The <br />methods range from being public sector role models to helping customers eliminate waste and <br />use water wisely. However, this plan will only succeed with the willing participation of all our <br />customers in reducing water waste and increasing water efficiency. The water conservation <br />strategies are arranged in the following categories: <br /> <br />. Denver Water facilities <br />. Government facilities <br />. Business and Institutions <br /> <br />. Residential: Single-Family <br />. Residential: Multifamily <br />. General Applicability <br /> <br />Selection of Strnteeies <br />Strategies and methods included in this Master Plan have met the following criteria: <br /> <br />" '".,"-'.:' . " . <br />Criteria:, " , <,"' ,,' , , ',::.' ' <br />L Can the nro~ram be imnlemented? Are the resources needed to implement the program <br />"available? Are there legal considerations which might affect the program? Does <br />responsibility for implementing the program fall within Denver Water's jurisdiction? <br />2. Is the orol'ram cost-effective in the lon~-terrn? Do the projected savings or benefits justify <br />the resources (money, staff. equipment) required to implement it when compared to other <br />options? Would another approach cost less or offer greater savings? ' <br />3. Is the success of the orO!<Tam measurable? Does it include some method for determining <br />"success or failure? If the program will not improve water use efficiency" can indirect <br />'savings be identified?,' ,,' " ",' <br />4. Will the oro~rllmreSult in- sustainable water savinl!s?

Does th~ prol!ram consider community water needs? 'Doesitrecogmze the necessary uses <br />of water? Does it emphasize reducing water waste and improving water use efficiency <br />, ,rather than dictating community needs and preferences as defined in the most current <br />''> Denver Comprehensive Plan? ' ' <br /> <br />These criteria may be amended or expanded in the future as necessary to make wise <br />decisions about water use in this community. <br /> <br />- 9 - <br />
