AWWA CONS51097

In the fall of 1996 the Seattle City Council requested that Seattle PublicUtilities (SPU) complete a Water Conservation Potential Assessment (CPA). Specifically, Council asked that the CPA provide a rigorous analysis of the cost, volume, and reliability of conservation opportunities available within Seattle's wholesale and direct service areas through 2020. The CPA found that substantial water savings, up to 31 million gallons per day (MGD) of 16% of water use in the peak season, can be achieved over the next 20 years with no reduction in customers' ability to use water nor in their satisfaction with water services. The cost of these savings is below the current marginal cost of new peak season water supply. Includes references, figures.
