Authorization
REQUEST: Utility Department Informing the City Commission on the Potable Water
Usage for 2008.
PURPOSE: The purpose of this agenda item is to inform the City Commission on the potable
water usage for 2008 compared to prior years.
CONSIDERATIONS:
The City of Winter Springs Consumption Use Permit was issued in October 1996
and expired October 2006. The City of Winter Springs will continue to operate off that
permit until a new one is issued. Since the City Commissions adoption of the water
restriction ordinance on February 26, 2001, the annual water usage has consistently been
lower than the withdrawal allocations allowed by CUP.
The attached graph and table shows the impact that ordinance has had on potable
water usage. The water consumption for 2008 was 482 million gallons less than the
annual permitted capacity and 114 million gallons under the 2007 usage. This can mostly
be attributed to the 87 in inches of rainfall this past year. Prior to the adaptation of the
water restriction ordinance, the annual usage exceeded the permitted capacity three (3)
out of the five (5) years following the issuance of the 1996 CUP.
