PROGRAM EVALUATION
At the end of each year. beginning with 2003, the City will review the measures above to
determine the progress of each. A brief description of progress will be included in the City's
, annual report. Efforts will be made to quantify the success of each measure in tenus of what has
been acco,mplished. For example. we will try to enumerate areas .where xeriscape has been
established in new or existing public areas. This report will be made available for public review. I
Quantification of actual water savings per individual measure is more difficult to determine.
However. the City will assess those savings where possible. Where obtainable. the City will
publish this infonnation in its annual report as well. Total water consulI'ption records are easier
to quantify and will continue to be part of the City's Water Department management activities.
