<br />Iniect wettinG aGent at Golf course <br /> <br />The measure requires injecting a wetting agent into the ground, which assists in soil <br />enhancement and improves the effectiveness of the water being applied. Wetting <br />agents have been proven to help in watering practices and will be considered further in <br />the planning process. <br /> <br />Place wind and rain sensors at parks, schools, open space areas, and Golf course to <br />avoid irriGation durinG hiGh winds and/or rain <br /> <br />There are times when the automatic sprinkler systems will be set to water when it is <br />raining or windy. The City will consider installing wind and rain sensors to shut down <br />automated sprinkler systems during these times. Although this program may be cost <br />prohibitive, it will be considered further. <br /> <br />Improve billinG meters <br /> <br />This is an important measure to implement to quantify current water use. Currently, the <br />City's billing data is inaccurate requiring assumptions to be made in current water use. <br />This program will be evaluated further. <br /> <br />IrriGation eauipment improvements at residences and businesses <br /> <br />Recent improvements in irrigation systems (including subsurface and drip irrigation <br />systems) should decrease the amount of water required to irrigate a given land area. <br />The City encourages residences and businesses to utilize best management practices <br />when constructing new or replacing old irrigation systems. However, the City feels that <br />management of an incentive based system related to subsurface sprinkler or other <br />similar type irrigation systems would be very problematic to administer. Accordingly, <br />this program will not be evaluated further. <br /> <br />Clear Water Solutions, Inc. <br />City of Fort Lupton <br />2007 Water Conservation Plan <br /> <br />41 <br />
