Clearly measures and programs that must be <br />considered for compliance with HB 91-1154 are among those most often mentioned in the plans. <br />Metering, required by HB 90-1106, is also identified in the majority of plans. Although many of <br />these measures and programs are consistently addressed in plans, it is difficult to know what <br />has actually been implemented (as indicated by the large number of "unclear" responses in <br />Table 2). It is also interesting to note that measures and programs are not consistently defined <br />among plans. With incentives, for example, some entities consider tiered rates to be an incentive <br />structure. Others with tiered rates consider they do not have incentives because they do not <br />offer rebates. Vocabulary is not standardized among plans. <br /> <br />Plan Elements: Evaluation and Implementation <br />Information on analysis and intended implementation of conservation measures and programs <br />was reviewed by analyzing the categories listed in Table 3. In this paper, "conservation <br />measures" are technologies or practices that directly increase water use efficiency such as water- <br />efficient appliances. "Conservation programs" are techniques for implementing measures such <br />as education programs. These and other definitions are contained in Appendix A, Table A-I. <br /> <br />5 <br />
