<br />City of Northglenn 2007 Water Conservation Plan <br /> <br />participation, frequency and duration of uses, and different water use rates associated <br />with fixtures, appliances and practices. The water savings that result from replacing a <br />less efficient appliance with one that uses less water can be estimated based upon the <br />difference in water required and estimates of frequency of use. Table 4 only lists water <br />conservation savings for measures which can be estimated with relative certainty. <br />Without intensive surveying and data collection, many other water conservation activities <br />must be evaluated more broadly, based upon overall changes in water use over time. <br /> <br />T bl 4 CWCS W k h t 1 3 "5 <br /> <br />fC <br /> <br />f <br /> <br />A f -f th <br /> <br />h 2006" <br /> <br />a e or s ee - ummary 0 onserva Ion C IVI les roug <br /> Approximate Is continued (or <br /> annual water renewed) <br /> savings, if known Implementation implementation <br />Water conservation measures and programs (1000 gallons) dates planned?! <br />Appliance rebate progrmn 1 9,902 2003 - present <br /> yes <br />Replacelnent of Inunicipal appliances 2 20 2002 - present <br /> yes <br />Free conservation kits3 3,876 2002 - 2005 yes <br />Municipal landscaping/ curbside sprinklerhead replacelnent 4 100 2001 - present yes <br />Outdoor watering schedule not known 2002 - present yes <br />Irrigation systeln adjustlnent class not known 2004,2007 yes <br />Xeriscape delno garden, classes, and educational infonnation not known 2002 - present yes <br />Low-water use turf test not known 2002 - present yes <br />Free rain gages not known 2002 - present yes <br />Water reuse agreelnent with FRICO 358,436 late 1970s - present yes <br />Systeln Inaintenance, leak detection and repair not known ongoing yes <br />Meter replacelnent progrmn not known 2003 - 2006 yes <br />Water conservation cOlllinunications not known 2002 - present yes <br />24-hour water hotlines not known 2002 - present yes <br />Annual July 4th Celebration water conservation booth not known 2003 - present yes <br />COlllinunity groups educationallnaterials and presentations not known 2002 - present yes <br />Youth education!
