House <br />Bill 05-1254 created the Water Efficiency Grant Program Cash Fund, to be administered by the <br />Board. The fund currently has $345,760 for fiscal year 2006 and may be distributed to: 1) <br />Covered entities to aid in achieving the goals outlined in their locally adopted Water <br />Conservation Plans; or 2) Public and private agencies whose primary purpose is to promote the <br />benefits of water resource conservation for education and outreach aimed at demonstrating the <br />benefits of water efficiency. Further, the Guidelines define water conservation to mean broadly <br />water use efficiency, wise water-use, water transmission and distribution system efficiency, and <br />supply substitution. The objective of water conservation is a long-term increase in the <br />productive use of water supply in order to satisfy water supply needs without compromising <br />desired water services. <br /> <br />Summary of Proposal <br /> <br />(/ <br />\, <br /> <br />The OWCDP received a Water Efficiency Grant application from the Center for ReSource <br />Conservation (CRC), a non-profit agency located in Boulder, Colorado.
