The recommendations from the plan were summarized, including a goal of 20% residiential water use reducation by 2020, implementation of a high-efficiency toilet rebate, incorporation of a conservation rate structure (pending approval by the PSC), possible outdoor irrigation ordinance, and requiring an approved landscape plan in conjunction with new or major redevelopment.

| 9/23/2008 | SUSTAINABLE DESIGN AND ENERGY COMMITTEE | Gail Gawenda indicated that they gave a presentation at the July meeting and that she was available to answer questions.
Satya Rhodes Conway indicated that there are more goals at the back of the plan and that the handout available at the meeting does not have all the goals.
She further stated that she is really glad that the Water Utility did this plan. Her two issues are 1) 100,000s of gallons of water are used to flush the system and dumped into the storm sewers and this also happens when we dump reservoirs. She is hoping to use this water... to fill tankers or water lawns or something. 2) The WU needs to increase the frequency of billings. This will give more information to customers. However, this would require increase in technology. Satya is hoping that as we replace meters, that the WU replaces them with electronic meters so we can get to more frequently billing.
Bill Bremer moved to approve the plan and Cathy Mackin second the motion
