<br />Town of Castle Rock <br />Water Conservation Plan <br /> <br />of the "Teach By Example" Grant Program. The following is a break down <br />of savings/cost ratios, and how the Incentive Credit Program is outlined for <br />implementation. <br />"Teach By Example" Program <br />Incentive Credit Program Break Down <br /> <br />Low Flow Shower Heads <br />Savings/Cost Ratio = 47 - 165% <br />This is dependent on shower duration, the longer the shower, the sooner the pay <br />back is realized. <br />Good Satisfaction Rating <br /> <br />Ultra Low Volume Toilets <br />Savings/Cost Ratio = 12 - 19% <br />Satisfactory Satisfaction Rating <br /> <br />Front Loading Horizontal Axis Clothes Washers <br />Savings/Cost Ratio = 7 - 15% <br />Excellent Satisfaction Rating <br /> <br />Exterior Retrofit <br />Savings/Cost Ratio = 1.8 - 3.9% <br />Note that these figures did not include labor costs, being that homeowners would <br />have accomplished work without assistance. <br /> <br />This information leads the incentive credit program to focus on interior device-retrofit <br />rebates instead of exterior. Rebates should be based percentage wise on reimbursement for <br />shower heads, UL V's, and then clothes washers. <br /> <br />Participation in a rebate program can only be estimated, due to response in similar <br />programs, and on the number of households that are capable of taking part in the UL V and <br />shower head portion, meaning that their homes were built prior to the building codes <br />requiring such installations. The first year of the program has a budget of $6,000, $3,000 <br />from state grant funds, and matching funds from the Town of Castle Rock. The Town has <br />committed to budgeting similar funds in the future depending on program response. <br /> <br />Shower Heads (3 gpm or less) = 100% reimbursement for item cost <br />ULV Toilets (1.6 gpf or less) = 16% reimbursement for item cost <br />Front Loading Washers = 11% reimbursement for overage of regular washer cost <br />Exterior Retrofit = Reimbursement can only be considered on a case by case basis, <br /> <br />15 <br />
