<br />In order to use water efficiently, Fountain encourages the use of landscape <br />plants that require little additional irrigation. For all multi-family, commercial, <br />and industrial developments landscape plants must be from the <br />Recommended Plant List of the City of Fountain in accordance with City <br />Code Title 17 Section 17.14. This list, found in Appendix A of this report, <br />contains a selection of plant materials that are based upon water restrictions <br />and the climate of the Fountain/Colorado Springs area. The list of low-water <br />requiring landscape plants is available at the City of Fountain Utility Office <br />116 South Main Street. These requirements apply to new construction as <br />well as certain major building renovations. As older buildings are replaced or <br />renovated over the years, additional water savings will be achieved. <br />Although the use of low water requiring plants is not mandatory for single <br />family dwellings by City code, the City still encourages its such use. By <br />changing the type of plants used in landscaping, Fountain can eventually <br />realize substantial water savings over typical landscape scenarios. The City <br />strongly encourages all citizens in single-family dwellings to implement use <br />of these water-saving standards. <br /> <br />To promote water conservation, Fountain also encourages the use of fine- <br />bladed, turf type, tall fescue, fine fescue, or other similar type of turfgrass <br />for general and lawn use. By using the turfgrasses mentioned above, the <br />irrigation requirement for the lawn will be reduced. Both the tall and fine <br />fescues are more drought resistant than Kentucky bluegrass cultivars. <br />Monitoring and Evaluation <br />To ensure the proper information is being disseminated to the general public, <br />the Planning Department will on review annually and update as necessary <br />the Recommended Plant List of the City of Fountain. <br /> <br />III. Water-efficient industrial and commercial processes <br />As of 2001, industrial and commercial water usage does not constitute a <br />large portion of Fountain's total water consumption. However, the City has <br />taken an aggressive approach in maximizing the efficient use of limited <br />water resources for both commercial and industrial purposes. In accordance <br />with City Code Title 17 Section 17.14, all commercial and industrial <br /> <br />water Conservation Plan - City of Fountain <br /> <br />page 4 <br />
