PUBLIC HEARING DRAFT SEPTEMBER 20, 2012 Lomax EST; and Bayshore EST. The water supply system is constantly providing potable water to commercial, and industrial customers while at the same time prov distribution system serves 14,187 water service connections (i.e 7 water meters) through 231 miles of water mains, resulting in an average 8 daily consumption of 3.963 million gallons per day. In 2009, the City worked with consultants to produce a Water Mas which evaluated (using Texas Commission on Environmental Quality requirements) the existing system under current conditions, withte known development (i.e., development within the next five years) ultimate build-out conditions. To determine the future build-out the remaining undeveloped land within the City was estimated to reach a population of approximately 52,540 persons, which would translat 9 equivalent of 21,746 water service connections. Coincidentally, the population projections correspond to the Year 2060 estimates pro 10 the Texas Water Development Board. Based on these projections, it was determined that the City already has an adequate water supply to 11 needs of its build-out population. However, recommended improvements were identified to ensure the overall system is capable of serving the build- out population. In addition, this a meets the needs of the build-out population derived during plann process. See Appendix B, Build-Out Population Projection Analysis. To implement the necessary improvements, the plan indicated that would have to spend approximately $400,000 to $600,000 annually course of 10 years. Its recommendations were based on three prio improving the water service in the Lomax Area, 2) removing bottlenecks in the system and improve system performance, and 3) make improveme accommodate future growth within the City. 7 City of La Porte Website.
