PROGRAM EVALUATION

At the end of each year, beginning with 2003, the City will review the measures above to determine the progress
of each, A brief description of progress will be included in the City's annual report, Efforts will be made to
quantify the success of each measure in terms of what has been accomplished, For example, we will try to
enumerate areas where xeriscape has been established in new or existing public areas, This report will be
made available for public review,

Quantification of actual water savings per individual measure is more difficult to determine, However, the City
will assess those savings where possible, Where obtainable, the City will publish this information in its annual
report as well. Total water consumption records are easier to quantify and will continue to be part of the City's
Water Department management activities,
