<br />The lack of response to the written survey was disappointing. The concept of incentives had <br />was considered in the planning phase, but was not implemented due to cost and distribution <br />issues. Either doing a verbal random survey (more expensive) on an occasional basis or <br />. providing a better means of interest generation and collection of responses could have <br />improved the feedback on user satisfaction with the devices. <br /> <br />Difficulty was encountered in collecting occupancy data. In some cases, the Ski Inn manager <br />did not have an accurate estimate of occupancy (e.g. six people were signed up but only five <br />actually stayed). Four units (two in each building) were owned and managed by people other <br />than the Ski Inn management. Of those, three responded positively when requested, with <br />Occupancy data. When occupancy data was lacking, an average number was used - the <br />average being based on the known occupancy data of other units. <br /> <br />The development of the model occurred without major problems, although solicited feedback <br />from outside the model committee was minimal (other than the third party). Additional <br />feedback could potentially have improved the model. <br /> <br />Although the model was developed specifically for the examining the short term rental <br />sector, it has the flexibility to be used by water and sanitation districts for planning water <br />conservation programs for other sectors, using some assumptions concerning differences in <br />water usage. <br /> <br />Although the workshop was fairly well publicized, there was little interest generated in <br />attending the workshop. The reason for this is not understood, and is especially puzzling <br />when considering the water limitations of some of the local communities (for example, the <br />Town of Avon in Eagle County has enacted outdoor watering restrictions this summer). <br /> <br />A poll of the water and sanitation districts in the region has been contemplated, but has not <br />been implemented due to time constraints. Because of the lack attendance at the workshop, <br />NWCCOG may pursue the scheduling of an additional workshop at some future time, <br />depending on interest and availability of staff time. <br /> <br />The brochure that was developed for allowing homeowners to examine the payback period <br />for installation of water conserving devices received positive feedback from local government <br />officials. It is anticipated that these brochures will be available to the public at town and <br />county building permit offices. It was suggested that the brochures be made available at <br />plumbing and hardware stores, however, funds for the additional duplication and distribution <br />of the brochure are not available. <br /> <br />nr\wpSl\cwcb\fDl_rpt <br /> <br />5 <br />
