The <br />success of conservation measures and programs depends on how the public responds <br />to the measures/programs. The more engaged the community is in altering their <br />behavior to conserve water, the more effective the conservation measures and <br />programs will be. Erie will continue to implement a public education program <br />educating the public on why and how they may conserve water. <br /> <br />It is also important to establish a means where feedback from the public on the <br />conservation measures and programs may be received. The public will have the <br />opportunity to provide input at Erie's water conservation open house on May 9, 2007, <br />through e-mail and mail correspondence, and through the annual board election <br />process. Additionally information on Erie's monitoring of the conservation program <br />(see Section 9.3) will be conveyed to the public on an annual basis. The public will <br />have an opportunity to provide feedback. This will help Erie incorporate community <br />values when making important water management decisions. <br /> <br />DRAFT <br /> <br />9-2 <br /> <br />\\DENSVR1\PROJECTS\9228 - ERIE\CONSERVATION PLAN\REPORT\DRAFT PRIOR TO PUBLIC REVIEW\CONNIE FORMATTED\SECTION 9.DOC <br />
