I I City customers have historically been unmetered and billed on a flat rate. The City I \~ has recently raised water rates and is aggressively implementing the installation of water meters in the homes and businesses of all customers, It is currently projected ~ that all customers will be metered by the end of 1994 and anticipated that per capita I ~1. watter cdontsubmtption w~1I decrealse obncl~ mdetet rebd rates ar~bP~t infto effect. hLeca~in,g ~ wa er is ri u ion mams are a so e leve 0 e a contn utmg actor to t e lty s I ~ high water usage.

Historical Water Demands.

The City's annual water 'a ~~ ~ ~demand exceeded 692 million gallons in 1988, but decreased by approximately ~ ~~ .~ 100 million gallons in subsequent years, partly because of watering restrictions put ~ ~ '< I ~ into effect due to the PCE contamination of Wells No.6 and No.7, causing them to ~ ~ ~ be placed out of service. Until this year, the daily demand has averaged about ~ ..J. ~" I ~ 1.6 million gallons pe:_~~~mgd~ with th:~v;r~.~.l~.~~apita demand)eing appro~- ~ ~ ~ ~ mately 300 to 310 gallons per capita per day (gpcd). These average demands are ~ ~ I consistent with those water demand characteristics summarized in the Water Service Plan. Demand will exceed 1 billion gallons in 1994 with Thermo going on-line. Of _ ~ the 1 billion gallons, Thermo will have ~nted for about 20 percent of this demand '-" I -with the o'ty using the remaining 80 percent. The 1994 per capita demand through November is about 389 gpcd (excluding Thermo), the highest per capita demand ever I recorded for Fort Lupton. Lawn irrigation during the hot, dry summer is the likely cause of this high demand. I A summary of the most recent annual well production records is summarized in Table 2-4, I I I I ~ ~ ~ b, Projected Water Demands. For the purposes of this study, average day, annual average, maximum month, maximum day, and maximum hour demands have been projected based on the population projections presented previously in this chapter and the peaking factors presented in the Water Service Plan.
