I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Section 2 - Study Area Descriptions Projected Demands Table 2.8 shows demand projections based on the population projections. Demands were derived assuming that all water service connections were metered. In 2020, assuming a population of 12,200, average-day demand is expected to be 2.4 MG and peak-day demand is expected to be 7.0 MG. Annual usage is projected at 2700 AF. As a part of future water conservation planning, we recommend that the total demand be separated into potable, non-potable, and industrial uses. This would permit use of lower quality well water for some of the non-potable and selected industrial uses. TABLE 2.8 PROJECTED WATER DEMANDS (MONTGOMERY WATSON) Description Average Day (MGD) Maximum Day (MGD) Peak Hour (MGD) 1990 - Non-Metered 3 7.1 10.6 1990 - Metered 1.8 5.2 8.1 2000 - Metered 2 5.7 8.9 2010 - Metered 2.2 6.3 9.9 2020 - Metered 2.4 7 10.9 Comparing the C-BT yields in Table 2-3 with the projected annual requirement of 2700 AF, Fort Morgan would have a shortage in its water supply delivered from the C-BT in 2 of the 39 years of record. This shortage could be up 373 acre-feet. Fort Morgan has the option of entering into a fixed quota contract with Northern Colorado Conservancy District for the delivery of its C-BT units. Under a fixed quota contract Fort Morgan would obtain guaranteed delivery at the rate of 70% each year. This would provide 3257 AF each year if all 4653 unit were on a fixed quota contract. The advantage of a fixed quota contract is the City would not be subject to periodic shortages in its water supply. In order for Fort Morgan to enter into a fixed quota contract, the City would be required to enter into a supplemental water allotment contract with the district for a period of 10 years. There is an additional one time administrative charge of $3.25 per unit, or $15,122.25, for a contract for 4,653 units. It is recommended that Fort Morgan consider entering into a fixed quota contract with the District in order to provide a uniform water supply to the City. PERMITS The permits that are required by National and State Agencies are shown in Appendix B. Since there are no stream crossings or disturbances of wetlands involved with the construction of the Raw Water Reservoir, it is anticipated that the section 404 permit, and the Section 7 endangered species permit will not be necessary. It is anticipated that the Cultural Resource Clearance and Air Pollution Emissions Permit will be obtain MONTGOMERY WATSON Page 2-11
