MWMC WASTEWATER FACILITIES PLAN AND SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT CHARGE UPDATE - <br /> RESPONSE TO APRIL 2, 2004, QUESTIONS FROM EUGENE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE <br /> <br />Metro Plan projection by about 0.2%. The current MWMC service area population (2002) is <br />217,737. The projected service area population in 2025 is 297,585, which represents a 36.7 <br />percent increase. MWMC's service area does not directly align with transportation, water, <br />and power supply jurisdictions, which make direct comparisons difficult. However, to <br />provide a reality check on the MWMC projected values, we have compared the City of <br />Eugene portion of the MWMC projections to the Eugene Water and Electric Board (EWEB) <br /> <br /> 450,000 <br /> <br /> 400,000 <br /> 350,000 ~ <br /> 300,000 <br /> <br /> 250,000 <br /> 200,000 *" * Historical Population <br /> 150,000 : * <br /> -~-2004 Facilities Plan <br /> 100,000 <br /> <br /> 50,000 · Metro Plan <br /> <br /> 0 ' I ' I ' I ' I ' I ' I 'I ' <br /> 1970 1980 1990 2000 2010 2020 2030 2040 2050 <br /> Year <br /> <br />projections that have recently been developed as part of EWEB's 2004 Water Master Plan. <br />Estimated existing and projected population values for the City of Eugene from the MWMC <br />2004 Wastewater Facilities Plan and the EWEB 2004 Water Master Plan are presented in the <br />following table. The MWMC 2025 projection is 5% higher than the EWEB projection. The <br />EWEB population projection is used to project future water needs. In developing that water <br />use projection, a 12% allowance is added to account for daily fluctuations in water use. <br />Considering that EWEB applied a water use allowance, the jurisdictional boundaries do not <br />coincide exactly, and the fact that there is some uncertainty associated with any 20-year <br />population projection, there is ffot an inconsistency between these two population <br />projections. <br /> <br />CHAMBER OF COMMERCE RESPONSES FINAL.
