How does the Water Utility plan its infra-structure expansion and water rights acquisition program?
The Water Utility has planned it’s entire infra-structure expansion and water rights acquisition program in accordance with the 3% growth management ordinance. Each year the Operations Director prepares a Water Assessment Report for the Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors outlining the City’s water rights and production needs for a five year time frame. This report budgets for the City’s current water usage, assigns water to all available buildable parcels and lots, and estimates future commercial/industrial developments’ water usage, therefore, providing an accounting of water rights remaining for new development. This type of procedure, on an ongoing basis, allows Carson City to adequately plan it’s growing infra-structure requirement and water acquisition needs.
