Draft <br />January 22, 2003 <br />Page 5 of? <br /> <br />Our resource stewardship <br />But, just as importantly, we believe those of us in the Denver metropolitan area have an <br />obligation to continue our progress in managing our current and future supplies wisely. <br />These management responsibilities include: <br /> <br />I. Progressive land use. and community development standards tliat support effective <br />and efficient use of scarce water supplies; <br /> <br />2. Effective water conservation and demand management practices; <br /> <br />3. Higher levels of water reclamation and re-use; <br /> <br />4. Increased operational efficiency of the current water supply systems. <br /> <br />We also recognIze that progress in implementation of these principles may require <br /> <br />additional cooperation among water agencies in the Denver metropolitan area. <br /> <br />Conclusion <br />In conclusion, we wish to express our gratitude for the efforts of the Colorado 58, and for <br />their recognition of the desirability of establishing "common ground" in anticipation of <br />new discussion of water development within Colorado. <br /> <br />We also wish to caution that these draft principles have been created by an informal <br />coalition comprising representatives of the Denver Metropolitan Mayors Caucus, the <br />Denver Metro Chamber of Commerce, the Denver Water Board and the Aurora Water <br />Department, with input from a representative of the Colorado environmental community. <br />However, none of these bodies have yet been formally presented with this draft for <br />review and approval. <br />
