<br />It .' <br /> <br />water consumption over the 5-6 year history (4 pre-audit years and 2 post-audit years) of <br />the property. The model has to address the optimal size of sample, random selection, and . <br />a control group. The model must take into account factors like precipitation (historical <br />ET), overall landscape changes (adding or subtracting ofIandscape size), and changes in <br />the actual landscape irrigation system. For the years prior to the audit a thorough analysis <br />of the local precipitation and relative humidity will need to be understood to best quantify <br />results. An additional variable is landscape size. If a homeowner has subtracted, or more <br />likely added landscaping, their outdoor water use will have changed. Change in <br />ownership/occupancy numbers of the property will also be taken into accounts. The <br />statistical model will have to address the potential for some ofthese variables. The CRC <br />will contact and interview each participant in the sample to address these variables as <br />well. <br /> <br />We expect to see savings similar to the Slow the Flow Save H20 Utah program (15%). <br />This information will be essential to expanding the program in the future as cities and <br />funders will have the evidence to back up their costlbenefit analysis for the program. The <br />CRC is contributing 50% in-kind the cost of this phase of the program. <br /> <br />Step 4- Final reporting of Pbase II - The final report will consist of an accounting of <br />the statistical model and outlining of the methodology and analytical process. This will <br />include sample size, control group, and historical ET models. The results and <br />accompanying graphsJtables will be included along with a detailed narrative outlining the <br />CRC's findings. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />At glance comparisons: <br /> <br />2004 Prol!ram <br />479 audits <br />5 cities <br />6 full-time staff <br />50% matcbing funds <br />contributed by <br />municipalities <br /> <br />2005 Prol!ram <br />1200 audits completed <br />7 cities <br />11 full-time staff. <br />55% matching funds <br />contributed by <br />municipalities <br /> <br />2006 Prol!ram predictions <br />Nearly 2000 audits completed <br />9 cities <br />17 full-time staff <br />Approximately balf of tbe 2006 <br />STF budget contributed by <br />municipalities <br /> <br />Slow the Flow Colorado Program Description <br /> <br />Work on the Slow the Flow program begins in January. Program goals, structure, and <br />logistics are outlined by CRC staff Proposals to targeted municipal staff are developed <br />and submitted and often requires presentations to staff members, city council <br />presentations, and meetings to discuss the program. Once a municipality expresses a <br />desire to partner in the program, contractual agreements are drafted and finalized. In the . <br />contracts, each community agrees to the procedures outlined by the Slow the Flow <br /> <br />6 <br />
