Equipment or devices: This would vary per household, however an approximation of $2,300 for simple, inexpensive indoor measures, For applicable outdoor measures and landscape materials costs would vary per household depending upon the current of Xeriscape, and efficient irrigation techniques applied, Since the idea of this program is to show the customer that water conservation measures can be effected without great expense, the program should first begin retrofitting outdoor usage by applying techniques to the existing measures present and changing simple measures first. For example, if the home does not have an irrigation system, install the use of timed devices for hoses, and mechanical devices to ensure efficient irrigation. Another example would be to replace on a step by step basis the high water use plants with low water use plants, and to zone the areas accordingly, The Town on an ongoing basis will then encourage through its use of this program in its Long-Range Water Conservation Program to take further steps toward major renovation, as in sprinkler installation becomes appropriate. $10,000 These figures are based on the sponsor price lists attached, and letters
