<br />1998. This new plant replaced an old lagoon system thus minimizing the <br />evaporation losses that the City must replace from other water sources. <br /> <br />Role of water Efficiency <br /> <br />Fountain has always aimed to use water efficiently. As Fountain continues <br />to experience growth, the need to conserve and use water efficiently will become <br />even more of an important aspect of City planning and operations. Water <br />conservation will allow Fountain to reduce the impact of growth on the finite <br />source of water. The goal of this water conservation plan is to implement <br />conservation measures to better ensure a sufficient water supply for the present <br />and future of the city by addressing efficiency and technological issues. <br /> <br />This plan is meant to be flexible and allow for changes as deemed <br />necessary. This plan allows for the implementation of new measures and <br />regulations, as well as for modifications to existing conditions that affect the use of <br />water. In accordance with Colorado law, if any major changes are made to this <br />plan, Fountain shall provide public notice of changes and allow for a public <br />comment period. <br /> <br />water Efficiency Plan <br /> <br />The following efficiency measures, which include present and future <br />programs, address the nine points as set forth by the State of Colorado Water <br />Conservation Act of 1991 (HBl154, CRS~37-60-126): <br /> <br />I. Water efficient fixtures and appliances, including toilets, urinals, <br />showerheads and faucets <br />Fountain has adopted the nationally accepted plumbing fixture standards <br />enacted by the Energy Policy Act of 1992 and by the Uniform Plumbing <br />Code of 1997, both of which have been adopted by the Pikes Peak Regional <br />Building Code. All fixtures installed in the City of Fountain must meet the <br />following standards. <br /> <br />water Conservation Plan - City of Fountain <br /> <br />Page 2 <br />
