Homes participating in individual water audits, pilot projects undertaken <br />during the course of the Water Resources Planning process such as the <br />Shook's Run project, Y ARDX program, large commercial landscape audits <br />and the rehabilitation of various municipal and utility buildings will allow <br />, use measurement by comparison ()f before and after meter readings. <br /> <br />2. General per capita use will continue to be monitored over time. It appears <br />that per capita use in the city has decreased on the order of 2% since 1990" <br />This apparent trend will be monitored continually. The impacts of changing <br />rate structures and the gradual implementation of EP Act will be captured in <br />long-term per capita use measurement. <br /> <br />j <br />I <br />I <br /> <br />Appropriate statistical procedures will be applied to ensure reliable and valid predictive <br />data, <br /> <br />Additionally, implementation of the ongoing program will be evaluated. As the next <br />conservation measures come on line (commercial landscape audits and rain sensors, <br />specifically); detailed descriptions will be kept in order to capture: <br />
