Step 2 — Develop a Water Use Profile and Forecast Future Water Demand <br /> WM has compiled the data in Worksheet 2 -1 from information supplied by the Entities. Demand was forecast <br /> using historic population and tap data supplied by the Entities. The profile and forecast are complete. <br /> Step 3 — Profile Proposed Facilities <br /> This info <br /> rmation atherin step is complete. The Entities have all supplied information about future plans. <br /> I; g p com p <br /> is to "live within its means"; depending Its intent p g on <br /> Palmer Lake has no major proposed facilities upcoming. <br /> conservation to serve it's essentially built out population without adding new facilities. Monument has sufficient <br /> adjudicated water, its constraint is the ability to pump and deliver the water. Its immediate (horizon of this Plan) <br /> new facilities will relate to reuse. Triview has more pumping and delivery capacity than it has available water. Its <br /> immediate facilities will also relate to reuse. <br /> Step 4 — Identify Conservation Goals <br /> This step is complete. Discussions between Entities' staff and WM led to a preliminary list of goals, some of <br /> which are unique to each Entity, some of which will encompass all three Entities. For Palmer Lake, ordinances will <br /> play a significant role. Although the Town has strong emergency provisions, there are few provisions for ongoing <br /> conservation. This will be addressed in the Plan. For Monument and Triview, existing ordinances for water use <br /> and landscaping will be reviewed to emphasize reducing outdoor use for large landscapes. Although the <br /> application predicted possible savings across the entities of 1.5% per year, upon closer look, this may be difficult <br /> for the Towns of Monument and Palmer Lake, due to their very low present use and fewer opportunities for large <br /> savings. For example, both Towns have formalized leak detection programs, have been fully metered for at least <br /> 20 years, and repair and replace meters. In addition to ordinance work, lower income /high use neighborhoods <br /> will be targeted for ULF rebates. For Triview, annual savings of 1.5% appear to be achievable because of the <br /> greater landscape use per capita and the opportunities for savings represented by the aforementioned large <br /> landscapes. Efforts common to all Entities will include: <br /> • Installation of a demonstration garden and attendant seminars and workshops <br /> • Providing a conservation expert for customers <br /> • Initiating a formal school program <br /> At this time, an overall savings goal (all Entities) of 0.5% per year appears achievable, resulting in a ten year <br /> savings of approximately 5% for all Entities. <br /> Step 5 — Identify conservation measures and conservation measures <br /> This step is complete. Programs and measures have been identified, screening criteria established, and screening <br /> has been accomplished. <br /> Step 6 — Evaluate and select conservation programs and measures <br /> This step is 75% complete. Cost benefit analyses have been performed on the measures and programs to be <br /> Evaluation criteria have been selected. An considered. approximate budget has been prepared for each entity to <br /> follow during implementation of the Plan. The Entities and WM will meet later this month to further discuss how <br /> ordinances can be written and amended so that the Entities have matching, and more effective ordinances in <br /> place. <br />
