($0 Total Cost by 2060)

The Governor's Office set a goal to reduce water usage by 25% between 2000 and 2025. For Washington County, thismeans a reduction from 335 gallons per capita per day (GPCD) in 2000 to 251 (GPCD) by 2025 and 218 (GPCD) by 2060.

Research has shown that the cost for reducing consumption by 1 AF per year costs approximately $10,600. What should bethe target GPCD in 2025 and 2060 and what is the expected cost?
