<br />CHAPTER 8 - EVALUATION AND SELECTION <br /> <br />Combination of Water Conservation Measures and Programs <br /> <br />As part of the evaluation and selection process, the broad range of measures <br />and programs previously identified in Chapter 7 to be evaluated further was <br />broken into four major categories: Rebates and Incentives, Educational <br />Programs, Regulatory Controls, and Utility Maintenance Programs. <br /> <br />Rebates and Incentives <br />. Rebates for rainfall and wind sensors <br />. Rebates for low-flow fixtures - toilets, showerheads, faucets, and clothes <br />washers <br /> <br />Educational Proarams <br />. Water-savings demonstrations <br />. School programs <br />. Water facility tours <br />. Water bill informational inserts <br /> <br />Reaulatory Controls <br />. Rate structure changes <br />. City-wide watering restrictions <br /> <br />Utilitv Maintenance Proarams <br />. Place wind and rain sensors at parks, schools, open space areas, and golf <br />course to avoid irrigation during high winds and/or rain <br />. Increase water treatment plant efficiency <br />. Replace turf with concrete at golf course <br />. Injecting wetting agent at golf course <br />. Leak identification and repair <br />. Irrigation equipment improvement at parks, schools, open space areas, <br />and golf course <br />. Improve billing meters <br /> <br />Estimate Costs and Water Savings of Conservation Options <br /> <br />The potential conservation options available to the City are separated into two <br />main categories - potable and non-potable use. <br /> <br />Potable Use - Indoor Use Conservation Options <br /> <br />Prior to understanding potential inside use savings, it is important to first <br />understand the magnitude of typical residential indoor use.
