<br />COLORADO SPRINGS UTILITIES' 2008-2012 WATER CONSERVATION PLAN <br /> <br />PROGRAM SCREENING <br /> <br />In order to achieve the water conservation goals established for the 2008-2012 Water <br />Conservation Plan, Springs Utilities went through the rigorous process of identifying and <br />selecting water conservation programs for implementation. In January 2006, Springs Utilities <br />created a broad inventory of measures and programs for consideration. The inventory was <br />developed after reviewing best management practices, consultant reports, end use studies and <br />internal planning documents. Springs Utilities evaluated conservation measures by category <br />(i.e., education, rates, rebates, audits and regulations) and by marl(et (i.e., indoor vs. outdoor, <br />residential vs. commercial, new vs. existing construction). <br /> <br />Table 6: List of Potential Measures & Programs - Commercial (Existing) <br /> <br />Education and Awareness <br />Facility manager education series Restaurant and lodging education series <br />Rebates and Incentives <br />Indoor Outdoor <br />Ultra-low-flush toilet rebate ET controller rebate <br />Dual-flush toilet rebate Irrigation equipment rebate <br />High-efficiency toilet rebate Rain sensor rebate <br />Low-flow showerhead rebate Soil moisture sensor rebate <br />Low flow urinal rebate Strip turf retrofit rebate <br />Pre-rinse spray nozzle rebate Turf reduction rebate <br />Custom Xeriscape rebate <br />Cooling system incentive Tar~eted <br />Flexible efficiency incentives Commercial car wash efficiency equipment <br />Irrigation system incentive Commercial laundry efficiency incentive <br />Process water incentive Pressure washing efficiency incentive <br />Water efficiency study grants <br />Audits and Retrofits <br />Cooling tower monitoring Public building audit and retrofit <br />Large facility audits Utility building audit and retrofit <br />Large landscape audits Sprinl(ler checl( program <br />Low-income housing audit and retrofit <br />Rates and Meterin~ <br />Automated meter reading /smart metering Surcharges <br />Critical peal( pricing Time-of-use rates <br />Dual water meter requirement Water budgets <br />Sub-metering requirement <br />Market Transformation <br />ET irrigation scheduling networl( Turf-to-native conversion program <br />Leadership in Energy & Environmental <br />Design (LEED) certification <br /> <br />21 <br />
