CHAPTER 11. KITTITAS PUD #1 ANNEX <br />2 <br />– Line Truck, Double Bucket, Service Bucket, Backhoe, Flat Bead, Foreman Truck with an <br />estimated value of $951,966. <br />– Total Value of Critical Infrastructure/Equipment—The total value of critical infrastructure <br />and equipment owned by the jurisdiction is $26,986,196. <br />– List of Critical Facilities Owned by the Jurisdiction: <br />– Main Office and Headquarters, located at 1400 Vantage Highway in Ellensburg. The on- <br />site buildings consist of the 2-story main office building (2400 square feet including an <br />records archive and data center in the basement), the engineering / operations building <br />(1345 square feet-remodeled in 2009), and meter shop with attached conference room <br />(1900 square feet-remodeled in 2009), with an estimated value of $917,998. <br />– Warehouse and Material Yard, located behind and adjacent to the main office at 1400 <br />Vantage Highway in Ellensburg. These facilities include the vehicle storage building (2400 <br />square feet – constructed in 2008), the material storage yard/loading dock (0.83 acres), the <br />material warehouse (3000 square feet – future plans include replacing, remodeling or <br />expansion of this building). The value of these facilities is estimated to be $118,703. <br />– Total Value of Critical Facilities—The total value of critical facilities owned by the <br />jurisdiction is $1,036,701 <br />– Current and Anticipated Service Trends—The Kittitas PUD 2008 Power Requirements <br />Study projects the number of consumers, energy sales and capacity requirements through the <br />end of 2017. This projection anticipates that the PUD will increase by 29 percent. Total energy <br />sales are also projected to increase significantly by 2017. This projected increase is based upon <br />the anticipated increase in consumers coupled with the changing consumption patterns by <br />consumer class. <br />Recent economic activity has shown that the power requirements projection may have been a <br />bit high. The 2010 US census reported that Kittitas County has seen a population increase of <br />22.6 percent in the last 10 years while Washington State increased only 14.1 percent. So a 20 <br />to 25 percent growth rate may be a safer projection. <br />11.3.
