<br />In the summer of 1994, the City of Westminster reinstated its Growth <br />Management Program in response to unanticipated residential growth <br />rates. Reasons for reinstatement of the Growth Management Program <br />include concerns about quality of life, design. considerations of new <br />residential development, and the ability to provide the necessary water <br />supply and water/wastewater treatment capabilities to meet the rate of <br />groWth. Actions taken by the Westminster City Council include a service <br />commitment allocation program which limits the rate of residential <br />development and increases in park development and water tap fees that <br />provide for recovery of growth related costs at the time of development. <br /> <br />During the Growth Management discussions, the Westminster Home <br />Builders and the HBA raised concerns about the water supply planning <br />estimates used by Westminster foraJlocating water demand for a service <br />commitment. Westminster allocates 0.48 acre-feet (AF) per year of firm <br />yield water supply as the treated water demand at the tap for the average <br />new single-family detached residence (one service commitment). This is <br />equivalent to 156,410 gallons per year. This means that taken as a group, <br />the new single-family residences in the City will have an average demand <br />at the tap of 0.48 AF during an average demand year. During dry periods, <br />it is the City's policy tomeet all reasonable demands without restrictions. <br /> <br />The City of Westminster and the Home Builders' Association have agreed <br />to jointly fund a study of the City's water system to 1) determine the water <br />use characteristics of new residential development, 2) i\'lentify an effective <br />water management program; and 3) to evaluate the potential for water <br />conservation by existing and new development water users. The primary <br />purpose of the study is to ascertain if a water conservation program can be <br />instituted which accommodates the City's policies and meets its criteria for <br />verifiable data, while considering the HBA's marketing and cost needs. Any <br />proven reduction of long-term water demand over planning estimates can <br />reduce or minimize future tap fee increases and provide the watarneeded <br />for new construction. . <br /> <br />( <br /> <br />Information is also desired on the extent to which use of the best available <br />technology can further reduce unit water demands. The total project <br />budget will be $140,000, to be funded equally from contributions from the <br />City and the Westminster Home Builders/HBA. The City's contribution will <br />come from an appropriation of utility funds, and the HBA contribution will <br />come from a $50 surcharge per service commitment equivalent to be <br />placed on residential building permits. This project is scheduled to begin in <br />1995 and be completed by the end of 1996 (please see attached project <br />schedule). . <br />
