<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Arvada <br /> <br />The Arvada Parks Department was awarded $9,700 to help coordinate and host a <br />computerized water audit training program for persons responsible for management of large <br />turf grass areas in Colorado. <br /> <br />Steamboat Springs <br /> <br />The City was awarded $19,000 to design and construct a high-altitude Xeriscape <br />demonstration project at a local park and to develop a complimentary "Guide to Watei' Efficient <br />Landscapes in Colorado Mountain Communities. II <br /> <br />Ft. Collins <br /> <br />The City of Ft. Collins was awarded $10,000 to administer a project that will help answer the <br />question, "What are the water-saving benefits of organic soil preparation prior to residential <br />landscaping? II A rebate program covering half the cost of organic material will be used to help <br />50 volunteers prepare their soil for subsequent water use analysis. Assistance will be coordinated <br />from homebuilders and landscapers for possible sites and water use will be compared over time. <br /> <br />La Salle <br /> <br />La Salle received a grant of $4,572 to compare water needs of two grass species and a ground <br />cover for application in public open space. Three demonstration plots will be constructed in front <br />of the community center and water usage monitored. Labor and maintenance will be provided <br />by the town and the VFW. <br /> <br />Northwest Council of Governments <br /> <br />Northwest COG was awarded $20,425 to develop a computerized spreadsheet as a water <br />efficiency planning tool for resort communities. The proposal has two parts: an analysis of <br />housing and lodging units without efficient plumbing fixtures to gauge water use patterns, <br />followed by the development of a spreadsheet to determine cost effectiveness of efficiency <br />measures. Steamboat Springs was selected as the test site, but data and the product will be <br />applicable for use in other resort communities. <br /> <br />Cherry Creek Valley Water & Sanitation District <br /> <br />Cherry Creek Valley was awarded $38,400 to develop a Water Conservation Simulation <br />Model which would assist in determining the financial affects of water conservation measures. <br />The model will become the property of the state upon project completion and be available for <br />distribution to other agencies. <br /> <br />CWCB Annual Report, page 15 <br />
