DISTRIBUTION - One purpose of the grant program is to encourage implementation of water efficiency projects throughout the state. The demographics and geographic characteristics of a project will be considered when making selections. APPLICABILITY - The proposed projects should be designed for possible duplication in other communities. PARTICIPATION - Applicants are encouraged to involve additional agencies or organizations as participants in the design or implementation of the proposed project if appropriate. PROJECT MANAGEMENT The proposed project must identify the name of the project supervisor. II. FIRST YEAR PROJECT ELIGffiILITY: Projects eligible for application may change from year to year. As suggested by the Board, a specific set of measures or categories should be selected each year. The Appendix in the enclosed document lists a number of the many possible water conservation measures. For the first grant cycle, I recommend that the following three categories be announced for project eligibility . 1. WATER CON$ERV ATION MEASURES FOR INDOOR PLUMBING; possible measures may include showerhead replacement, installation of new flushing devices, or toilet replacement. 2. WATER CONSERV ATIONMEASURES FOR PUBLIC OPEN SPACE; possible measures may include installing irrigation timing devices, implementing an irrigation management program or retrofitting old irrigation systems. 3. WATER DELIVERY SYSTEM/INFRASTRUCTURE ENHANCEMENTS; possible measures may include service line leak detection and repair, meter repairs, or pressure regulation. - The water conservation profession recognizes those three categories as having the greatest savings potential, and measures within these categories have been implemented throughout the country . Within each of the three recommended categories, there are many water conservation measures that would be applicable. By opening grant applications to these three categories, applicants will have flexibility to propose many innovative ideas.
