<br />CDM <br /> <br />Section 2 <br />Profile of Existing Water System <br /> <br />Customers may water every third day on designated water days. The days on which a <br />customer may water are based on the last digit of their address. These days are posted <br />on the website for easy access. Water times are allowed from 6 p.m. to 12 a.m. in the <br />evenings and from 12 a.m. to 6 a.m. in the mornings. <br /> <br />Water restrictions were enforced by a full-time District employee in 2004 that <br />patrolled the neighborhood. Following the first infraction, which was a warning, a <br />fine was issued. The fine increased as the number of infractions increased. See <br />Table 2-9. Water restriction are still mandatory, however, the District did not patrol <br />the service area in 2005. <br /> <br />Table 2-9 Fine for Infraction of Water Restrictions <br /> <br />Infraction Fine <br />First Warning <br />Second $75 <br />Third $100 <br />Fourth $150 <br />Fifth $200 <br /> <br />As disclosed in Section 9.0, rebates of $200 will be provided to customers who <br />purchase an evapotranspiration (ET) controller. ET controllers regulate irrigation <br />based on ET (the amount of water that is lost to the atmosphere through evaporation <br />and plant transpiration). ET is estimated by using empirical calculations and <br />monitoring atmospheric factors that influence ET, such as humidity and temperature. <br /> <br />The timing and amount of irrigation for systems using ET controllers depends on <br />atmospheric and weather conditions rather than the day of the week. Consequently, <br />residents using ET controllers may be exempt from the water restrictions. Upon <br />receiving the ET controller rebate, residents will also receive a notice that they may <br />post to notify the District that they are exempt from the watering restrictions. <br />Table 6-1 in Section 6 provides additional details on the ET controller rebate. <br /> <br />Planning Initiatives <br /> <br />The District is planning to develop a reliable and sustainable (renewable) surface <br />water supply and has been involved with several studies focusing on this. The District <br />has participated in regional planning studies, including the South Metro Water <br />Supply Study and is participating in the enlargement of Reuter Hess Reservoir and <br />the reallocation of surface water in Chatfield Reservoir. The South Metro Study <br />addressed the declining groundwater levels throughout the South Metro area and <br />evaluated the potential of conjunctive use. The study indicated that conjunctive use <br />can curtail groundwater declines and supply a renewable water source to the area. <br /> <br />As previously mentioned, the District is currently developing an IWRP. The IWRP <br />will outline the methodologies needed to attain reliable and sustainable water supply. <br />This supply will most likely consist of a combination of water supply and <br />management options including surface water, conservation, conjunctive use, and <br />water reuse. This IWRP will identify and prioritize the District's main objectives in <br />obtaining a reliable supply. These objectives will be used to evaluate water supply <br /> <br />2-10 <br /> <br />O:\Castle_Pines_North\Conservation Plan\Drafts Submitted For Review\Final Conservation Plan.doc <br />
