<br />area that we identified for potential water savings. Goals for each of these categories <br />were established through the planning process with ELCO's Board and staff. These <br />water savings goals are shown in the following table along with the current and <br />projected water use. The savings shown is from the projected 2016 water use. <br /> <br />Table ES.1 - Water Conservation Goals <br /> <br /> 2006 2016 Reduction <br /> 2006 Water Use per 2016 Projected Use per 0/0 from 2016 <br />Categories: Taps Use Tap Taps Water Use Tap Reduction Water Use Area of focus <br /> ac-ft ac-ft/tap ac-ft ac-ftltap ac-ft <br /> Outdoor irrigation, <br /> rebates and increased <br /> effort of existing <br />Single Family 4864 2,314 0.48 8,567 3,993 0.47 50/0 200 measures <br /> Irrigation taps, motels, <br />Non-residential 484 643 1.33 784 2,232 2.85 50/0 112 other com mercial <br /> Leak detection & sub- <br />Mobile Homes 963 226 0.23 1,093 245 0.22 50/0 12 metering <br />Multi-family 144 108 0.75 485 00/0 0 <br /> <br />Totals: <br /> <br />3,291 <br /> <br />6,955 <br /> <br />324 <br /> <br />Unaccounted for <br />losses - reduce Leak detection program, <br />from 1 00/0 of WTP filter backwash <br />production to 50/0 497 500/0 249 reuse <br /> <br />Total demand reduction: 572 <br /> <br />A water savings goal was not established for the Multi-Family category at this time <br />because ELCO's limited resources for water conservation are better spent in the other <br />areas. The goals established focused on the areas that could be successfully impacted <br />considering factors such as water savings potential, costs, control, and public <br />acceptance. <br /> <br />Evaluation and Selection of Conservation Measures and Programs <br /> <br />A universal list of conservation measures and programs were compiled for <br />consideration to achieve the water savings goals. This universal list was screened to <br />determine which measures/programs would undergo a benefit-cost analysis. Screening <br />criteria were established based on discussions with the Board and staff. Each measure <br />and program was evaluated using the following criteria. <br /> <br />1. Staff and Board approval <br />2. Public acceptance <br />3. System limitations <br />4. Financial implications <br /> <br />Both supply-side and demand-side measures and programs were screened. The <br />measures and programs were grouped into four major categories: Utility Maintenance, <br />Regulatory Controls, Educational Programs, and Rebates and Incentives. The <br />groupings helped to define the nature of each measure/program and which District staff <br /> <br />Clear Water Solutions, Inc. <br />East Larimer County Water District <br /> <br />2007 Water Conservation Plan <br /> <br />ES-2 <br />
