<br />< <br /> <br />fl' <br /> <br />New Distributor Contracts <br /> <br />Denver Water's commitment to water conservation extends to its distributors. As stated <br />in the Resource Statement of Oct. 15, 1996, all retail distributors of Denver Water <br />agree by contract to promote water conservation as a condition of service. <br /> <br />For those distributors electing not to sign the contract with that provision, the Board <br />reserves the right to impose a tap allocation program and water use restrictions which <br />may be different than those for the City and County and signers of the new contract. <br /> <br />Summary <br /> <br />To provide for the water needs of people and the environment, we have to plan far into <br />the future. Denver Water's plan includes conservation, reuse and supply. <br /> <br />Denver Water has developed conservation strategies with the cooperation of the <br />Citizens Advisory Committee, other conservation professionals, and innovative leaders <br />in the private sector. We believe these strategies will achieve our goal of saving 29,000 <br />acre feet of water annually by 2045. In brief, they are: <br /> <br />· asking each customer group to conserve approximately the same percentage <br />of water by eliminating wastefulness and finding cost-effective ways to use <br />water rnore efficiently . <br />· providing information, education and training <br />· offering market incentives <br />· leading by example <br />· testing our assumptions <br />· evaluating our actions frequently <br />· having back-up strategies <br />· inviting our customers and distributors to be involved in the entire process. <br /> <br />However, we can't achieve these goals without the help of our customers, visitors ancL___ <br />------------anies. Because In the final analysis, programs don't save water; people do. The most <br />important part of conservation is everyone's participation in some way. <br /> <br /> <br />We don't GROW water <br /> <br />12 <br />
