Updated Member Demand Projections for January 2025 Business Plan Update (Information)
body
DESCRIPTION
As the PRWC Alternative Water Supply (AWS) projects advance towards the water production stage, the PRWC continues to implement the annual Water Charge process set forth in the Implementation Agreement. As a part of this process, member demands and anticipated AWS project needs are updated. TeamOne has performed the 2024 update and will present that information to the Board of Directors.
To project the quantity of PRWC AWS needed, TeamOne added 2023 water use data collected from the member’s public supply annual report(s) to the historical information collected in previous years. Member-estimated conservation and local AWS sources were also included in the projections. Between July and September 2024, TeamOne met with each Project Participant twice to discuss these values along with anticipated growth in their public supply service area. During these meetings, the purpose and importance of the annual demand updates, including the Central Florida Water Initiative (CFWI) rules and potential reductions to their current permitted quantity, were discussed. Graphical results were presented to each member for their concurrence.
The practice of updating member demands is important because once water is produced, each member must notify the PRWC annually how much water they will need the following year by April of each year.
