The City's <br /> total average water use is 2,512 acre feet per year. The overall water use is expected <br /> to increase by 2.2% per year based on population growth. The City estimates the <br /> population will grow 2.5% annually through 2028. <br /> The City has an estimated water savings goal to lower the per capita water use by 10% <br /> which translates to be an average of 251 acre-feet per year. The main goal of the <br /> updated Plan is to delay the need of future water acquisition to supply an increased <br /> population. <br /> The total cost of the project is $51,976.51. Evans is committing 42% matching funds in <br /> the form of $7,862.35 of in-kind services and $14,114.16 in cash. CWCB staff has <br /> reviewed and evaluated the grant application and has determined that the proposal <br /> meets or exceeds the CWCB guidelines for reviewing grant proposals. Attached is the <br /> internal checklist used to evaluate the application. <br /> Attachment: Evaluation Checklist <br /> oF�coL\ <br /> P9\ <br /> P 303.866.3441 F 303.866.4474 www.cwtb.state.co.us J <br /> Jared Polis, Governor I Dan Gibbs, DNR Executive Director I Rebecca Mitchell, CWCB Director 1_ <br /> 876 + <br /> 1 <br />
