<br />CDM <br /> <br />Section 9 <br />Implementation Plan <br /> <br />9.3 Plan for Monitoring and Evaluating Processes <br /> <br />One of the conservation goals of this Plan is to establish an effective monitoring and <br />evaluation process. Data limitations were a challenge in estimating water <br />conservation savings associated with existing conservation measures/programs. This <br />was mainly attributed to the relatively recent implementation of the conservation <br />measures/programs and a variety of other variables that impact total and per capita <br />water demands. As Erie begins to acquire more data, trends between demand and <br />conservation measures/ programs may be established, improving the ability to assess <br />the effectiveness of individual conservation measures/programs. <br /> <br />The collection and organization of data is instrumental in the success of this <br />monitoring plan. Data will be collected on the following: <br /> <br />. Daily metered data at the NCWCD intake and other raw water meter locations. <br /> <br />. Daily wastewater and water treatment production. <br /> <br />. Monthly potable metered demands for the new customer billing categories <br />(residential, commercial, HOA irrigation, and parks). <br /> <br />. Monthly non-potable water use (raw and reclaimed). <br /> <br />. Annual costs of each conservation measure/program. <br /> <br />. Annual data on development within the service area. This includes the number of <br />new homes built, commercial properties developed, and acres of new irrigated <br />lands (with corresponding types of vegetation, e.g., native vegetation, Kentucky <br />bluegrass). <br /> <br />. Annual record of efforts by the parks department to conserve water. This may <br />include changes to the irrigation schedule, ET controller installation, acreage of <br />new Xeriscaping, acreage of new irrigated landscaping, etc. <br /> <br />. Feedback from the public. These may include comments at open houses concerning <br />conservation, e-mail/ mail correspondence, etc. that provides valuable information <br />on the public's perception of the conservation measures/programs. <br /> <br />. Additional information that may provide valuable insight for the modification of <br />the conservation program. <br /> <br />These data will be organized and consolidated into a standardized filing system. <br />Billing data will be downloaded on an annual basis and stored electronically. <br /> <br />DRAFT <br /> <br />9-3 <br /> <br />\\DENSVR1\PROJECTS\9228 - ERIE\CONSERVATION PLAN\REPORT\DRAFT PRIOR TO PUBLIC REVIEW\CONNIE FORMATTED\SECTION 9.DOC <br />
