<br />Water Conservation Plan <br /> <br />8.2 PLAN FOR PUBLIC PARTICIPATION IN IMPLEMENTATION <br /> <br />Public participation is important to the implementation of a conservation plan because it <br />increases the lil(elihood of success by increasing customer buy-in of the new measures and <br />programs. Public participation was fulfilled initially through the Authority's regularly scheduled <br />board meetings. An advertisement for a 60-day public comment period for the Water <br />Conservation Plan was made in the Aurora Sentinel. A copy of the Water Conservation Plan was <br />available at the ACWW A offices for public review during the public comment period. The were <br />no comments received from the public. A copy of a memo from ACWW A regarding public <br />comments is in Appendix H. <br /> <br />8.3 PLAN FOR MONITORING AND EVALUATION PROCESSES <br /> <br />The measures and programs outlined in this plan will be monitored for their water savings and <br />associated costs. This data will be collected annually so that the programs effectiveness can be <br />tracl(ed. Because there will be multiple conservation measures and programs happening at the <br />same time, it may be difficult to tracl( the water savings by individual measure or program. <br />Therefore, the total water savings will be tracl(ed. Monitoring and evaluating the plan at frequent <br />intervals will also allow the Authority to discontinue a measure or program that is found to be <br />ineffective or too costly. <br /> <br />8.4 PLAN FOR UPDATING THE CONSERVATION PLAN <br /> <br />The Authority intends to update the plan, at a minimum, every 7 years and will update the plan <br />when significant changes occur to the system. When updating the plan the Authority will <br />examine the costs and benefits of the measures and programs that were implemented in the <br />previous plan. The Authority will also have the opportunity to add additional water saving <br />measures and programs. <br /> <br />A benefit of updating the plan at a minimum every 7 years will be to examine the actual water <br />use compared to the forecasted water use. The forecasts should be updated and revised. <br /> <br />8.5 WATER CONSERVATION PLAN ADOPTION, COMPLETION, AND <br />APPROVAL <br /> <br />This Water Conservation Plan was developed in conjunction with ACWW A staff.
