<br />G. PLAN OBJECTIVES <br /> <br />.:. To reduce water consumption from levels that would prevail without conservation efforts <br /> <br />.:. To reduce the loss and waste of water <br /> <br />.:. To improve efficiency in the use of water <br /> <br />.:. To implement a system to quantify the effects of the plan <br /> <br />In accordance with 30 TAC Chapter 288.2, the following five and ten year targets <br />have been established: <br /> <br />Five- year tarQet based on 5-year rollinQ annual averaQe <br /> <br />1) Reduce the per capita per day water usage* by 5 percent <br /> <br />2) Maintain a level of unaccounted for water loss at 12 percent or less <br /> <br />Ten- year tarQet based on 5 -year rollinQ annual averaQe <br /> <br />1) Reduce the per capita per day water usage* by an additional 5 percent <br /> <br />2) Achieve a level of unaccounted for water loss at 10 percent or less <br /> <br />* For the purpose of this plan, per capita water use has been equated to use per <br />connection. The number of connections is more accurate, more easily traceable <br />and does not rely on census information published infrequently. This allows for a <br />yearly tracking instrument with real-time data and results. <br /> <br />H. PLAN DESCRIPTION <br /> <br />Based on the evaluation of alternatives available to the La Porte Area Water <br />Authority for conserving water, the following elements have been selected as <br />those best suited to the needs of the Authority for water conservation: <br /> <br />Continuing Public Education and Information <br />Water conserving plumbing code for new construction <br />Retrofit programs <br />Water rate structures <br />Supply Management <br />Universal metering <br />Meter repair and replacement <br />Leak detection and repair <br />Recycling/reuse <br /> <br />8 <br />
