<br />CDM <br /> <br />Section 5 <br />Conservation Goals <br /> <br />This section presents the water conservation goals for this Plan and explains how the <br />goals were developed. <br /> <br />5.1 Water Conservation Goals <br /> <br />The development of attainable water conservation goals are a key component to the <br />success of a conservation plan. The goals presented below were developed based on <br />the District's water system and demands. These goals provided a framework in the <br />selection and implementation of conservation programs and will also serve as a <br />guidance tool during implementation of the Plan. They were developed with the <br />intention of providing an optimal range of target savings, while also facilitating the <br />ability to easily measure the success of the plan on an annual basis. The goals are as <br />follows: <br /> <br />1. Provide a water savings target of an additional 175 to 220 AFY based on 2003 <br />water demand patterns (16 to 20 gpcd based on projected population at <br />buildout) through existing and additional conservation measures and programs. <br /> <br />2. Select conservation measures and programs that target outdoor irrigation and <br />customers of high use. Target customers include the following: <br /> <br />. Residential (indoor and outdoor usage) <br /> <br />. District irrigation of parks and open space <br /> <br />. HOA irrigation <br /> <br />3. Closely monitor District irrigation on parks and open space. <br /> <br />. Maintain 2005 irrigation levels on parks and drip irrigation. (District <br />irrigation of parks and open space were metered for the first time in 2005). <br /> <br />. Reduce open space irrigation by an additional 10 percent (5.9 AFY) with a <br />total outdoor District usage not to exceed 93 AFY. (District metered usage in <br />2005 was 98.9 AF) <br /> <br />4. <br /> <br />Provide assistance to the homeowner associations in reducing irrigated turf by <br />25 percent. <br /> <br />5. <br /> <br />Select conservation measures and programs that are compatible with the <br />community. <br /> <br />6. <br /> <br />Establish a monitoring system that collects a sufficient amount of data to <br />effectively measure the success of conservation programs and measures on an <br />annual basis. <br /> <br />5-1 <br /> <br />O:\Castle_Pines_North\Conservation Plan\Drafts Submitted For Review\Final Conservation Plan.doc <br />
