It can be readily noted from the preceding tabulation that the per capita <br />rate of water consumption varies both up and down but shows a general increase <br />with time. We have marked the figures for 1960 as questionable since the <br />increase seemed out of proportion with the preceding ten years,. Further <br />Investigation showed the following factors which may explain the sudden <br />up- surge. <br />1. A new meter was installed at the plant. This unit undoubtedly <br />gives a truer reading of plant production. Water Department <br />personnel are certain that the old orifice meter indicated low <br />readings in the higher ranges. This fact would prove that maxi - <br />mum day readings during the period prior to the new installation <br />were lower than the actual flow. <br />2. In 1960 Kuner- Empson was required by Health Authorities to cool <br />their cans with city water. This increased usage, along with <br />their production water, will undoubtedly be abolished if, and <br />when, Kuner- Empson ceases operation in Loveland. <br />3. There were unusually long dry periods during the summer of 1960. <br />Since irrigation is the prime culprit in the creation of high <br />maximum day demands, this type of weather drastically affects the <br />water consumption, Exhibit No. 3 shows the daily water demand <br />during the critical months of 1959 and 1960. A median has been <br />calculated and for 1959. In this period 98 days used <br />more water than the median amount and 55 days used less. By <br />correcting this median for the population increase in 1960 and <br />applying the adjusted median to the 1960 graph, we find that <br />109 days exceed the median while only 44 fall under. This <br />indicates an increase of "dry" days in 1960 of 11 per cent. <br />- 12 - <br />
