficult to estimate prior to the development of a Water @ Clear Water Solutions, Inc. Evans - CWCB Water Conservation Planning Grant Application 4
