Town of Castle Rock Water Conservation Plan LONG RANGE PLAN The long term water conservation measures considered in the Town's long range plan are issues that should be addressed on an on-going basis. The committee identified items which would be addressed in a timeline beyond one year to be part of the long range plan. This is then to be a guideline for development of annual work plans, and should expand as ideas and technologies become available. The long range water conservation plan should be revised every three years to update, and review the approaches contained within it, and to evaluate success rates of implemented measures. 1.
