Only <br />limited information on the current and proposed rate <br />structure is provided. More detail would be beneficial. An <br />increasing block rate is noted as an effective measure to <br />consider. It is not clear in what time frame Alamosa <br />expects to adopt a conservation oriented rate structure. <br />Yes./ No <br />Comment: <br /> <br />Yes./ No <br />Comment: <br /> <br />Yes./ No <br />Comment: <br /> <br />Yes./ No <br />Comment: <br /> <br />Yes ./ - No <br /> <br />Comment: It is not clear how the conservation savings <br />will be achieved given the level of effort described in the <br />plan. The goal is lofty (30% by 2018) but it is unlikely this <br />goal can or will be achieved given the program outlined in <br />the plan. <br /> <br />Plan review comments: <br />The overall conception of the plan is fine and with the addendum provide in early July, of the <br />required elements are present. The plan plus the addendum meet the Colorado statutory <br />requirements and approval of the Alamosa water conservation plan is recommended. <br /> <br />The plan notes that conservation must play an increasingly important role for Alamosa in the <br />future as a recent judicial ruling determined that the local aquifer is being depleted at an <br />
