<br />Continued dissemination of information regarding hot water recirculation pumps, magnetic water softening <br />devises, drip and soaker landscape watering devises as well as other water efficient products is in place. <br /> <br />2.4 Customer Classes <br /> <br />P A WSD currently serves approximately 4373 taps representing 5992 single family equivalent units. The <br />majority (64%) of customers are single family residences. Commercial businesses, schools, churches and <br />government offices represent approximately 17% of the customer base and multifamily and time shares <br />represent approximately 19%. Growth during the past decade has been tremendous. <br /> <br />Section 3. Future Conservation Measures <br /> <br />3.1 Role of Water Use Efficiency <br /> <br />The District is actively supporting a water conservation educational program. Water conservation and wise use <br />of our water resources will be a top priority. The ultimate success of water conservation programs depends <br />upon the actions of the people who use the water. Development of a conservation ethic through public <br />awareness and education is, therefore, necessary to the overall success of this, or any other conservation <br />program. Water conservation is an important component of overall water supply planning. Actions to reduce <br />water requirements reduce system losses, and increase operating efficiencies are expected to result in many <br />benefits to the District and its customers, such as: <br /> <br />. Operation and maintenance costs that depend on water demand, such as pumping and chemical costs, <br />can be reduced. <br />. Conservation measures can help reduce long-term water needs and thus reduce or delay the need for new <br />water supply, transmission, storage and treatment facilities. <br />. Reduction of water demands means that more water remains in our streams and reservoirs providing in <br />stream flows, water quality, aquatic life, recreation and aesthetic benefits to our customers and our <br />community. <br />. Reductions in residential, industrial, and commercial water consumption will reduce wastewater flows <br />and costs associated with the operation and maintenance of the wastewater treatment plants. <br />. Individual customers can benefit directly from lower water and sewer bills and lower energy costs due to <br />decreased hot water usage. <br />. Conservation and efficiency in the use of a limited natural resource demonstrates the commitment of our <br />community to environmental awareness and responsibility. <br /> <br />3.2 2004 Conservation Measures Planned <br /> <br />With the Water Conservation Program activities accomplished in 2003 as the foundation, the following <br />provides an overview of planned activities for 2004. Section 3.2.1 provides an outline of planned activities for <br />the residential. sector. Section 3.2.2 corresponds with commercial sector programs, while Section 3.3.3 outlines <br />"other" programs. <br /> <br />3.2.1 Residential Sector Programs <br /> <br />As with 2003, the priority for the 2004 Water Conservation Program will be public relations (PR) as it relates to <br />water use, conservation, and efficiency in the residential sector. It is envisioned that the residential PR <br />campaign may include, but not limited to, such activities as: <br /> <br />6 <br />
