<br />CDM <br /> <br />Section 6 <br />Conservation Measures and Programs <br /> <br />Meter Service Connections - The metering of service connections (with exception to <br />District irrigation) has been a standard practice since the water system was brought <br />online. From 2002 to 2005, the District replaced the majority of its meters with radio <br />read meters. This will improve/maintain water accounting accuracy. Water savings <br />are obtained from this practice; however, it is difficult to quantify the savings given <br />that there is not a means to compare water demands before and after metering. <br />Metering of service connections will continue to be standard in the management of <br />the water system. <br /> <br />Metering of District Irrigation - The District began to meter its irrigation of parks and <br />open space in 2005. In 2006, the Utility Enterprise will begin billing the Parks and <br />Open Space development. This will improve the District's ability to monitor its <br />irrigation and accounting abilities. Although water savings from metering, the District <br />has also implemented a strict watering schedule to conserve water. It is difficult to <br />decipher the amount of savings through scheduling vs. District metering. In this Plan <br />the District savings is credited to irrigation schedule. District metering will become a <br />standard practice in the management of the water system. <br /> <br />Turf Restrictions and Landscape designjlayout - The District plans on restricting the <br />development of irrigated turf in new parks proposed for development. Artificial turf <br />will be used for recreational fields. <br /> <br />6-8 <br /> <br />O:\Castle_Pines_North\Conservation Plan\Drafts Submitted For Review\Final Conservation Plan.doc <br />
