<br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br /> <br />Housing in Georgetown consists of approximately 350 residences and 50 multi-family units (2.5 <br />people per unit). Assuming 500 square-feet of lawn per housing unit, total area of irrigated lawn <br />within Georgetown is 4.6 acres. In addition, Georgetown's irrigated park areas are estimated to equal <br />4.6 acres, bringing the total to 9.2 acres. <br /> <br />The 1990 Water Rights Study conducted by MWI3 calculated the augmentation water needs, assuming <br />a dry year similar to 1954. The water requirements was 8.63 acre-feet for all existing domestic <br />requirements, and 2.97 acre-feet is outside lawn watering is curtailed. This is an approximation of <br />the amount of augmentation water the town needs for existing uses. (Refer to the 1990 MWE Study <br />in Appendix E.) <br /> <br />In summary, Georgetown needs to acquire additional water rights to replace depletions caused by its <br />out of priority diversions. <br /> <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br /> <br />Feasibility Study: Town of Georgetown <br />Water Rights Acquisition Project <br />January 1996 <br /> <br />2 <br />
