Water Conservation Plan – 2018

Executive Summary

As of July 2017, the District serves approximately 120 water connections. Approved zoning changes and master planned developments will add as many as 2,800 new connections in the coming years. With severely limited resources, the District will be required to develop several new water sources to meet the growing demands. With the extreme increases in proposed connections, the District will have to be vigilant in its conservation efforts to limit the number of new sources and capital needed. Existing policies, such as disallowing outdoor irrigation from the water system, has allowed the district to maintain a relatively low per capita usage rate. Additional efforts of education, building ordinances, and landscaping requirements will allow this usage rate to remain low with respect to the state average, but will not eliminate the need for several additional water sources. The District will also consider implementation of tiered rate structures as necessary if other efforts do not produce the desired results.
