City of Rifle Water Conservation Plan <br />Final Report -July 2008 <br />• The City Manager, in the event of a water shortage, may regulate the use of water for <br />irrigation and other non-essential purposes; this includes the setting of special hours, <br />dates, or locations for certain water uses. <br />Water Planning Initiatives <br />The City completed water and wastewater system master plans in 2006. These plans <br />focused on water supply-side (production/distribution infrastructure) solutions to meet <br />projected future demands over the next 30+ years and at a "buildout" condition with a <br />population of approximately four times the current one. Water quality and regulatory <br />compliance was considered in detail. The plans touched on water supplylwater resources <br />as well as impacts on water rates and fees but did not include comprehensive water <br />resource or financial plans. Potential water conservation effects were not considered. A <br />goal of this plan is to re-project water infrastructure needs given possible water <br />conservation effects on demand. <br />Table 1-3: 2007 Water Sales Revenue b Customer Class <br />Customer Class/Gate o Total Revenue % of Total <br />Standard Servcce Connections <br />Commercial $402,798 18.0% <br />Government $183,971 8.2% <br />City Building $19,753 0.9% <br />City PropertylParks $ 42,570 1.9% <br />Other Government $ 76,038 3.4% <br />Public School $ 45,610 2.0% <br />Industrial (excludes CoGen) $ 4,783 0.2% <br />Irrigation/Sprinkler $ 36,407 1.6% <br />Residential $1,356,772 60.7% <br />Duplex 1 Meter $ 24,228 1.1 <br />Duplex 2 Meters $18,359 0.8% <br />Mobile Home Park $123,099 5.5% <br />Multi Family Multi Meter $ 96,788 4.3% <br />Multi Family 1 Meter $101,809 4.6% <br />Single Family $ 992,489 44.4% <br />Other Sales <br />CoGen Plant $146,350 6.5% <br />Bully Water (hydrant meters) $ 83,292 3.7% <br />Bulk Water (vending machine) $ 20,542 0.9% <br />Sub-total Other Sales $ 250,184 11.2% <br />Total ~ 2,234,926 100.0% <br />Current Conservation and Drou_hg t Mitigation Activities <br />The City does not currently, nor has it historically had, a water conservation plan or <br />program.
