<br />Figure 3: Breakdown by customer classification. <br /> <br />Water System Connections <br />by Customer Class <br />(2006 Total 9,228) <br /> <br />Annual Water Usage <br />by Customer Class <br />(2006 Total 5,671 acre-feet) <br /> <br /> <br />6,113 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />370/0 <br /> <br /> <br />20k <br /> <br />36 <br /> <br />115 <br /> <br />DSingle-family Residential <br />D Multi-family Residential <br /> <br />DCommercial <br /> <br />Dlndustrial <br /> <br />D Institutional <br /> <br />DGovernmental <br /> <br />Water service is provided to approximately 9,228 system connections. About 85% of the <br />connections are classified as Residential users, which includes single-family homes, duplexes, <br />triplexes and fourplexes, apartment communities, and mobile home parks (Figure 3). The <br />residential user class consumes about 65% of the annual water supply. <br />The Commercial classification makes up about 12% of total connections and is <br />comprised of service establishments such as restaurants, hotels, retail stores, and offices. <br />Commercial users consume just over 20% of the annual supply. Institutional users, 2% of the <br />customer base, include community organizations such as schools, churches, and medical <br />facilities. Industrial accounts are those engaged in manufacturing or fabrication processes, and <br />Governmental accounts include local, state, and federally owned facilities. <br />In 2006, City of San Marcos water customers used an average of 124 gallons per capita <br />per day (GPCD). As in previous years, actual GPCD usage is considerably lower than the GPCD <br />goals established in 2005 (Figure 4). The slight rise in GPCD water usage from 2004 to 2006 is <br />likely the result of weather patterns. Per capita goals are based on 2001-2003 average per capita <br />usage of 136 GPCD. <br /> <br />4 <br />
