<br />reCipients. The BECC received an additional 7 surveys that were completed by brochure <br />recipients after the students' were finished with their portion of the project. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />The following infonnation is based on the responses from thel5 households out of the 50 high <br />water users that were sent the water conservation brochure. This is the breakdown of households <br />when CU students tried to contact them for survey infonnation: <br /> <br />IS responded to the survey <br />13 refused <br />3 children answered <br />II answering machines <br />7 no phone numbers were available <br />I no answer <br />50 Total <br /> <br />Following the attempts to survey recipients face-to-face, the BECC attempted to contact them by <br />phone. By the end of the semester, CU students had information for 25 households. Denise <br />Delgado from CU, who is also a BECC intern, got information on the remaining 25 households, <br />but was not successful in actually surveying anyone. She said that people were never home and <br />if they were, they were busy with holiday preparations and didn't want to take the time to answer <br />the survey. She said phone surveys were as difficult as face~to-face surveys in actually <br />succeeding in finding someone home. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />The following infonnation is based on a response of 15 households: <br /> <br />Nine remember receiving the brochure. <br />Six did not remember receiving it. <br />One interviewee said that her father may have received it and another stated that her husband <br />probably didn't show it to her. It is plausible that others in the "no" category were not the direct <br />recipients and that knowledge of the brochure reaching a household may not have been passed to <br />all other household members. <br /> <br />Of the 9 who received it, 8 read it and I skimmed through it. <br />Of the 8 who read it,S found the infonnation useful while 3 did not. <br /> <br />Reasons for each respective group are sited below: <br />Useful information in the brochure: <br />. talked about preserving water and ways to reduce usage <br />. infonnative, no commitment <br />. showed percentage of water usage <br /> <br />Not Useful: <br />. can't remember infonnation in brochure <br />. not very-effective. Needs to be coordinated with community appearance. The city doesn't <br />have landscape that is water-efficient, no rock gardens, no xeriscape. <br />. nothing he didn't already know, more helpful for "average" homeowner <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />7 <br />
