<br />3.2.1 Volumetric limits. The Maximum legal volumetric limit imposed <br />on the City by decree is 8,200 acre feet per year. Current use is <br />approximately 2,462 acre feet (1996 and 1997 data). From a <br />volumetric standpoint the City has rights for three and one-half times <br />more water than is currently being used. <br /> <br />3.2.2 Flow Rate Limits. The maximum instantaneous flow rate <br />allowed under state decree is 5,700 gpm without being out of <br />compliance with the decrees. That is, the wells as currently <br />designed and operated are not physically capable of pumping at <br />their decreed rate. <br /> <br />'. <br /> <br />3.2.3 Peak hour demand. Peak hour demands are expected to <br />exceed 7,850 by the year 2000. This is more than the system is <br />physically capable of producing. Either pumping capacity and <br />decreed rights will have to be expanded. or additional wells will <br />have to be constructed in order to meet peak demands in the year <br />2000. Another option is to limit demand increases through <br />conservation efforts. <br /> <br />3.2.4 Seasonal Demand. Water demand in Monte Vista varies <br />between 170 gallons per capita per day (gpcpd) in the winter <br />months to 490 gpcpd in .the summer peak months. This almost <br />three-fold increase can be attributed primarily to irrigation of the <br />parks, golf course, and yards. <br /> <br />3.2.5 Peak Summer Demands. Summer peak demand is fairly <br />consistent because park and golf course watering is done during <br />the night, when other demands are lower. Demand scheduling <br />would appear to have little further effect on reducinQ peak hour <br />-------- <br />use. <br /> <br />Section 3.3 Well Control and Measurement Improvements. <br /> <br />The City of Monte Vista has installed measurement devices in all our pump <br />stations. Prospect pump controls the water and demand when needed. <br />
