On thi.s same month, the demand for residential water and industrial <br />water totals 16.8 acre-feet. This leaves quite a bit of ,rater for potential <br /> <br />growt...h, too. <br />The record minimmn flow of 253 gal.lmin. recorded in November, 1956, <br />would still be adequate since the demand by Rico would be decreased in <br /> <br />the winter due to the absence of the s_er residents. Also, if an <br />extremely serious droughtoccu:rred, the residential use shouJJi be given <br /> <br />priority over industrial use by the District. The District could <br /> <br />reserve the right to ration industrial water to the industrial users, <br /> <br />The design on our intake would a11o" the town to shut off the industrial <br /> <br />intake which is downstream from the residential and cOJ1'Jnercial intake. <br /> <br />The fact that the industrial intake is dm,metream of the residential <br /> <br />and canmercial intake in i tsell' ,..ould tend to ration the water by <br /> <br />priority UEe in a natural .ray as Hell. <br /> <br />See p, 24 for breakdown on llt,ilization of 3.0 c.f.s. adjudicated water. <br />
