8.3. LONG-TERM WATER CONSERVATION
Eleven principal water conservation methods are delineated as part of the
proposed water conservation plan.
I. Education and Information
The most readily available and lowest cost method of promoting water
conservation is to inform water users about ways to save water inside of
homes and other buildings, in landscaping and lawn maintenance, and in
recreational uses. An effective education and information program can be
easily and inexpensively administered by the water system Manager.
Information can be distributed to water users as follows:
1.1. First-Year Program
• The initial year program includes the distribution of educational materials
including a fact sheet detailing water savings methods that can be practiced
by the individual water user;
• Distribution of a fact sheet explaining the Water Conservation program
and the elements of the emergency water demand management Plan;
• Activities scheduled for the "Long Term Program" is outlined and its
benefits are distributed.
1.2. Long Term Program
The Long Term Program consists of distribution of educational materials
semi-annually. Information distribution should correspond with peak
summer demand periods. Such material should incorporate information
available from the American Water Works Association (AWWA), the
TWDB, and other similar associations. Materials regarding water
conservation can be obtained from:
