In addition to using housing stock information from Census 2000 (U.S. Census Bureau 2002),<br />

fixture replacement data received from wholesale customers and in-home fixture saturation<br />

survey information collected from Alameda County <strong>Water</strong> District and East Bay Municipal<br />

Utility District were used to approximate percentages of natural replacement of fixtures that<br />

occurred prior to 2001. These assumptions are listed in Table 3-10.<br />
