<br />ADDITIONAL PUBLIC COMMENTS <br />CWCB AGENDA ITEM 15h 11/23/99 <br />LEARNING TO BE WATERWISE <br /> <br />To the CWCB Members: <br /> <br />For the past three years, all Bureau of Reclamation offices in Colorado have supported the <br />National Energy Foundation's Learning to be WaterWise. It is an excellent hands-on program <br />which not only teaches a lifelong ethic of wise water and energy use, but also quantifies savings <br />(in dollars and volume of water) for the program sponsors. The Bureau of Reclamation hopes <br />that CWCB will join us in supporting this worthwhile program. <br /> <br />Dan Crabtree <br />Water Management Coordinator <br />Western Colorado Area Office, US Bureau of Reclamation <br /> <br />*.** <br /> <br />Dear CWCB Board Members, <br /> <br />I just re-read the report we received covering the Learning to be WaterWise program we ran <br />here in Denver, and I hope every community can have such a fine educational, water-saving <br />program. Please convey my strong support of this idea to those at the meeting of the Colorado <br />Water Conservation Board on Nov. 23. <br /> <br />Not only did students in our schools learn about water conservation, they became actively <br />involved in making conservation happen. Their personal involvement and the work they did with <br />their families will deliver benefits now and in the future. This kind of leveraging of our budget <br />dollars makes good sense/cents to our utility. I am particularly delighted to see retrofits in <br />homes where Denver Water's professional audit/retrofit team might never get to visit. I'm also <br />very pleased with the measured savings aspect of this program. <br /> <br />If anyone at the CWCB would like to discuss Denver's experience with Learning to be <br />WaterWise, I invite you to contact me directly. <br /> <br />Elizabeth V. Gardener <br />Manager of Water Conservation, Denver Water <br />Phone 30~28-6325 FAX 303-628-6349 <br /> <br />**** <br /> <br />We have used the Learning to be WaterWise program in conjunction with National Drinking <br />Water Week. I have found the program to be a highly effective tool in our water conservation <br />program. The concepts are easy to comprehend and the program provides a 'hands-on' <br />approach for the students outside of the classroom. The participation of the students and their <br />families has provided our District with a proactive approach to bring water conservation into our <br />customers' homes. From classroom visits I know that students and teachers LOVE the program! <br /> <br />Fred S. Haslee <br />Regulations Administrator <br />Eagle River Water and Sanitation District Vail, CO <br />
