We received a <br />grant from the CWCB in June 2008 to help fund the this effort. We have recently <br />achieved the 50% completion milestone by completing steps 4, 5, and 6 on the budget <br />schedule that was submitted with our grant application and submit this report to the <br />CWCB. <br />Project Tasks Completed <br />In completing steps 1-6 of our task schedule, we have successfully profiled our system to <br />look at sources of water, system limitations, water costs and pricing, operating policies, <br />and our ongoing water conservation measures. We continued on to analyze our water use <br />patterns and future demand patterns. We then took a look at potential costs associated <br />with capital improvements and system upgrades and prepared a water supply capacity <br />forecast. Finally, we took a look at potential water conservations programs, techniques <br />and goals as they related to our systems demographic and geographic characteristics. <br />Project Successes and Preliminary Findings <br />Ms. Nichols and the District staff has successfully gathered and analyzed the background <br />information which will be the basis for preparation of the goals and objectives as well as <br />the implementation strategy for our WCP. We anticipate a significant amount of time <br />and effort to accomplish this task. We hope to prepare the remainder of the WCP, get the <br />plan reviewed by the CWCB, and put it out for public review in November 2008. <br />647 NORTH 7TH STREET P.O.
