<br />, <br /> <br />PROJECT EVALUATION <br /> <br />As the total project time will be 1-2 years, Silt feels a post-project questionnare <br />or survey may not be useful. Once the project has been going for one year it is <br />anticipated another post-card will be needed to keep in contact with the households. <br />As the waterbills are sent on a post-card and there is space for messages, Silt will <br />definitely ask users to send a comment on the return bill or with it so the town <br />may know their opinions and/or concerns. <br />It is felt that the town newspaper will serve as the best communicative tool <br />for this project. Results of the project'can be made available every three months <br />and problems or positive reactions can be addressed in an evolutionary manner. <br /> <br />The design of water savings documents has already started and will be ready <br />before August. They are being developed in conjunction with the data research,and will <br />make statistical analysis in the post-project evaluation accurate and easy. <br /> <br />TIMELINE <br /> <br />The following is a preliminary timeline for the implementation of the project: <br /> <br />May 15th to June 30th~ completion of previous two years consumption/production <br />data collection. If grant funds are available at this time then all ordering <br />of literature and equipment will take place. <br /> <br />June 30th to July 15th- design of pre-paid postcard survey and if possible kit <br />construction. Next quarterly newsletter will go out with information on project and <br />local media will be contacted concerning August activities. <br /> <br />July 15th to August 1st~write consumer cover letter and initiate final media coverage <br />for project implementation. <br /> <br />August 1st to August 30th-oversee and supervise the distribution and installation <br />of water saving devices within individual households. Insure survey is returned. <br />~ <br />g <br />~ <br /> <br />September 1st 1992 to September lst 1993-monitor water consumption and production for <br />entire'year. Remind consumers to initiate other water conserving methods, particularly <br />for the following summer. Include quarterly statistics on water savings in each newsletter. <br /> <br />I <br />-e <br />~ <br /> <br />September 1st 1993 to September 1st 1994-continue to track production/consumption. Use <br />waterbill to check up on equipment use and satisfaction. During summer of 1994 begin <br />project evaluation. <br /> <br />September 1st to September 31 1994-complete and submit final report. <br />~ <br />\ Once water production/consumption tracking begins, individual households will <br />\ be informed of their savings on their bills. This will allow'families and individuals <br />, to watch their own consumption levels and wi11 keep conservation 'on their minds'; The <br />I cover letter in the kit will stress the importance of self-evaluation from the start. <br />~dition overall conservation in the town will be featured in the newsletter. <br /> <br />The nature of this project puts all purchasing of equipment and the other related <br />costs within a relatively close timeframe. This was done to facilitate a minimum <br />of time on the part 'of the town as well as the Water Conservation Office towards <br />financial tracking. The idea was to reduce the complexity of the financial side <br />so the implementation could be focused on. <br /> <br />< <br />
