e e ~ monitoring, evaluation & reporting Analysis of water use, metered water use, and waste water treatment volumes will be the primary sources of information used to monitor changes and gains in water use efficiency resulting from the project. Data will be collected and reviewed monthly, and reports will be generated using quarterly and annual information. Decreases in wasted water, in particular the elimination of running taps to prevent freezing, will be viewed as positive project results and will be publicized as a part of the project's educational/informational component. Analysis of the Town's treated water and waste water volumes indicate an average daily per capita water use of 188 gallons in 1991 and 226 gallons in 1990, without any significant commercial, industrial or irrigation uses. Given the national figures of 85 to 100 gallons, the Trustees believe that significant improvements are called for and can be achieved through this project. ~ idea, resources, research The idea of a water conservation project for Empire was conceived by the Town's Board of Trustees. The Trustees view this project as a necessary measure to extend the life of the Town's water and waste water facilities, to control the Town's water-related operational costs, and to assist in planning for the community's future growth and development. Technical and practical assistance from the Colorado Water Conservation Board's Office of Water Conservation has been most helpful in the development of this project. The Trustees look forward to continued support from that organization in implementing the components of the project. The Town of Georgetown has assisted with information on water metering and billing procedures. At the other end of the pipe, the San Diego Water Department has provided valuable water conservation information. Educational and informational assistance will be solicited from other water providers and conservation projects in the state. 6
