e e ~ features and benefits The Trustees believe that the innovativeness of Keeping The Good Ship S.S Empire Afloat lies in its appeal to both children and adults and in its design to capture the imagination and cooperation of all the members of the community. A number of municipalities are faced with problems similar to Empire's and the project's description and procedures will be available for duplication by other communities, both large and small. All results of the project will be disseminated to other agencies through DRCOG's Water MAC and the Upper Clear Creek Basin 208 Water Management Committee. The important fiscal and ecological benefits of the project will be complemented by the development of an esprit de corps between the Town's Trustees and the Town's people. All of us have seen the positive results which education has brought about to discourage smoking and alcohol consumption in our Nation. The Trustees believe that similar results can be achieved, through education, regarding water conservation. The Trustees' target is to achieve a forty percent reduction in per-capita water use from the present usage of approximately 200 gallons to 120 gallons per day. This is felt to be a realistic and necessary goal that can be met through the implementation of this project. ~ the crew This water conservation demonstration project is designed to serve the Town of Empire and its people, However, participation on the part of the Office of Water Conservation, other water providers, conservation projects, and various public agencies will be necessary to insure the quality and success of each phase and component of the project.
