<br />Town of Castle Rock <br />Water Conservation Plan <br /> <br />(13) The Town has several growth projection scenarios, estimating the population to be <br />anywhere between 110,000 - 175,000 at build out. This translates to a projected <br />annual water demand of 21,500-32,200 acre feet per year. Based on realistic <br />projections from individual developments and the Town's Planning Department, the <br />level of build out is anticipated to be between 145,000 and 148,000 people. This <br />tranSlates into a total system potable storage demand of approximately 56 million <br />gallons and a maximum day demand of approximately 51.94 million gallons (36,100 <br />gpm), which is about eight times existing system demands. <br /> <br />(14) The Town has a goal to use 50% renewable resources by the year 2010. Future <br />supply scenarios include the use of alluvial supplies, surface water exchange, <br />diversion and storage, conjunctive use, as well as a contingency reliance on bedrock <br />aquifers. Other supply projects are also being considered including aquifer storage <br />recovery, importation, joint efforts, and further reuse concepts. <br /> <br />(15) The Town recently completed the 1995 Water Facility Plan identifies new facilities <br />and expansions necessary to service the projected population. A number of these are <br />to be completed within the next five to ten years. The Town has identified through <br />its budgeting process and capital improvement program the financial strategies <br />necessary to implement the facility plan. <br /> <br />This section will consist of a synopsis of the attached appendices which define the <br />background information pertaining to current water supply sources, facility and system <br />evaluation, wastewater capacities, future supplies and demand projections. <br /> <br />7 <br />
