<br />scrutinized. We need to ensure that the chosen homes will follow <br />through with the requirements of the program, and will consistently <br />collect the data dictated. <br />- Selected homes should be dual metered, or easily converted, so <br />that indoor and outdoor usage can more accurately be determined. <br />- Installation of flow meters will be required. <br />- The chosen model home owners will also have to sign releases <br />noting that the relevant information pertaining to this project can be <br />used publicly by the Town of Castle Rock. They will also have to <br />agree to the implementation of measures and installation of devices <br />at their home. <br /> <br />Resident habits and any factors effecting water usage prior to retrofit, <br />for the time period during which base data is determined must be <br />discerned. This consists of the following: <br />- number and age of family members (This does not have to <br />be consistent throughout the model homes since analysis is <br />being done on a percentage basis.) <br />- personal water use habits (number of showers, toilet flushes, <br />loads of laundry, loads of dishes by sink or dishwasher, <br />number of plants in-doors) <br />- whether the home has large number of visitors <br />- number of toilets, faucets, sinks, tubs, showers <br />- any water conservation measures or devices being used <br />prior to retrofit <br />- type of landscape and its uses <br />- whether an irrigation system is present <br /> <br />This data will continue to be tracked throughout the monitoring <br />period, in even greater detail through the use of spreadsheets and <br />logs to be completed by the resident when possible, and by Town <br />personnel if necessary. Timers and flow meters will be supplied and <br />installed to assist the homeowner in data accumulation. <br />Spreadsheets will be turned in to the Environmental Resources <br />Department at least weekly. And the residents will be contacted at <br />least weekly by telephone, and in person as necessary to evaluate <br />progress, and to ensure efforts are being maintained. Each measure <br />or device used from the beginning of the project to the end must be <br />noted and tracked for its water saving efficiency in its specific <br />application. <br /> <br />Completion of Monitoring Period: Utility billing charges, consumption <br />and the device or measure used to achieve the water savings <br />associated will yield information on which to base the incentive credit <br />program. Efficiency values for each conservation measure will be <br />developed, and feasible consumer incentive credits determined. The <br />
