Washington County has an alterna ernativ tive e for meeting its future water needs:  Municipal conservation is a proven, reliable approach to lowering demand:  1% reduction in gpcd each leads to 42,000 acre-feet savings by 2060  Recycled water (a/k/a ReUse) is available to meet some new demands:  Nearly 17,000 acre-feet available by 2060  Re-allocating water currently used by agriculture also meets some demand:  13,600 acre-feet likely to be available from land conversions  Over 35,000 acre-feet if you also add in potential water leases 7
