| Relation | Central Utah Project; Western Waters Digital Library; response measures to prevent waste are incorporated into the bonneville unit plan along with the recognition that conservation will be necessary and will occur the bonneville unit plan anticipates that water use will be more conservative in the future As shown in table tabie bio blo B 10 new municipal and industrial water requirements are computed at a rate of 0.25 025 acre foot per capita per year which projects an overall decline over the present use rate in salt lake and utah counties of about 5 and 8 per cent respectively the current per capita use rate in salt lake county is consistent with consumption in other metropolitan areas in the arid west where lawn sprinkling and garden watering account for a large percentage of municipal water use location use rate gpcd denver 215 las vegas 290 phoenix 230 salt lake county 243 denver and phoenix receive a larger portion of their annual precipita preci pita tion in the summer during the high use period thus reducing the demand during those months the feasibility of meeting municipal water requirements through con servation efforts and a combination of other sources is discussed in the response to comment 5 above and in section H 2 of the DES and the FES 19 comment in our opinion the net adverse environmental consequences are not outweighed by economic benefits it appears very possible that the project would have no net economic benefit the economic analysis is not entirely based on sound economic rationale up to date conditions or current policies response the response to comment 13 above applies co to this comment as well 20 comment we firmly believe that the contemporary problems that we face in re source shortages and urban areas demand that we employ sophisticated and well reasoned planning and that it be done from the proper per spective spec tive in this situation we think it would be a mistake for the federal govenment government goven ment to preempt a local water supply planning process that should be fully integrated with overall development planning 38 |
