One option may be to change the rate structure, but there are many other <br />paths to successful water conservation. <br />e) If appropriate, they will cooperatively develop a simple work plan for the next few years, targeting a <br />couple areas where the city might focus efforts. <br />A. Regulation <br />Complete Table 29 by selecting which regulations are used to reduce demand and improve water <br />efficiencies. Add additional rows as needed. <br />Copies of adopted regulations or proposed restrictions or should be included in Appendix 10 (a list with <br />hyperlinks is acceptable). <br />Table 29.

Retrofitting Programs <br />Education and incentive programs aimed at replacing inefficient plumbing fixtures and appliances can <br />help reduce per capita water use, as well as energy costs. It is recommended that municipal water <br />suppliers develop a long-term plan to retrofit public buildings with water efficient plumbing fixtures and <br />appliances. Some water suppliers have developed partnerships with organizations having similar <br />40 <br />
