<br />v. ASSESSMENT OF PUEBLO'S WATER USE EFFICIENCY <br />PROGRAMS <br /> <br />Each of Pueblo's Water Efficiency measures is addressed in this segment ofthe <br />plan. The technological feasibility as well as the financial feasibility of <br />implementation of these measures is analyzed. <br /> <br />A. Water-efficient fixtures and appliances, including toilets, urinals, <br />showerheads, and faucets: <br /> <br />Numerous businesses market water savings devices. These devices attempt to <br />decrease the amounts of water used in household and business applications without <br />inconveniencing the users. The two decisive factors on evaluating the technological <br />feasibility of a device is whether the water saving ability of the device is consistent <br />and whether the water use function is adequately performed. In addition, any <br />possible negative influence on the drainage system of the household and the <br />community must be taken into account. <br /> <br />Water Closets (toilets) and urinals <br />The toilet systems on today's market are designed to replace the existing <br />conventional toilets. These newer systems appear to be technologically feasible as <br />far as the water they save, but other operating problems have not yet been <br />satisfactorily solved. Complaints related to flushing capabilities and plugged <br />sewage lines cah be associated with the use of the newer toilet systems. Pueblo, <br />however will continue to enforce the nationally recognized standards of the EP A Act <br />of 1992, and newly installed water closets in the City of Pueblo will have an average <br />consumption of not more than 1.6 gallons per flush. Urinals will not exceed 1.0 <br />gallons per flush. <br /> <br />Showers and Faucets <br />Flow inhibiting shower heads and valves operate by restricting the flow of water <br />through the shower head. The flow restricting apertures that operate in these <br />devices are fully developed. The water savings vary in accordance with supply line <br />pressures. Flow restricting shower heads are also designed for replacement <br />installation. <br /> <br />Faucet flow controls restrict the passage of water in the same manner as the <br />shower control devices. Aeration and spray taps save water in rinsing activities in <br />the sink. <br /> <br />-12- <br />
