<br />Introduction <br /> <br />Streetscapes <br /> <br />Streetscapes <br /> <br />General <br />1, New Water Rate Structure (such as a water budget rate structure) (Provides nec- <br />essary water at reasonable rate; rewards conservation, penalizes water waste); <br /> <br />2, Water Waste (Service discontinuance for consumption overages when appropri- <br />ate,) <br /> <br />New Construction <br />1, Water Wise Landscape Design (Use of Xeriscape principles and landscape de- <br />sign best management practices, including: <br />a, Planning/design, <br />b, Soil preparation, <br />c, Use of mulch, <br />d, Xeric plant selection (no high water use plant materials for this type <br />of land use, no more than 15 inches of supplemental irrigation al- <br />lowed per season); <br />2, Water Wise Landscape Irrigation Design (Use of irrigation best management <br />practices and technologies including: <br />a, 750/0 irrigation efficiency; <br />b, No overhead irrigation; <br />c, Evapo-Transpiration based irrigation controllers); <br />d, Hydro-zoning; <br />e, Reduction of run off through installation of check valves; <br />f, Computerized irrigation control system with remote capability, <br /> <br />Existina <br />1, Town Properties (Required Water-Wise Landscape and Irrigation retrofit on all <br />Town controlled properties); <br />2, Incentive program for savings (reimbursed upon proof of savings) <br />a, Water Wise Landscape Design: Incentive program for use of Xeris- <br />cape principles and landscape design best management practices <br />and Xeriscape principles, including high water use plant material/turf <br />removal; <br />b, Water Wise Landscape Irrigation: Incentive program for use of irri- <br />gation best management practices and technologies including up- <br />grading irrigation systems to 750/0 efficiency, installation of sub- <br />surface drip irrigation, installation of evapo-transpiration based irri- <br />gation control, hydro-zoning, runoff reduction through installation of <br />check valves, and other upgrade of system components, <br />3, Technical Assistance Programs (such as irrigation audits,) <br /> <br />however districts or homeowners associations maintain most of them. <br />Those owned by the Town are under review for renovation to water <br />efficient design and irrigation through implementation of a capital im- <br />provement program. While most large streetscapes are already in <br />place, it is important to have criteria for new and renovated areas to <br />ensure that installations are water efficient. <br /> <br />The cost of implementing the Water Conservation Master Plan is allo- <br />cated between existing customers and new development. <br /> <br />Town of Castle Rock Water Conservation Master Plan <br /> <br />Page 1-13 <br />
