ECCV is requesting $29,850 to <br />develop a water conservation plan that will comply with §37 -60 -126 C.R.S. and build on <br />previous water conservation planning efforts. <br />ECCV is a member of the South Metro Water Supply Authority (SMWSA) and the Douglas <br />County Resources Authority (DCWRA). SWSI identified the south metro region, located in the <br />South Platte basin, as having a major gap in future water supplies. Water conservation will be <br />vital in helping ECCV maintain its reliable water supply at a reasonable cost. <br />The City has pledged 32% matching funds in the form of in -kind services. OWCDP staff has <br />reviewed and evaluated the grant application and has determined that the proposal meets or <br />exceeds the CWCB guidelines for reviewing grant proposals. Attached is the internal checklist <br />used to evaluate the application. <br />Recommendation <br />The OWCDP staff recommends that Jennifer Gimbel, Director of the CWCB, authorize a Water <br />Efficiency Grant in the amount of $29,850 for ECCV to develop a water conservation plan in <br />accordance with §37 -60 -126 C.R.S. <br />Attachment: Evaluation Checklist <br />Water Supply Protection - Watershed Protection & Flood Mitigation - Stream & Lake Protection - Water Supply Planning & Finance <br />Water Conservation & Drought Planning - Intrastate Water Management & Development <br />
