Regulatory measures <br /> <br />The district is not a regulatory agency and therefore has no police powers, but it does <br />prohibit wasteful usage of water thro~gh its resolution 1996-8, which allows it to shut <br />off water services that are wasting w~ter. The resolution states that: <br /> <br />I <br />"Water is a valuable and preciJus commodity in the State of Colorado and <br />within the boundaries of tlIe District. Waste of water is hereby <br />prohibited. Runoff of water fr~m landscaped and irrigated properties, and <br />overspray from irrigation sys~ms, to impervious surfaces is prohibited. <br />Customers are required to ~aintain any sprinlder system, irrigation <br />system, or hoses in such a m~ as to avoid runoff, overspray, leaks <br />and/or wastage. Any employee of the District who observes waste, as <br />herein described, occurring shall notify the owner or resident of the <br />property upon which the waste, whether from runoff, overspray or <br />leaking, is occurring of the ~stence of such waste. In the event the <br />owner or resident (including tenants of either residential or commercial or <br />industrial properties) fails to cease the activity resulting in waste, or in the <br />event any employee of the Di~trict shall observe such waste at the same <br />location for a second or subsequent time, the District may terminate the <br />provision of water service at such address or structure until such waste <br />"~II!'A~" : <br />~. ! <br />i <br /> <br />9. Wastewater reuse <br /> <br />The district currently practices a: highly innovative wastewater reuse program that allows <br />it to reuse all of its wastewater, gallQn for gallon. through its augmentation programs, <br />and through its wastewater irrigation ;policies. The former is accomplished by treating <br />all of the districts' wastewater with advanced wastewater treatment (AWT) techniques <br />to meet drinking water standards, discllarging this treated wastewater into Cherry Creek, <br />and then, after mixing and natural ttEi:atment in the Cherry Creek alluvium, each gallon <br />of wastewater discharged is withdra~ through the District's alluvial wells for treatment <br />and distribution Into the potable wattt system. The A WT process is a water treatment <br />system that treats the water to meyt drinking water standards before the water is <br />discharged to the creek, rather than after it is withdrawn, which is normally the case. <br />I <br />I <br /> <br />Water Conservation Plan <br />R:\IOOI\WI'6Ol108ICONllIll!.V.nJi' <br /> <br />Page 3 <br />
