A study funded by grant money in Arapahoe County shows the county water supply is sufficient for now.More people are expected to move in the coming years, and Arapahoe County Commissioner Jeff Baker said this ignites the need to conserve.The study lists several goals to ensure the county's supply lasts long-term like closing potential gaps between future supply and demand, improving water use efficiency and extending the life of Denver basin aquifers.
'Our study showed that we can produce about 141,000 acre feet of water every year. And that's fine, because with our current population of 656,000 we need about 83,000 or a little bit more than that, 83,000 acre feet of water,' Baker said. 'But if our population does grow as projected to that 900 to 960,000 the demand will be between 108 and 116,000 acre feet per year if we conserve.
