<br />Step 6 - Evaluate and Select Conservation Measures and Programs <br /> <br />Purpose <br />The activities described under this task evaluate and select the optimal conservation <br />measures and programs that the City may implement. <br /> <br />Tasks <br /> <br />6.1 Align measures and programs with identified gaps and goals - review all screened <br />conservation measures and programs, develop groupings of complimentary <br />measures and programs to address the identified gaps, and develop overall <br />packages of measures and programs for further evaluation. <br /> <br />6.2 Estimate costs and water saving of conservation options - Using Worksheet 6-1 as a <br />guide, estimate the cost of each packet of conservation measures and programs, and <br />the associated water savings. A benefit/ cost analysis will be included based on <br />implementation cost and expected water savings. <br /> <br />6.3 Compare benefits and costs - summarize conservation measure costs and water <br />savings, including a net benefit from all suggested measures using Worksheets 6-1 <br />and 6-2. <br /> <br />6.4 Define evaluation criteria - develop criteria used to select the conservation <br />measures/ programs for implementation. Key will be cost for implementation and <br />potential water savings, public expectations, overall implementability, and the cost <br />of replacement water (including treatment and distribution). <br /> <br />6.5 Select conservation measures and programs - summarize the evaluation of each <br />measure/program based on the evaluation criteria and indicate which <br />measures/ programs will be implemented. The water savings from the <br />implementation will be estimated using Worksheet 6-3 as a guide. <br /> <br />Step 7 - Integrate Resources and Modify Forecasts <br /> <br />Purpose <br />The activities described under this task will modify the supply and demand forecasts to <br />account for water savings from selected conservation measures and programs. The <br />benefits of conservation as well as revenue effects will also be addressed. <br /> <br />Tasks <br /> <br />7.1 Revise demand forecast - revise the demand forecast prepared in Step 2 to account <br />for the water savings of the measures/programs from Step 6. Worksheet 7-1 will be <br />used as a guide. <br /> <br />4 <br />
