Four Corner - Texas Water Development Board

8.0 PROPOSED WATER CONSERVATION AND DROUGHT
MANAGEMENT PLAN
8.1. UTILITY SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The Four Corners study area is located in north central Fort Bend County, Texas.
This area has an estimated population of 1, 150. The proposed water system will
provide water service through approximately 350 residential customer
connections. The Four Corners water supply comes from the Kingsbridge MUD.
The proposed system's treated water average daily demand of 138,000 gal/day, for
current resident service. A projected peak daily use capacity of 240 gal/day. The
service area is shown on Sheet 1 of 1 in Appendix A
8.2. UTILITY EVALUATION DATA
The water conservation plan presented herein has an overall objective of reducing
water consumption in the proposed service area. A benefit of water conserved is
the associated reduction in the amount of wastewater needing treatment and
disposal. Water conservation measures also can extend the time period in which
additional water and wastewater treatment capacity must be provided to the
service area.
Various cities throughout the country have adopted water conservation techniques
and technologies depending upon the severity of their water supply situation. In
particular, California has taken significant steps to reduce water consumption, and
here in Texas, the City of Austin has adopted an aggressive water conservation
program. Based on these experiences, some assumptions about the feasibility, cost
and effectiveness of specific measures can be made.
According to the 1990 census figures, the population of the area was 3 50. This is
also the estimated current population. The projected population of the area is
projected to be 670 by the year 2020.
Generally, the greatest savmgs m water usage can be realized by adopting
