In 2014, the City is paying 25% of water costs, 50% in 2015, 75% in <br />2017, and full cost in 2017. <br />The City customer category is currently not billed and is authorized non - revenue water. However the City is <br />phasing in charging itself as a water customer; in 2014, the City is paying 25% of water costs, 50% in 2015, <br />75% in 2017, and full cost in 2017. Not all commercial establishments have a separate irrigation tap for <br />outdoor water use; the City code provides guidance on how large an area can be before a separate irrigation <br />tap is required. <br />Construction water is authorized for use through bulk water usage permits and is tracked separately from <br />the main customer categories in Table 4. Bulk water usage is metered using several bulk water meters in the <br />system. The demand depends on the amount of construction each year. Bulk water usage is accounted for in <br />the demand projections in Section 2.4, Demand Forecast. Other authorized uses that are not currently <br />metered or billed (non- revenue) include distribution system flushing, firefighting, and street washing. A <br />majority of water uses are metered and billed. However, the City does not have accurate estimates for this <br />non - revenue water, but the volume of water for these purposes is usually small compared to the total water <br />demand. <br />The City also has a reuse water system that currently irrigates City properties. Reuse water is used for <br />irrigating Coal Creek Golf Course, Community Park, Louisville Sports Complex, Miner's Field, and the <br />wastewater treatment plant. Reuse water usage is summarized in Section 2.2.2, Reuse Water. <br />WBG071714052946BS0 2 -3 <br />
