<br />Rocky Mountain News: Local <br /> <br />Page 2 of2 <br /> <br />summer lawn-watering rate, according to Director of Public Works Doug Short. The idea is to add another <br />weapon to the city's water- wise arsenal. <br /> <br />"Adding a. fifth tier (to the current four-tiered rate structure) would make it very expensive," Short said. <br /> <br />Lafayette also has moved to aggressively manage growth. In the mid- 1990s,it limited new home buildrng <br />to 200 units. per year. Since then, residents added 50 affordable homes to the annual cap. Then last year, it <br />set aside nearly :L,ObO acres as open space, land that otherwise would have been developed. That was done <br />primarily because of concerns over water and other utilities, Short said. <br /> <br />''It makes it very easy to determine how much water we're going to need in the future," Short said. <br /> <br />Copyright 2005, Rocky Mountain News.
