In <br />performing our mission, we fully embrace the importance of water conservation, water use ef~'iciency and wise <br />water use in our community's efforts to manage our most precious water resources now and into the future. <br />Our organization applauds the CWCB for developing, maintaining and administrating its water conservation <br />and water efficiency grant programs, and we will continue to show our support for these important state <br />programs into the future. Ir- addition, we recognize the importance of communications and technical assistance <br />in helping to promote and support more meaningful water conservation statewide, which is the underlying goal <br />of the CWCB grant programs. <br />To help move water conservation to the next level, our organization fully supports the project for an Executive <br />Director being proposed 6y the Colorado WaterWise Council (CWWC) to the Colorado Water Conservation <br />Board. Aurora Water will provide 102.5 hours of staff time over the 2 year grant period for Aurora Water's <br />Water Conservation Supervisor and Senior Program Specialist to assist CWWC in its endeavors. This support is <br />equivalent to $4,100. We strongly encourage the CWCB and the Office of Water Conservation and Drought <br />Planning to consider the merits of the CWWC grant application and award the requested funds to this <br />worthwhile and important program that will benefit water managers, basin roundtable members and water <br />conservation experts statewide. <br />Thank you for your consideration. <br />Sincerely, <br />~~, . <br />Dana Ehlen <br />Acting Director, Aurora Water <br />
