Appendix B<br />

Summary of <strong>Customer</strong>-Specific Model Adjustments<br />

<strong>Customer</strong>-Specific Adjustments for Model Calibration<br />

existed in 2001. The per-account water usage for the New Single-Family<br />

Residential category was assumed to be 400 gpd/account, which is<br />

approximately 23% higher than the existing single-family water usage (325<br />

gpd/account). This estimate was based on information provided in the <strong>Water</strong><br />

Master Plan (December 2002) and conversations with the wholesale customer.<br />

• A special billing category was created for “New Commercial” accounts. All<br />

new account growth above the initial number of commercial accounts in 2001<br />

was placed into this new category. These new accounts were assumed to have<br />

a higher water usage than those that existed in 2001. The per-account water<br />

usage for the New Commercial account category was assumed to be 4,500<br />

gpd/account. This estimate was based on information provided in the <strong>Water</strong><br />

Master Plan (December 2002) and conversations with the wholesale customer.<br />

• <strong>Water</strong> usage for “Ed Levin Park” was grouped into the “City Domestic<br />

Accounts” category. This assumption was made to reduce the number of<br />

account categories. Both types of accounts were modeled the same way with<br />

respect to growth, plumbing codes and conservation. Therefore grouping them<br />

together does not affect the final results.<br />

• The initial proportions of toilet fixtures and single-family washing machines<br />

was adjusted to account for the high penetration of programs run by Santa<br />

• Created synthetic multi-family category based on Census 2000 housing data<br />

for the purpose of evaluating multi-family conservation measures.<br />

Palo Alto, City of • A new water use billing-category was added to the model for recycled water.<br />

The future (beyond the base year 2001) increase in recycled water use was<br />

used to decrease potable water demand in appropriate categories.<br />

Purissima Hills <strong>Water</strong> District • No specific assumptions.<br />

• Population growth was based upon Redwood City’s 2003 Urban <strong>Water</strong><br />

Management Plan (UWMP) total population and single- and multi-family<br />

dwelling units found in Appendix A, page 10. The DSS Model uses the<br />

following drivers, which are the same as Redwood City’s <strong>Water</strong> Use Forecast<br />
