This information is <br />combined with the above water usage projections for the RTC site plus the projected <br />water use for the undeveloped Urban Growth Area to determine total projected water <br />demand at 2020 and is summarized in Table 13.8. The projected water use for the <br />undeveloped areas, excluding the RTC site, were based on the wastewater flow <br />projections contained in Item 18 and Appendix G (Wastewater Data) and include a <br />premium for irrigation. <br />Table 13.8: 2020 Urban Growth Area Projected Water Use <br />Area <br />RTC Development(2) <br />Future Northwest Sub -district <br />Future Southwest Sub -district <br />Future Rum River District Usage <br />Sub -total Future Usage <br />Existing Service Area Usage <br />2020 PROJECTED USAGE <br />Average Daily <br />Usage' (MGD) <br />1.631 <br />0.160 <br />0.839 <br />0.677 <br />3.307 <br />1.198 <br />4.505 <br />Average Annual <br />Usage (MGY) <br />(1) Future usage estimated based on projected land use and includes irrigation <br />(2) Sum of totals from Tables 18.6 and 18.7. <br />595 <br />58 <br />306 <br />247 <br />1,207 <br />437 <br />1,645 <br />Discussion of Results: Historic records show that overall per capita water usage <br />(including both residential and commercial/industrial) in Ramsey averages between 130 <br />and 150 gpd per capita . The total projected water usage for the RTC development is <br />estimated to be about 1.631 MGD. Dividing this number by the upper usage of 150 gpd <br />yields an equivalent design population for the RTC of approximately 10,900. This <br />13-6 <br />
