<br />based upon the infonnation currently available. However, since changes are anticipated in the <br />number of entities participating in a NCWCD project as well as the demands, costs and timing, the <br />Consultant will update its review of this source as a potential alternative water supply for the City if <br />additional data becomes available, during the course of this study. <br /> <br />Each of the above elements will be evaluated on the basis of incremental increase in yield and cost <br />per acre-foot for said yield, based upon historic unit cost data. <br /> <br />6.0 FOUR WAY AGREEMENT <br /> <br />The Consultant will evaluate the City's current and potential future (ultimate and mid-point demand <br />scenarios) use of Marshall Lake. <br /> <br />Operational costs of the lake and the City's pro-rata ownership of Marshall shares will be compared <br />to the storage and direct flow costs currently being paid and anticipated to be paid by the City for the <br />use of Marshall Lake, as demands and raw water supplies grow. Operational and lease costs will be <br />supplied by FRlCO and the City, respectively. Cost curves will be developed based upon existing <br />and projected use of Marshall Lake by the City for the three study scenarios (current, ultimate, and <br />interim). These curves will be combined to indicate to the City if and when it should convert from <br />paying for space and use to paying for the operation of the Marshall system. <br /> <br />7.0 WATER CONSERVATION <br /> <br />The Consultant will investigate the types of and the role that water conservation may play in <br />managing routine and regular water demands as well as demands under special conditions such as <br />droughts. Louisville's per capita consumption will be compared to that for other Front Range cities <br />to evaluate comparative efficiency. The results of on-going conservation programs will be analyzed <br />to predict the reasonable amount of demand reduction through water conservation. Da~ will be <br />quantified in order for the City to evaluate the role of conservation in helping to meet on-going and <br />special water demand conditions. The magnitude of conservation required to maintain supply equal to <br />or greater than demands will be investigated for the drought year and the "average runoff" condition. <br /> <br />A'(' <br /> <br />196\cd:l_a.TXT <br />07\Z)\91 m.Ib <br />
