Castle Rock Synthetic Turf Project Application for Water Efficiency Grant (29 percent by 2055), and imported surface water (45 percent by 2055). The following actions were recommended in that plan: ^ Implementation of a water conservation plan ^ Full development of Castle Rock's current water rights ^ Full use of the water rights from reclaimable water Castle Rock is entitled to use ^ Working in partnership with other South Metro providers to import surface water to reach an overall water supply mix of renewable and reusable water that is 75 percent sustainable ^ Development of reservoir storage to maximize efficient management of water supply ^ Maintenance and development of Castle Rock's Denver Basin groundwater supply to meet the demands of continuing growth n1 the short term, and to provide reliability and a smaller supply role in the long term ^ Development of a financing plan to generate capital funds required for transitioning to a sustainable supply s Although the overall mixture of supplies has been identified, specific water sources and storage options are still being developed. These efforts include participating in the Rueter-Hess Reservoir enlargement and in the Chatfield Reservoir reallocation projects. Additionally, water conservation will play a significant role in ensuring adequate future water supplies. 2.0 Water Conservation 2.1 Historical Conservation Water Savings Castle Rock has promoted water conservation since the 1980's, including development and implementation of a comprehensive water conservation program in 1996. The Town also began to implement a variety of additional conservation measures in 2004. Water savings relative to the 1996 plan through 2005 reflected a savings of nearly 5% per capita per day. Because of the wet conditions observed in 2004, it is difficult to precisely quantify the water savings associated with Castle Rock's conservation programs. Table 3 provides estimated arulual water savings from 2004 to 2006 for conservation measures where savings could be quantified. These include rebates for 3-day irrigation timers, smart controllers, and high efficiency clothes washers. 5 Source: Town of Castle Pock. 2006. Water Resource Strategic Master Plan. 8
