The City was abie to carry over about 15,000 acre-feet from iast year in Joe <br />Wright Reservoir and the CST system through special provisions made by the <br />Northern Colorado Water Conservancy District (NCWCD).

Combined, the total projected supplies available to <br />meet treated water demands are approximately 44,000 acre-feet. <br /> <br />. Using the above projections, there will be about 12,000 acre-feet of supply in <br />excess of treated water demands. The City has a target of carrying over a <br />minimum of about 7,000 acre-feet of this excess into 2005; however, with <br />concerns about an ongoing drought, the City will attempt to carry over larger <br />quantities to the extent it has the capability to do so.

We <br />are watching the situation very closely, and managing our resources carefully. It would <br />be great if we could stay with the 10% through the summer, but if conditions worsen, <br />or we don't see the savings we are asking for, we would reconsider the level of <br />restrictions. <br /> <br />6 <br />
