<br />e <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />~ the details <br /> <br />The project's educational goal will be accomplished by distributing <br />information on efficient water use practices on a monthly basis to all water users <br />as a part of their water and waste water billing. In keeping with the project's <br />theme the information will be presented as Shipboard Regulations of the S.S. <br />Empire. International Flag Signaling, semaphore and nautical terms will be <br />incorporated to signal progress and compliance. Pamphlets and information on <br />water conservation practices will be distributed by the Town, and Shipboard <br />Regulations, water conservation tips, will also appear on the Town's public access <br />television channel and in local newspapers. <br /> <br />Public forums, to promote conservation and efficient water use, will be <br />held at regular meetings of the Trustees. Speakers from the Office of Water <br />Conservation and other water conservation professionals will be asked to address <br />the public meetings and school sessions. <br /> <br />Board members will conduct classes at local elementary schools <br />encouraging the children to develop sound water use practices and to share them <br />with their parents. A water conservation curriculum, with supporting materials, <br />will be developed to provide to the teachers. Field trips to the water and waste <br />water treatment facilities will be conducted for students and adults. <br /> <br />The project will be directed by the Trustees and coordinated by the Town <br />Clerk with assistance from the Town's Treasurer. <br /> <br />Water waste problems will be identified and addressed through a system of <br />residential and commercial plumbing audits conducted by the water users and the <br />Town. Information gained from the audits will be computerized and evaluated <br />and used to monitor progress and plan for future water delivery projects. <br />Additionally, the Town will audit its own plumbing and undertake a program to <br />locate and correct leaks in the municipal water distribution system. A waste <br />water treatment facility expansion is in process, and will be completed in 1992. <br /> <br />The project's insulation component is aimed at eliminating the running of <br />taps during cold weather, a practice which contributes to hydraulic overloading <br />of the Town's waste water facility and causes unnecessary demands for pumped <br />and treated water. <br /> <br />4 <br />
