<br />RETROFIT PILOT PROJECT <br />Colorado Department of Natural Resources <br />and <br />City of Grand Junction <br /> <br />~FglI8Itl~1l.!jM <br /> <br />The Retrofit pilot Project, coordinated through the Water <br />Conservation Program, Department of Natural Resources, will be <br />Colorado's first official residential water efficiency pilot <br />project. Technical advice, project implementation and other <br />assistance will be provided from sources including Grand Junction, <br />Office of Energy Conservation, Denver Water Department, Colorado <br />Water Conservation Board, and area consultants. <br /> <br />The overall goal of the Residential Retrofit pilot Project is to <br />develop information regarding the economic impact of a retrofit <br />program and the water utility's return on program investment. This <br />project has been designed to accomplish the goal through the <br />following four objectives: <br />1. to determine changes in water and energy usage from a <br />residential plumbing fixture retrofit; <br />2. to determine the program cost effectiveness for both <br />residents and the Grand Junction water utility; <br />3. to determine long term water savings potential from <br />retrofit; <br />4. and to evaluate device acceptance levels from homeowners <br /> <br />Approximately 100 single family homes will participate in the <br />project. Homes will have all bathrooms retrofitted with a low-flow <br />showerhead and a water reducing toilet device. Water usage from a <br />sample of single family residences will be collected for 18 months <br />and the evaluated. Once complete the information will be shared <br />with communities and water utilities state and nationwide. <br />
