9.0 Impacts of Proposed Water Conservation <br />The City is planning to implement water conservation measures and programs as <br />discussed in the prior section for purposes of reducing the amount of raw water used on <br />an annual basis by the City's customers. A reduction of raw and treated water use will <br />allow the City to extend its current water supplies further into the future without <br />additional water supply development, maintain more flow in the St. Vrain Creek as it <br />passes through the City, and reduce energy and water treatment costs associated with the <br />production of potable and non - potable water supplies. Overall, meaningful water <br />conservation will help the City to maintain its focus on being a sustainable community <br />into the 21St century. <br />The estimated water savings that the City will realize through the implementation of <br />proposed water conservation efforts over the next ten years are summarized in Table 17 <br />and presented in Figures 7 and 8. The estimated water savings have been developed using <br />those assumptions and analyses presented in Appendix D. Actual water savings will be <br />dependent upon numerous internal and external forces influencing customer water use. <br />Therefore, the City will continuously monitor the progress of its proposed water <br />conservation programs, such that the actual water savings are tracked and reported on a <br />regular basis to the City Council and the public. <br />TABLE 17 <br />Estimated Water Savings <br />Year <br />Annual Treated Water <br />Savings (acre -feet) <br />Cumulative Treated Water <br />Savings (acre -feet) <br />Cumulative Raw Water <br />Savings (acre - feet)' <br />2008 <br />107 <br />107 <br />121 <br />2009 <br />113 <br />220 <br />249 <br />2010 <br />158 <br />378 <br />429 <br />2011 <br />149 <br />527 <br />598 <br />2012 <br />165 <br />692 <br />785 <br />2013 <br />160 <br />852 <br />966 <br />2014 <br />185 <br />1037 <br />1176 <br />2015 <br />187 <br />1224 <br />1388 <br />2016 <br />200 <br />1424 <br />1615 <br />2017 <br />185 <br />1609 <br />1825 <br />1 Assumes 8.1 % unaccounted for water loss after treatment and 94.7% water treatment plant <br />efficiency <br />53 <br />
