<br />. Older distribution lines are being replaced or upgraded on an "as needed" basis <br />to provide improved service to the District's customers. All replacement lines <br />must also pass a pressure test prior to being accepted by the District and placed <br />in service. <br />. The FCLWD has evaluated the top highest water customers to determine the <br />correct meter size for each. To remove this potential source of unaccounted <br />water, meter sizes have been upgraded as required to eliminate meter slippage. <br />. Along with the individual pressure regulators on all customer service <br />connections, the District maintains more than thirty pressure reducing vaults <br />throughout the distribution system. This reduces the main line pressures which <br />consequently reduce the chance of leaks in the distribution main lines. A <br />pressure survey is completed annually and computer models are used to <br />determine potential high pressure zones. <br /> <br />5.5.2 Plans for Future FCLWD Measures <br /> <br />The Fort Collins - Loveland Water District supervisory control and data acquisition <br />system (scada-telemetry) was installed in 1985. The system can provide a means to <br />detect unusually high flows, which can possibly indicate a line break. <br /> <br />5.6 Dissemination of Information Regarding Water Use Efficiency <br />Measures <br /> <br />5.6.1 Current FCLWD Measures <br /> <br />The Fort Collins - Loveland Water District currently provides customer education on <br />water use effiCiency measures as part of the quarterly newsletter, and has used bill <br />inserts in the past to educate customers on water conservation. <br /> <br />~lle FCLWD currently does not provide custemers-witi"t-wateF-ttSe-al:lditorwater---- <br />saving demonstrations due to a lack of manpower and available funds. District <br />personnel do consult with customers if a leak is detected on the customer's service line <br />and provide assistance. . <br /> <br />5.6.2 Plans for Future FCLWD Measures <br /> <br />The Fort Collins - Loveland Water District currently plans to continue to devote part of <br />the quarterly newsletter to addressing various water use efficiency measures. The <br />District will consider the use of water saving demonstrations to promote water use <br />efficiency. The District may also consider establishing a library of water efficient <br />landscaping literature which would be available to FCLWD customers. <br /> <br />-16 <br />
