PURPOSE: The purpose of this agenda item is to inform the City Commission on the potable
water usage for 2001 compared with prior years,
CONSIDERA TIONS:
The City Commission adopted a water restriction ordinance on February 26, 2001.
The graph attached shows the impact of that ordinance on potable water usage for 2001.
Consumption was down over 250 million gallons in 2001 although t~e return to normal
rainfall also is a significant factor. The usage total includes all three water plants. Rainfall
measurements were at the West Water Reclamation Facility and are unofficial.
Compared to 1998, which had similar rainfall totals, more than 520 million gallons. -- ..-
was saved. It should be noted that the consumption levels for 2001 were below the
SJRWMD Consumptive Use Permit levels for the first time in the last five years.
