The data shown in the tabulation above indicates the number <br />of metered connections increased over 24% during the period <br />1984 through 1987. Over the same period, the number of <br />commercial user connections (meter-size of 1.5 inches or more) <br />increased nearly 55%. The tabulation below shows the increase <br />in metered connections of 1.5 inches or more between 1984 and <br />1987: <br /> <br /> Number'of Connections <br /> <br /> Meter Size - Inches 1984 1987 <br /> 1.5 333 505 <br /> 2 129 204 <br /> 3 77 132 <br /> 4 3 15 <br /> 6 -- 2 <br /> 542 858 <br /> <br /> The City's Water Master Plan, November 1985 prepared by <br />Camp Dresser & McKee Inc. (the "Water Master Plan"), studied <br />peak monthly water consumption data in 1982 and 1984. This <br />study concluded that increased water use could not be <br />attributed solely to the increase in the number of connections <br />to the Enterprise. The rate of water use increase exceeded the <br />rate of new water connections for all categories of users, <br />especially commercial users. During the period 1982 through <br />1984, the number of commercial services increased 42% from 500 <br />to 710~ however peak monthly water use of commercial users <br />increased 120% from 81.4 million gallons to 179.3 million <br />gallons. <br /> <br />Water Supply <br /> <br /> Water supply needs of the Enterprise are met from two <br />primary sources. Currently, about 70% of the Enterprise's <br />water supply is furnished by Zone 7 of the Alameda County Flood <br />Control and Water Conservation District ("Zone 7"). The <br />remaining 30% of the Enterprise's water supply is furnished <br />from three City-owned wells. Under its contract with Zone 7, <br />the City is allowed to provide from its local groundwater <br />sources a maximum of 3,500 acre-feet of water per annum, or an <br />average of 3-.1 million gallons per day ("mgd"). <br /> <br /> Zone 7, formed in 1957 by voter approval, encompasses an <br />area of 425 square miles in southeastern Alameda County. <br />Zone 7's water supply, water resources managemenu and flood <br />control activities are concentrated within the Livermore-Amador <br />Valley in the Cities of Pleasanton, Livermore, Dublin and <br />adjacent unincorporated areas. Zone 7 derives its water supply <br />from three sources: the State of California (the "State") <br /> <br /> 14 <br /> <br /> <br />
