Data collection <br />on' water p~oduction and consumption has been a little slow due to purchasing delays <br />as well as kit construction. However, this information is 70% computerized, and can be <br />finished in very short order. The biggest problem so far has been in water kit distribution. <br />The kits were constructed (including consumer cover letter and survey) on time, but <br />getting households to come in before September was a bit of a problem. As Silt is a <br />bedroQm community, many households only'come.to'City'"Hall if'there 'is.a bill to payor <br />a sim!lar problem. Therefore we have seen a significant rise in kit distribution in the <br />first week of September, roughly 200% to 300% over the August workplan schedule. This <br />has led us to alter the distribution deadline to the end of September, as people get <br />their waterbills the first week of September and will come in contact with City Hall: <br />directly. Near the end of the month., hand deliveries of kits will take place to those <br />homes who have not yet received a kit. . <br /> <br />Publicity has not been a problem, so exposure to the project has been good. The town <br />newsletter has featured it every month and will continue to do so throughout the <br />duration of the project. The local papers have both kindly ran articles just prior to <br />the official kick-off in early August. <br /> <br />Even though the town is one month behind in water'consumption/production monitoring, <br />the extra month will be well worth the delay in terms of number of people participating <br />in the project. It is felt that 70 to 90% installation can be reached during the <br />month of September, and the remaining kits will be given to local businesses with <br />multiple fixtures as well as homes which would like an extra kit. <br /> <br />Overall, the Silt water project is moving along very well, and we anticipate good things <br />in the next year or two. The word is spreading around town that the kits are free via the <br />State of Colorado, and residents who have already installed are very pleased with the kit. <br />Total interim payment requested:J.~t. 5 95.00 <br /> <br />Prepared by: <br /> <br /> <br />Approved by: <br /> <br />John L.
