<br />Conservation and System-Wide Emergency Regulations (6) <br /> <br />A section in Thornton's City Code states that water shall be used for beneficial purposes <br />and shall never be wasted. The City also has an ordinance that calls for mandatory water <br />use curtailments, restrictions, or prohibitions during times of system-wide emergency. <br />Fines are assessed for violations of the mandatory restrictions. <br /> <br />Thornton has no City regulations pertaining to water saving appliances or fixtures, <br />however, the 1994 Uniform Plumbing Code has been adopted by reference. Federal <br />legislation (Energy Policy Act of 1992) requires new buildings to be equipped with water <br />conserving fixtures. The City's building inspectors check new housing for compliance <br />with the federal law. Plans are underway by the City to adopt the 2000 International <br />Plumbing Code (IPC) in 2002. The IPC contains specific requirements for water <br />conserving fixtures. Table 604.4 in the !PC lists water-conserving standards for water <br />closets, urinals, showerheads, and faucets. With the adoption of the !PC, all new <br />buildings in Thornton will be required to comply with the use of water saving fixtures <br />even lithe Federal Energy Policy Act were to be revoked. Revocation of this Act has <br />been unsuccessfully proposed several times in the past. <br /> <br />Conservation Coordination (7) <br /> <br />Staff members from different divisions have been assigned specific tasks to coordinate <br />the water conservation program. These individuals oversee their specific programs and <br />manage the financial resources necessary for implementation. <br /> <br />Non-Potable Water Use (8) <br /> <br />The City of Thornton is currently considering options for the use of non-potable water for <br />community parks, business parks and golf course irrigation. Parts of Thorn creek Golf <br />Course are currently irrigated with non-potable water. <br /> <br />10 <br />
