<br />Approach <br /> <br />The Water Conservation Plan will be developed following CWCB's Water Conservation <br />Plan Development Guidance Document. This document outlines the requirements <br />needed for CWCB's approval. CWS will submit a draft plan to the City for review and <br />comment. Following the public-review process, CWS will incorporate public comments <br />and submit the Plan to CWCB for final approval. <br /> <br />The development of the plan is divided into subtasks similar to what is indicated in the <br />CWCB Model Plan Template. These subtasks list the items that need to be included in <br />the Water Conservation Plan for CWCB approval. Where appropriate, CWS will use <br />previous studies. <br /> <br />Step 1 - Profile the Existing Water System <br /> <br />Purpose <br /> <br />The activities described under this task will provide information on the City's existing <br />water supply system. <br /> <br />Approach <br /> <br />CWS will describe the physical characteristics of the City's water system using <br />Worksheet 1-1 as a guide.
