The conservation measures and programs selected for implementation shown in
Table ES-1 are estimated to provide water savings within the range of 100 to 220 AF
during the 10-year planning period from 2006 to 2015. Savings will likely increase
over time as the number of participants in the programs increase. Conservation
savings could reduce annual operating costs (amount of water that needs to be treated
and distributed is reduced) as well as the amount of water rights that would need to
be purchased for surface water supplies.

Illlplelllentation Plan

The new conservation measures identified in Table ES-1 are planned to be
implemented in 2007. This will provide a suitable period of time for the District to
organize the facilitation of the measures and programs.

An effective monitoring and evaluation process will playa key role in the success of
the conservation effort. As the District begins to acquire more data, trends between
demands and conservation measures/programs may be established improving the
ability to assess the effectiveness of the measures/programs. Successes as well as
areas where improvements may be made will be identified, further improving the
overall conservation program.

The public will also playa key role in the effectiveness of the Plan. The success of
conservation measures and programs depends on public response. The more engaged
the community is in altering their behavior to conserve water and participate in the
conservation programs, the more effective the conservation measures and programs
will be. Annual monitoring results on the effectiveness of the conservation programs
and measures will be conveyed to the public. Public feedback as well as staff input
will be incorporated into an action plan for the following year.

The District plans on revising this Plan no later than June of 2012. The modified Plan
will incorporate findings of the annual monitoring data and public feedback. The
public will have an opportunity to review the modified Plan.
