<br />., <br /> <br />WATER CONSERVATION PLAN <br />FOR THE <br />CITY OF PARIS, TEXAS <br /> <br />Summary <br /> <br />The City of Paris currently serves a population over 26,000 residents and is expected <br />to grow to approximately 34,000 residents by 2050 based on projections provided by <br />Texas Water Development Board planning data. The current service area directly served <br />by the City of Paris is 43.703 square miles. In addition to the residents of Paris, the City <br />also wholesales treated water to two other water supplies: Lamar County and Marvin- <br />Jennings-Clardy Water Supplies. <br /> <br />Water is furnished by a single water treatment plant originally built in 1967 and last <br />expanded in 1995 to a current treated water capability of32.3 million gallons per day. <br />All water is treated from two reservoirs: Pat Mayse Lake with a maximum water right <br />diversion of 55 million gallons per day and Lake Crook with a maximum diversion of 12 <br />million gallons per day. This total water right diversion of 67 million gallons per day is <br />expected to be more than adequate to meet future growth in population and industry for <br />both the City and the county well into the 21st century. <br /> <br />This ,Vater Conservation Plan has been developed to protect these water resources <br />and extend their useful life to insure a sufficient water supply is available to provide for <br />all anticipated, and even unexpected, water demands ofthe future. In order to implement <br />the basic elements of this Plan, it is necessary to examine current water use practices, <br />educate the public about water use reduction and/or efficient water usage patterns and <br />establish methodologies for achieving these goals. This Plan identifies several water <br />conservation goals and explains those areas where potential water conservation can be <br />achieved. <br /> <br />Conservation can have the major benefit of reducing overall water demand resulting <br />in a delay of the need for major capital expenditures for treatment plant expansion or <br />acquisition of additional raw water rights. Much of the information contained herein is <br />required by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) for Water <br />Conservation Plans. Additional information included is specific to the City of Paris water <br />supply and treatment system and local usage patterns and necessity. <br /> <br />Utility Survey <br /> <br />The initial phase of developing a conservation plan is dependent on the results of a <br />utility survey. This survey is a comprehensive profile of water usage patterns by <br />customer type and covers a period of the previous five years. Data from the survey was <br />used in calculating technical data for determination of future water conservation goals. <br /> <br />1 <br /> <br />EXHIBIT IL <br /> <br />I, <br />,...,~ <br />} <br />
