2015 Urban Water Management Plan
Following the update of the baseline population based on the 2010 census data, discussed in
section 5.4, the average per capita water use target over the same 5-year range was equal to 205
gpcd.
5.4 SERVICE AREA POPULATION
Law
Consistent with the 2010 UWMP, California DOF population estimates were used to determine
historical populations as part of the 10-year average per capita water use, as indicated in
SBX7-7
Table 2
. Based on a review by DWR, it was determined that the DOF estimates based on 2000
census data differ from the estimates based on the updated 2010 census data (available in late
2012). Therefore the baseline service area population was updated with the DOF estimates based
on the 2010 census data and is summarized on the following page in
SBX7-7 Table 3.
This
updated population over the baseline period is used in the calculation of the baseline period
average per capita water use.
