Usage for 2007.
PURPOSE: The purpose of this agenda item is to inform the City Commission on the potable
water usage for 2007compared to prior years.
CONSIDERATIONS:
The City of Winter Springs Consumption Use Permit was issued in October 1996
and expired October 2006. We 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 amounts
allocated by our CUP. The attached graph and table shows the impact that ordinance has
had on potable our water usage. The water consumption for 2007 was 367 million gallons
less than the annual permitted capacity. Prior to 2001, three (3) out of the five (5) years of
the CUP, the annual usage exceeded the permitted capacity. From the 2001 through 2007
we have averaged 328 million gallons per year under the permitted allocations of the CUP.
