This <br /> <br />is the principal reason why the trends shown in Table 1, which <br />project a rising curve, have been modified to arrive at the <br />assumption of 200 gcd. <br />Three different types of uses are made of municipal treated <br />water: industrial use, indoor use, and outdoor use. Each of <br />these is discussed below. The reader is reminded that industr ial <br />uses included here generally involve manufacturing. Other types <br />of industrial users in the state generally consume their own raw <br /> <br />water suppl ies. <br /> <br />These are discussed in Chapter 5. <br /> <br />.. <br /> <br />Industrial Use and Consumption <br />Treated water is used in a number of industrial processes, <br />the most important of which is cooling. Very little water actu- <br />ally leaves an industrial facility as a part of a flnal product. <br />Total industrlal demand for treated water supplied by the Denver <br />Water Department has remained almost constant since 1960 <br />(MIlliken et aI, 1975, p. VI-21), a state of affairs which is <br /> <br /> <br />expected to continue in the future. As a consequence, per capita <br /> <br /> <br />demand for treated water supplied to industry is expected to con- <br /> <br /> <br />tinue declining as population increases. Per capita demand for <br />such water is already at a very low level:" . industrial use <br />of treated water accounted for oniy 4 percent. .of the DWD's <br />demand in 1974" (Milliken et aI, 1975, p. VI-21). It is doubtful <br />that treated water supplied to industrial users elsewhere in the <br />state makes up a larger percentage of total demand. The amount <br /> <br />3 <br />
