The highest priorities will be placed on those actions <br />which have the potential for the greatest water savings. Irrigation,. <br />both domestic and public (parks, golf course, cemetery) creates <br />the greatest overall demand and the largest peak demands on the <br />system.

The only major <br />commercial users so far identified are the car washes, which have <br />limited potential for reduced use~ We will continue our effort to <br />identify major users throughout the system. Domestic use reduction <br />potential is limited, but will not be ignored. <br />
