<br />Leak DetectionlRepair <br /> <br />The District is currently in the process of replacing and/or upgrading pipelines throughout our <br /> <br /> <br />service area. We estimate that up to 7% of our unaccounted for wa1er can be recovered by replacing <br /> <br /> <br />sections of pipeline which are known 10 be leaking due to deterioration. These sections of pipeline have <br /> <br /> <br />been assigned first priority for replacement. Each year, a portion of the District's annual budget is <br /> <br /> <br />targeted for replacement or upgrade of pipeline in areas where repairs are frequen1 and the pipeline is <br /> <br /> <br />known to be deteriorating. <br /> <br />Recycle/Reuse at Treatment Plant <br /> <br />In 1985, the second expansion of the District's treatment plant was completed. Incorporated into <br />this expansion was a pump station which is utilized exclusively 10 recycle all filter backwash and sludge <br />carry water. This water is pumped back to the raw water intake structure where it is treated and reused. <br /> <br />Encourage Low Water Using Landscaping <br /> <br />Beginning February 1, 1996, the District will provide an information packet on Low Water Using <br />Landscaping with the sale of all new water taps. Although low water using landscaping is not required by <br />the District, it is recommended for new customers who do not have the availability of "ditch wate!" for <br />irrigation. The District has also requested, by letter to the Mesa County Planning Department, that there <br />be a requirement of development of "ditch wateI" in all new subdivisions, when that water is available. A <br />copy of this letter is included in Exhibit c. <br /> <br />Moderate Plumbing Code (Mesa County) <br /> <br />The Mesa County Plumbing Code, which requires all new construction to include low water <br /> <br />- -usingphunbingiixturesc - - - - -- - - - - - - - - . - - <br /> <br />~ <br />. v v <br /> <br />13 <br />
