WATER CONSERVATION PLAN 2008
Increased water rates by themselves would not account for the observed drop in per
capita water use. It is the combination of measures and programs that the City has
implemented, as shown in Table 9, including rebates, ordinances, educational
programs and improvements in institutional efficiencies that have helped the City to
reduce water demand.
It is important to note that the per capita water use reported herein does not include
raw water used to irrigate about 580 acres in the City, including some of its parks,
school grounds, arterials and golf courses. Resources will be spent in the future to
better monitor the non - potable uses and include these water supplies in the overall
per capita water use evaluations.
