TIle following is a tem:ative list of alternatives along vlith a short description of each. The structural alternatives are depicted in color on the attached map. NO Jl.CTION Under this cendition, none of the structural alterr,atives or other develop- ment measures would be implemented in the future, Conservation measures that I'lould be increasingly strL~gent and eventually severe would be required if populatioIl grol,rth continued. Major changes in lifestyle 'dould be required. CONSERV.I\TION The DHD 1 S Institutionalized v,Iater Conservation Progra,;", adopted 20 June 1979, addresses the follOl'Jing elements: 1. Public Information/Education Program 2. Retrofit Program 3. Plumbirg Code Regulations and Pro'risions 4. Leak Detection Program 5. Pressure Equalization Program Jlnalysis 6. Universal Metering 7. Fil tel' Plant \vater Measurement There are several levels at which conservation alternatives could be evaluated vmich ranGe from continuaticn of the existing program to something Irnch yields results as severe as the previously described "NO ACTION" altenlative. Some of the above items could be considered at the lesser end of the conservation effective- ness scale. Full implementation of universal metering may achieve siQ'lificant water savings. Rate structure manipulations, which are dependent upon implementa.- tion of universal metering, meW achieve even greater savings if vlater users ha.d to pay escala.ting rates. Charees in lifestyles would likely occur if substantial rate changes l'lere instituted.
