WATER CONSERVATION PLAN 2008 fixtures are replaced with those that meet current efficiency standards. Forecasting was completed through the year 2017, a shorter time period than typical master planning studies, which reflects the continual monitoring and verification effort that is required for conservation planning and implementation. The following population projections, presented in Table 11, were used based on the RWMP. The City of Longmont Planning Department noted that these projections were based on a buildout population of 104,000 being reached in 2025, and due to a number of land use amendments, the buildout population has been adjusted to 111,618 as of June 2007. Since the rate of growth was not assumed to change the population projections through 2020, the projections contained in the RWMP are considered valid, but the year the City reaches residential buildout may be later than 2025.

Residential and multifamily customer classes were grouped together for purposes of forecasting, which allowed the forecasting model to predict future residential and multifamily water use based on an average residential per capita water use calculated for this combined customer class. Average residential per capita water use (including residential and multifamily metered data) was estimated from 24
