E. WA TER SYSTEM Capital Improvements identified are based upon the City's current five-year Capital Improvements Plan which is adopted with each year's City Budget, known areas of potential development and capacity needed to serve the proposed future growth. The SUE growth in the water service area is projected at approximately 23% over the next ten-years. Identified improvements include major distribution lines, pump stations ground storage reservoirs and elevated tanks. The additional 14,800 persons projected for the water servioe area will increase the average day demand by 2.4 million gallons per day (MGD), the maximum day demand by 4.2 MGD and the peak hour demand by 8.4 MOD. These values were determined usin,g the historical per capita use from Table 4 below. Existing and proposed facilities were reviewed on this basis of demand. Table 4 Basis of Demand for Water System Analysis Water Supply Treatment and Pump Stations Distribution System Ground Storage Elevated Storage Average Day 166 ,gallons/day 290 ,gallons/day 580 -gallons/day 73 gallons 507 gallons Maximum Day Maximum Hour Max Day x 6/24 Hours Max Hour - Max Day x 6/24 Hrs. Exhibit 2 shows the recommended system improvements required over the next ten-years and Table 5 itemizes each project and the project cost. These recommended improvements form the basis for the Water System Impact Fee calculation. The total cost for the water system projects including financing is approximately 65 million dollars. The utilized capacity costs are a ratio of the total project costs based upon the percent of capacity utilized during the ten-year in1pact fee period from 2002 to 2012. The utilized capacity cost for the recommended improvements is approximately 18 million dollars. Utilized costs for existing facilities with excess capacity were not included in the analysis. A Water Master Plan is currently underway Wllich will provide a more detailed analysis of facilities required for new development and their utilized capacities. The recommendation of this report is that the C.I.P. and impact fee analysis be updated based upon the more detailed information within the next two years.
