<br />8. Regulatory Measures - Standards, Laws, and City Ordinances <br /> <br />The City Water Department operates under all applicable American <br />Water Works (AWWA) Standards, United States and Colorado State Laws <br />and Regulations, the Uniform Building Codes (UBC) , and City of <br />Canon City Ordinances (See Appendix A for excerpts concerning water <br />conservation issues). It is intended that stricter enforcement of <br />these laws, rules, and regulations will take place in the future. <br /> <br />9. Incentive Program <br /> <br />The Water Department currently has no plans to develop an incentive <br />program for developers of new units or for customers in existing <br />units that may wish to retrofit existing homes or businesses. <br />Although these measures would decrease the amount of water <br />consumption per capita or per unit, it would not be cost beneficial <br />to the Water Department at this time to pursue. <br /> <br />3.3 Cost Benefit Analvsis <br /> <br />It is currently anticipated that this water conservation plan <br />implementation will be cost-effective in the long-term. The <br />projected savings and/or benefits are expected to justify the <br />resources (money, staff, equipment) required to implement it. In <br />the future, if another approach costs less or offers greater <br />savings, the plan will be amended. <br /> <br />SECTION 4. PUBLIC PROCESS <br /> <br />This Water Conservation Plan has been developed by the City of <br />Canon City Water Department as a direct result of the State of <br />Colorado Water Conservation Act of 1991 (HB 91-1154) . <br /> <br />The process for review and adoption will be as follows: <br /> <br />August 13, 1996 Published draft plan <br />. - - ---AugasE---2-"7-,- ~9-6- - -- - --€0fflj'Jlet-ed--c-i-ty -cmmcil:- --and SLct[[-itevi-ews--- -. <br />September 3, 1996 Compile suggested amendments <br />September 6, 1996 News media advertisement and Plan made <br />publicly available for 60 day comment period <br />Final day of public comment period <br />Compile all public comments <br />Formal City Council Adoption of plan <br />Deadline for submission to Colorado Water <br />Conservation Board <br /> <br />November <br />November <br />November <br />December <br /> <br />4, 1996 <br />8, 1996 <br />18, 1996 <br />4, 1996 <br /> <br />8 <br />
