<strong>Water</strong> <strong>Demand</strong> <strong>Projections</strong><br />

5.1 INTRODUCTION<br />

This section presents water demand projection results for each wholesale customer using the<br />

methodology described in this memo. Figure 5-1 and Table 5-1 summarize the demand<br />

projection results. Table 5-2 and Figure 5-2 provide additional summary data for the year 2030.<br />

The remainder of this section describes the concurrence process of the model input and outputs<br />

by the wholesale customers.<br />

5.2 WATER DEMAND PROJECTION RESULTS<br />

FINAL DEMAND<br />

PROJECTIONS<br />

DSS model input and output were developed according to the methodology<br />

presented in Sections 3 and 4 of this report. Data obtained from each<br />

wholesale customer were combined with demographic data and water use<br />

parameters to establish and calibrate the base-year conditions. Population<br />

and employment projections were used to determine the future growth in accounts, and fixture<br />

models were used to reflect the impacts of plumbing codes, and natural replacement on accounts<br />

with applicable end uses (existing base-year accounts and new accounts). The effects of new<br />

future conservation programs in the wholesale customer service area are not included in these<br />

water demand projections. A companion report <strong>SFPUC</strong> <strong>Wholesale</strong> <strong>Customer</strong> <strong>Water</strong><br />

Conservation Potential (URS 2004) provides an account of potential water conservation savings<br />

in the wholesale customer service area out to 2030. In addition, although future planned recycled<br />

water projects for which funding has already been set aside are incorporated into the final water<br />

demand projections, a technical memorandum, <strong>SFPUC</strong> <strong>Wholesale</strong> <strong>Customer</strong> Recycled <strong>Water</strong><br />

Potential (RMC 2004), provides potential estimates on additional recycled water not yet funded<br />

in the wholesale customer service area.<br />

Figure 5-1 shows the total water demand projection as a sum of all wholesale customers. This<br />

sum is projected total water demand, not demand for <strong>SFPUC</strong> supplies. To gauge the effect of the<br />

plumbing codes and natural fixture replacement, each DSS model was rerun without the fixture<br />

models in place. These results were also summed to obtain a total water demand projection<br />

without fixture replacement as illustrated in Figure 5-1. The plumbing codes and natural fixture<br />

replacement represents a 7.8% water savings in 2030.<br />
