Draft North & East Metro Groundwater Management Area Plan 4-12 periods as part of the water supply planning process.The trends information is not a statistical analysis. For the 2008-2012 period, all of the municipal public water suppliers in the North & East Metro GWMA submitted the water use reporting information sheets as required, but 14 percent left some items on the forms blank,and 7 percent missed some yearly submissions. Each public water supplier may track information differently based on differing billing systems, and each item is not categorized in the same way by all suppliers. For example, one supplier may categorize an apartment building to be a commercial user,whereas a different supplier may categorize an apartment building to be a residential user.Standardizing these categories would require that some suppliers change their billing or other information systems. In the North &East Metro GWMA,45 percent of municipal suppliers exceeded the residential use goal of 75 gallons per capita per day, 21 percent exceeded the maximum day-to-average-day ratio goal of 2.6, and 45 percent exceeded the maximum unaccounted-for water goal of 10 percent.Values for these three measures ranged from 40 to 110 gallons per capita per day, 2 to 11, and 0.4 to 29 percent, respectively. Additional water-use data reporting that is supplemental to the monthly appropriation volumes is currently only required for municipal water systems, and not for most other appropriation permit holders. Additional reporting for non-municipal systems would fill a data gap under this objective. 70
