These wells are used primarily as a back-up source of supply. TRA also receives and treats all of the City's collected wastewater flows. Over the past several years, the area has experienced moderate to high growth. The City's current population is approximately 15,~. The City has approximately 50% of its land area available for development of which most, will be developed into single family detached housing. . The estimated ultimate build--out population of 32,000 reflects both land use and density projections from the City's 1987 Master Plan. This report outlines the. City's water conservation and emergency water demand management program. The objective of the conservation program is to reduce the quantity required for each water using activity, insofar as is practical, through the implementation of efficient water use practices. .;'. The emergency water demand management program provides procedures for voluntary and mandatory actions to be put. into effect to temporarily reduce the demand placed upon the City's water supply system during a wat~r shortage emergency. Emergency water demand management procedures include conservation but may also include prohibition of certain 1-2 ~-,....._-_._'---_."--'-~_..._- <-...----.-.--...----....'..--."..,.-"." .."., .......--.,.---.'.. -----.'---.--T'-.---- . , uses.
