| Description | A Water Conservation Plan (WCP) is a plan for the development and utilization of a set of strategies. The WCP will provide both water suppliers and the local communities a means of using their water resources in a wise and prudent manner thus managing this precious exhaustible resource to its maximal responsible use. The WCP developed by the Tri-County Water Conservancy District, is the first effort in realizing a regional Water Conservation Plan in the Uncompahgre Valley. It is Tri-County’s hope that all water purveyors in the Uncompahgre Valley will either join in the water conservation effort or develop a similar Water Conservation Plan and join Tri-County in bringing water conservation into public awareness and practice.This WCP is intended to be broad and flexible so that it can be adapted to changing water conservation efforts over time. It is also Tri-County’s hope that through cooperation of all of the water purveyors in the Uncompahgre Valley that a regional water conservation effort will be realized. The ultimate goal of creating a water conservation effort is to provide unified water education and community outreach programs that will aid the public in developing meaningful water conservation practices.This project was funded through a grant provided by the Colorado Water Conservation Board, a division of the Department of Natural Resources in the State of Colorado. Tri-County Water Conservancy District provided oversight of the completion of this project and provided in kind service as a provision of the funding. Rebecca Nichols of RHN Water Resources Consultants, LLC acted as the project manager and the primary author of this document. Many people contributed to this project. Especially important to this project was the contribution that Mike Berry, the Manager, and Kathleen Margetts, the Assistant Manager of the Tri-County Water Conservancy District, made with their time and knowledge. Also important are the contributions that the different city and district water managers made to the project. |
