Reclamation, and subsequently awarded. The system wide audit project is nearly <br /> complete, and a second set of meetings were scheduled and conducted in October 2012 <br /> to meet with the 38 Plan participants and discuss the results of the audits and the <br /> expected content of the RWC Plan. <br /> • Regional Planning Tasks—The Draft of the RWC Plan has been underway—including: <br /> o Profiling the existing water system, water conservation and water use <br /> o Characterizing water use and demand forecasts <br /> o Profiling the proposed facilities and projects <br /> o Identifying conservation goals <br /> o Identifying, screening and evaluating candidate conservation measures and <br /> programs <br /> The data has been collected and organized, and analyzes such that key trends and <br /> conclusions could be made and supported. The Draft Plan is now partially completed, <br /> including a listing of the Best Practices (BPs)that will be contained in the conservation <br /> measure and program Tool Box. <br /> • Project Administration —The project 50% progress report has been prepared, as have <br /> regular invoicing from the District to the CWCB. <br /> Obstacles <br /> A number of obstacles were encountered during project execution; however, none are <br /> anticipated to significantly impact final project completion. Specifically,the data collection and <br /> analyses required to complete the system wide audits delayed the project by over one year. <br /> However, the Draft Plan is being prepared and appears to be more robust and relevant to local <br /> planning needs due to the sizable data collection effort associated with the auditing effort. <br /> Budget Impacts <br /> There are no budget implications related to the current project progress and noted obstacles. <br /> Major Findings <br /> The results of the project thus far indicate that the most of the 38 Plan participants will find <br /> great value in the RWC Plan, especially given that the Tool Box will include relevant BPs <br /> addressing water system management, water production and treatment, water distribution, <br /> and customer metering, along with customer water demand reduction. Most organizations are <br /> looking to improve local water loss management, which will involve improved metering and <br /> overall system management to identify and manage real and apparent losses. Many <br />
