Show divergence in estimates for 1995 is minimal. That is, the possible error in projection would be only 3 or 4 years in terms of being behind or'ahead of projections. The projections for M&I water needs within the Bonneville Unit does not consider any water savings from an increase in water rates. It is difficult to determine the amount "of reduction in municipal water consumption in the Bonneville Unit area which would result from increased water charges. Completed studies indicate that many variables affect this-reduction. Ihese studies indicate that a significant increase in water charges would cause an initial reduction in use, but continued increases in cost would not reduce uses very much. Some Studies indicate that this reduced use would only be temporary and use would, tend.., to. return- to- original levels after a short period of adjustment to the new prices. .-.--'• - Conversion of water from irrigation to M&I use is permissable under Utah law with just compensation. Collection of potential converted ""water, regulation, and delivery into the water systems to meet demand patterns would be required along with extensive water treatment to peet minimum State standards. Importation of water for M&I use from ' river basins to the north of the Bonneville Unit were considered, but the cost would be prohibitive. Northern water sources probably would Tt»e only temporary because requirements in those areas are expected to grow in near future years. Other alternatives such as reuse and recyclying present, water quality problems. Local stream development is limited in quantity, 50 percent joore costly, and would require reservoirs and aqueducts with possibly environmentally damaging effects.' _ . Discussion of Alternatives • . - ' .-"•• ------.' ' ~. . JU Stop Construction krguments for Ho additional Pederal expenditures for unit facilities ($400 million) .--.- - . - . ' . Avoid additional changes in the natural environment,, such as the reduction of natural flows in some 198 miles of streams, diking of Utah Lake, land disturbances from constructed facilities, and increased land use. -.*> ii |
