<br />Local <br />· Local water providers and users need to better understand the cost and benefit of water <br />conservation activities. <br />· Local water providers need better information regarding the cost/benefit of specific <br />water conservation measures and programs. <br />· Local water providers and users need better water conservation monitoring and <br />measurement tools, which include having well defmed and broadly accepted metrics for <br />tracking changes in customer water use. <br />· Local water providers and users need help in developing better water pricing and rate <br />structures, including developing water budgets for individual customers - residential, <br />commercial, institutional and industrial. <br />· Local water users need to better understand the water quality impacts related to water <br />use and water conservation activities. <br /> <br />Recommendations <br /> <br />The success of the Workshops provided insight into additional activities that the CW CB should <br />consider, include: <br /> <br />· Continue to support the Workshops being conducted by Colorado-based non-profits, water <br />utilitiesJ special districts and water conservancy districts in geograpmesnot previously <br />accessed and in some locations desiring additional Workshops - including, but not limited to, <br />the Grand Valley, Upper Colorado, Yampa and White River basins, in and near Durango, <br />Douglas County, and the lower South Platte and Arkansas River basins - as these efforts <br />support local water conservation planning and implementation, the 1 177 basin rOWld table <br />dialogue and processes, and the SWSI Phase II efforts. <br /> <br />· Support the ongoing water conservation policy dialogue currently occurring as part of the <br />Workshops through the administration and performance of the Office's various legislative <br />mandates, especially those related to water resources and water conservation education and <br />technical assistance. <br /> <br />. Use information and outcomes obtained during the implementation of the Workshops to <br />support legislation and other policy development that assist the Office, CWCB and DNR in <br />the performance of their legislative mandates. <br /> <br />In additionJ G WI and its partners need to continue to develop and leverage the Workshops as <br />grassroots outreach into the various Colorado geographies, for purposes of educating our citizens, <br />elected and appointed officials, and our water managers and professionals, and promoting the <br />benefits of water conservation to as broad an audience as will listen. <br /> <br />Next year's Workshops will need to include new and developing content related to commercial, <br />industrial and institutional water conservation, new uses of GIS and satellite data in developing <br />and monitoring meaningful water conservation activities, and the benefits and challenges of <br />regional water conservation planning. The Workshops will also need to expand the audience of <br />participants to include more HOA managers, developers and irrigators. <br /> <br />12 <br />
