<br />cooler, and the mountain environment typically precludes the <br />need for a turf grass lawn. <br />In short, the situation is very unique. A planning <br />tool for water demand management which is tailored to the <br />headwater resort communities is needed. <br /> <br />IV. Procedure <br /> <br />A useful tool for the resort communities to utilize in <br />developing water conservation plans requires the detailed <br />monitoring of water consumption in a relatively controlled <br />situation. It also includes enhancing our understanding of <br />water use habits by nonresidents. Finally, it requires a <br />user-friendly mechanism to compare water management options. <br />This tool would incorporate service area specific <br />information such as rates, population, alternate supplies, <br />secondary costs, and financial data on specific measures. <br />To accomplish this NWCCOG proposes the following: <br /> <br />1. Coordinate with a local municipality to identify <br />J !. ~,J' :f< sites to install new water efficient devices and meters <br />v.i," ft,;f.f'" and control group units.
