The <br />District will be the priInary author of the dOCUll1ent and YTO will provide technical <br />information that is required for the Plan. rrhe total cost for the Plan development will be <br />$22,029.

Summary <br /> <br />The St. Charles Mesa Water District is located in the Arkansas River Basin~ The <br />Arkansas Basin State Water Supply Initiative (SWSI) Roundtable participants developed <br />water supply options for the Basin. Patticipants sought ways to meet multiple objectives <br />with collaborative solutions. '"[he decisions were based on shared, not individual, needs. <br />Strategies include enlarging existing storage reservoirs, acquiring agricultural water <br />rights and transferring then1 to municipal and industrial use, and enhancing water <br />conservation and reuse progran1S. Current and planned water projects and rnanagelnent <br />options are expected to supply approximately 80 percent of the additional 630,000 acre- <br />feet of water needed in the basin by 2030. In spite of the progress, SWSI found that there <br />are not fim1 plans for the remaining 20 percent, or 126,000 acre-feet per year, of <br />municipal and industrial water needed by 2030~ <br /> <br />By implementing the water conservation plan the District will have an opportunity to use <br />their water supply more efficiently and wisely. This will enable the water supply to <br />stretch farther, providing lllore purpose and services without burde11ing an already over- <br />appropriated basin~ <br /> <br />Page 6 of 10 <br />
