Since the 50% draft of the City of Fort Lupton's Water Conservation Plan (WCP), which contained
Steps 1-4 per the Guidance Document supplied by CWCS, the City and Clear Water Solutions have
worked to complete the final steps, Steps 5-9, of the WCp,

After establishing our water conservation goals in Step 4, we identified a universal list of water
conservation measures and programs for possible implementation to achieve those goals. In order to
develop a complete list, we met with the two largest water users within the City, Thermo Power Plant
and Coyote Creek Golf Course, to brainstorm goals and possible conservation measures related to
their water usage. We believe these entities know their businesses best, so we wanted to involve
them in the development of goals and water conservation measures/programs associated with their
businesses.

We screened this universal list of conservation measures and programs based on three criteria:

1. Anticipated benefit-cost of implementation
2. Public acceptance
3. Staff and Council approval

Clear Water Solutions and City staff reviewed all of the conservation measures/programs to
determine which ones would be evaluated further, Some of the measures/programs were "thrown
out" immediately because there was a major obstacle with at least one of the screening criteria.

The list of conservation measures and programs to be evaluated further were then categorized into
four categories:

1. Rebates and Incentives
2. Educational Programs
3. Regulatory Controls
4. Utility Maintenance Programs

This was done to ensure similar conservation measures were not double counted and for ease in the
benefit-cost analysis.
