<br />Characterize Water Use and Demand Forecast <br />A draft of the water use and forecasted demands was developed. Information is <br />provided on potable and non-potable demands, total annual demands, demands by <br />customer type, per capita demands, and overall projected demands. <br /> <br />Proposed Facilities <br />A qualitative discussion of Erie's planned expansions of existing water facilities and <br />construction of new facilities was developed. <br /> <br />Conservation Goals <br />A draft has been developed identifying Erie's conservation goals and providing an <br />explanation of how the goals were developed. <br /> <br />Conservation Measures and Programs <br />Conservation measures and programs were selected for evaluation. A set of screening <br />criteria were developed to screen out the least beneficial or least applicable measures <br />and programs from the evaluation process. <br /> <br />Evaluate/Select Conservation Measures and Programs <br />The conservation measures and programs selected for evaluation were qualitatively <br />evaluated and either eliminated or carried forward into the next phase of evaluation. <br />Rationales were developed for the elimination of measures/programs that were <br />screened from further consideration. Water savings for the remaining <br />measures/programs were estimated where water savings could be estimated with a <br />reasonable level of accuracy. Following evaluation, the conservation <br />measures/programs to be implemented were selected. <br /> <br />Integrate Resources and ModifY Forecasts <br />Documentation was developed describing total estimated water savings and how <br />conservation measures/programs could reduce projected water demands and provide <br />cost benefits to future water projects. A qualitative discussion on conservation and <br />potential revenue effects was also prepared. <br /> <br />Implementation Plan <br />A draft implementation plan was developed. This includes information on the <br />implementation schedule, public participation, monitoring and evaluation, as well as a <br />plan for updating the Conservation Plan. <br /> <br />Public Outreach <br />An open house was conducted on May 9, 2007. Poster boards were on display <br />providing information on the Conservation Plan. A staff member was stationed at each <br />poster board where residents could provide comments and/or asl( questions. A handout <br />of frequently asl(ed questions (F AQ) was also available. Information on how the <br />public may provide comments on the Plan during the 30-day public review process <br />was included in a handout. <br />
