5.6 BASELINE DAILY PER CAPITA WATER USE
The final baseline calculation is to determine the per capita water use in each baseline year and
the average per capita water use over the entire baseline period. Using the baseline period and
service area population as described in previous sections, the per capita water use for each year
has been determined and can be seen in
SBX7-7 Table 5
; the maximum and minimum per capita
water use over the baseline period respectively are 209 gpcd in 2004 and 183 gpcd in 1998. The
average per capita water use over the 10-year baseline period is 199 gpcd.
SBX7-7 Table 6
on
the following page summarizes the 10-year baseline per capita water use, the 5 year baseline per
capita water use, and the 2015 compliance year per capita water use.
