<br />East Cherry Creek Valley Water & Sanitation District <br />Water Conservation Plan <br /> <br />Section 2 <br />Inventory <br /> <br />2.1 Quantifying Current Supply Sources <br /> <br />At the present time, 100 % of the District's water supply is derived from wells tapping the Denver <br />Basin aquifers. Ground water is currently being produced from 33 wells. If all of the wells <br />currently in operation could be pumped simultaneously the wells would discharge approximately <br />8,965 gallons per minute. If the wells owned or under the control of the District were drilled and <br />connected to the system the aggregate yield would be 11,868 acre feet per year. <br /> <br />2.2 Existing Water Conservation Measures <br /> <br />The following is a list of water conservation measures the District currently addresses, along with <br />a brief description of each. <br /> <br />EXISTING WATER CONSERVATION MEASURES <br /> <br />1. Metering <br />+ <br /> <br />All water connections are fully metered and all accounts are billed for full water <br />usage. <br /> <br />2. Water-efficient fixtures <br />+ Plumbing Codes: Arapahoe County subscribes to the Uniform Construction <br />Codes, including the 1991 edition of the Uniform Plumbing Code which requires <br />installation of 1. 6 gallon per flush water closets, 2.75 gpm showerheads, and 2.75 <br />. gaHem per-minutd'lowfaucets. . . . - - -.. - - - - - - - - - - - <br /> <br />. <br />3. Distribution system leak repair <br />+ The District conducts leak detection when conditions indicate possible excessive <br />water use. An overall leak detection program has not been pursued due to the high <br />percentage of billed water to supplied water. <br /> <br />4. Dissemination of information/Water Audits <br />+ Brochures on water efficient landscaping have been made available annually at the <br />Eagle Crest High School Marching Band Plant Show. <br />+ In past years Xeriscaping brochures have been provided to new residents. <br /> <br />2 <br />
