are also outlined in this plan and will be incorporated into the water conservation plan as <br />soon as available. <br />The largest water use was identified from residential, commercial and irrigation water <br />customers. Unaccounted-for losses are 10% on average. FCLWD has made efforts in <br />the past to reduce unaccounted-for losses. In addition, conservation measures included <br />distribution of educational water-savings materials. Historical averages show that <br />73.5% of the total water use is residential and 16.5% is commercial, which includes the <br />irrigation taps. These are the main areas that will be targeted for water savings. The <br />per-capita water use has fluctuated over the last ten years and doesn’t seem to be <br />trending in either direction. We feel the largest benefit could be gained by targeting the <br />four areas identified below. <br />These goals are preliminary and are subject to further discussion with FCLWD staff. <br />The planning horizon for this plan is ten years and the following water-use reduction <br />goals would be accomplished in that time period. <br />Water Conservation Goals: <br /> Irrigation – 10% <br /> Commercial – 7% <br /> Residential – 10% <br /> Unaccounted-for Losses – 3% (down to 7% on average) <br />th <br />We have a meeting scheduled with FCLWD’s staff for the week of March 10 to discuss <br />the universal list of conservation measures and programs and criteria to screen the <br />universal list. <br />After finalizing the water-savings goals and screening criteria, we will identify a final list <br />of water conservation measures and programs that will be evaluated further in a <br />cost/benefit analysis. The measures/programs will be separated into supply-side and <br />demand-side conservation and then grouped to avoid double counting of water savings. <br />A final list will be obtained to target the identified water use areas and the preliminary <br />goals will be adjusted based on estimated water savings. <br />
