5.0 Conservation Measures

Colorado House Bill 91-1154 , "The Water Conservation Act of 1991", requires that the
Little Thompson Water District consider, at a minimum, the following nine conservation
measures and address each of them in the District's Water Conservation Plan.

5.1 Water Efficient Fixtures and Appliances

5.1.1 Current L TWD Measures

The Little Thompson Water District currently does not require customers to use water
efficient fixtures and appliances within the District. The use of water efficient fixtures
and appliances are effectively required for .€!l! new construction due to the adoption of
uniform plumbing codes and building requirements by the various building permit
authorities within the District's boundaries. These requirements, by city and county,
are summarized in Table 5-1.

Since only low flow toilets are now manufactured in the United States, the issue of low
flow toilets for new construction has been addressed. Currently, none of the
municipalities listed in Table 5-1 require replacement items to be water efficient.
