<br />III. PUEBLO'S WATER USE EFFICIENCY PROGRAM <br /> <br />The Board's Rules and Regulations provide the policies that guide Pueblo's Water <br />Use Efficiency principals, strategies and programs. The Water Use Efficiency Plan <br />recognizes that water demands will generally be higher during periods of drought <br />than during periods of normal or above normal precipitation. Pueblo experienced <br />drought years in the 1950s and 1960s, and again in the early 1980's. <br /> <br />In 1981, Pueblo's efficient water use practices had a positive effect on water <br />demands. Summer time high temperatures, water rates, conservation practices <br />during the drought and universal metering all had an effect on peak water <br />demands. Records for 1981 indicate a relatively dry year, but there was no record <br />of an above-normal demand for water. Increasing water rates and universal <br />metering decreased nonessential water uses and, as one might expect, average day <br />demands. <br /> <br />The vast majority of the Board's programs are based on the philosophy of voluntary <br />commitment by the customers to use water efficiently. During drought times, <br />however, efficient use of water is sometimes mandated. <br /> <br />) <br /> <br />Pueblo's Water Use Efficiency Program continues to be developed and has <br />expanded in recent years to include public education elements. The plan includes <br />presentations and tours of the Water Treatment Plant for school children, <br />educational videos for public use and other special projects. <br /> <br />On the following pages are lists of programs and activities associated with Pueblo's <br />Water Use Efficiency Plan. These programs and activities identify Pueblo's water <br />use efficiency measures in the order suggested in House Bill 91-1154. <br /> <br />-4- <br />
