<br />Rate structure chanaes <br /> <br />The City is currently evaluating its rate structure and rates on an annual basis, <br />comparing them to fixed costs, and making adjustments as necessary. As part of this <br />program, the City will evaluate commercial rates to determine if they are keeping up <br />with the costs to deliver water. Appropriate changes will be made as necessary, and <br />thus this program will be evaluated further in the planning process. <br /> <br />Reauirina open space with new developments to be natural areas <br /> <br />The City does not want to require this program at this time. It would entail new <br />development annexing into the City to leave open space areas as natural areas. This <br />program will not be evaluated further. <br /> <br />City-wide waterina restrictions <br /> <br />The City is amenable to mandatory watering restrictions if the benefit and cost make <br />sense for the City. This conservation program will be evaluated further. <br /> <br />Revision of water bill to make it more understandable and informative <br /> <br />The City has made an effort to keep its water bills simple and easy to understand for its <br />customers. There are other alternatives that would be more beneficial for water <br />conservation. No improvements will be made to the water bill at this time, and thus this <br />measure will not be considered further. <br /> <br />Turf restrictions <br /> <br />There would be much resistance to this water conservation measure. The measure <br />would establish restrictions on the amount of turf that could be planted with new <br />development. The City will not evaluate this alternative further. <br /> <br />Irriaation eauipment improvements at parks, schools, open space areas, and aolf <br />course <br /> <br />As irrigation continues at the parks, schools, open space areas, and golf course, the <br />equipment becomes less and less efficient; requiring more water to irrigated the same <br />amount of ground. The City is open to a program to replace irrigation equipment, <br />although cost could be a major factor. This program will be evaluated further. <br /> <br />Replace turf with concrete at aolf course <br /> <br />In order to minimize costs when the golf course was first constructed, some of the golf <br />cart paths were left as turf areas that are being irrigated. The City is open to connecting <br />the cart path system with concrete, and thus reducing the amount of irrigated ground. <br />Replacement of turf grass at the golf course will be evaluated further. <br /> <br />Clear Water Solutions, Inc. <br />City of Fort Lupton <br />2007 Water Conservation Plan <br /> <br />40 <br />
