Estimated Water Savings <br /> Quantifying the savings via this meter upgrade is a very rough estimate. We <br /> believe that the accuracy of this new technology will motivate consumers to <br /> revisit and reduce their water consumption. As a result,water savings may be <br /> realized in the 5%range or 138 acre-feet. This number may not be fully realized <br /> until the second year of implementation due to the nature of changing of habits. <br /> As soon as users realize what the impact of their under-metered water has,they <br /> will then reduce the demand on the system. <br /> iv. Last 5 years estimated water savings <br /> Comparing 2009 versus 2013,there has been a reduction of 12.9% in raw water <br /> measured entering the treatment facility. This could be attributed to the Water <br /> Conservation Plan implemented in 2010 by the City of Cortez and more accurate <br /> raw water readings;this equates to 409.1 acre-feet. <br /> v. Adequacy, stability and reliability of the entity's water system. <br /> The City of Cortez's drinking water system supplies the City's residents and <br /> several adjacent areas outside of the City's municipal boundaries, including <br /> Montezuma Water District No. 1 and the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe. The drinking <br /> water supplied by Cortez to MCWD#1 and the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe is their <br /> exclusive source of drinking water. <br /> The water system is operated by the City of Cortez's Department of Public <br /> Works. The Public Works Director is Philip Johnson. The Water Treatment Plant <br /> Superintendent is James Campuzano. <br /> The City's water system consists of raw water drawn from McPhee Reservoir, <br /> followed by a small water storage reservoir,water treatment plant, finished water <br /> storage tanks, a distribution system and associated administrative offices. The <br /> treatment plant provides a series of treatment processes, including coagulation, <br /> flocculation, sedimentation,multimedia granular filtration, submerged membrane <br /> microfiltration, and chlorine disinfection. <br /> 3 <br />
