INTRODUCTION

BACKGROUND

The Left Hand Water District's Conservation Master Plan was written for
the following reasons:

Colorado HBl154 requires that a water conservation plan be
developed and implemented by July I, 1996.

To formulate a plan to help mitigate the impacts to the water
system of the increased per tap consumption during peak months for
landscape irrigation.

To prolong the adequacy of existing water resources.

To demonstrate the District's commitment to responsible,
environmentally sound, and efficient use of natural resources.

To create an awareness among the public that we live in a semi-arid
climate.

To ensure the efficient use of our water systems infrastructure to
meet the needs of a growing population.

The process of developing the Left Hand Water District's water
Conservation Plan included the core plan developed by staff,
incorporating the comments and recommendations of a volunteer Water
Conservation Committee. The master plan will serve as a work plan for
the District's conservation program. Notice was published and copies of
the plan were made available for pUblic comment. The plan was adopted
by the Board of Directors following a public hearing at their June 11,
1996 meeting.

The plan identifies water conservation measures and goals for the
District and its customers on an on going basis.

We would like to extend our thanks to--the citIzens and staff who made up
our committee, for their time and effort in helping us create this plan.
