Customers of Denver Water continue to decrease water use, according to the Rocky Mountain News [April 21, 2005, "Denver Water use falls significantly"]. From the article, "This year, Denver Water is forecasting a 24 percent drop in overall water use, more than double its original projection, which foresaw an 11 percent drop...about 92.8 billion gallons of water this year. New projections show the utility's 1.2 million metro-area customers are likely to use just 70.5 billion gallons, largely because of lessons learned from the drought. The phenomenon, known as a drought shadow, is expected to continue through the next nine years. By 2014, even with a projected 1 percent annual growth in its customer base, Denver Water expects to sell 87.7 billion gallons of water, less than it normally would have sold in 2005. The drop in sales likely means major changes for Denver Water, board members said, as the utility struggles to adjust to a tighter budget and craft future water supply plans."
