<br />Eagle River Water & Sanitation District CWCB Water Conservation Grant Application <br />Page 2 of 17 <br /> <br />Several new members were elected to the District's Board of Directors in 2006 due to <br />term limits. The development of an updated Water Conservation Plan will provide the <br />WCO and the "Board of Directors with a valuable opportunity. Throug'h this process they <br />willleam about the District's water supply system, customers, and previous and existing <br />water conservation activities. Plan development will also provide the opportunity for the <br />WCO and Board members to learn. about and become invested in a wide variety of <br />potential conservation measures and programs. It will also enable them to work with all <br />levels of District staff, outside individuals, and other entities who will be involved in Plan <br />implementation. <br /> <br />Though the District has developed a reliable water supply, development and <br />redevelopment within and around the District's service area have made it necessary to <br />review and revise water demand projections. Additionally, a portion of District's supplies <br />are leased and can. not be fully depended upon due to the potential for future contract <br />modifications. The resort character of the District's service area also provides a <br />challenge; the majority of residents are either second home owners or vacationers, <br />resulting in highly variable seasonal demands. <br /> <br />The District "viII use the grant from th~ Colorado Water Conservation Board (CWCB) to <br />develop a revised Water Conservation Plan which meets and exceeds the State's <br />reqllirements. The Plan will be submitted to the CWCB for approval. The District will <br />follow the steps described in the CWCB's "Water Conservation Plan Development <br />Guidance Document" (CWCB Guidance Document), with modifications where <br />appropriate. The requested funding and CWCB guidance will facilitate the development <br />of a Water Conservation Plan that will ensure the wise use of a safe and stable water <br />supply throughout the District's service area to meet existing and future needs. <br /> <br />Application <br /> <br />1.
