The specific reasons will be different for each

    10、 utility,and the appropriate level of conservation for a utility should be tailored to localneeds. This manual will show utilities how to customize a program to local needs.There is a broad array of reasons to pursue efficient water use. Some examplesfor consideration are included below:Cost savings

    11、lowering water production and/or distribution costs will savethe utility and its constituents money in reduced operation cost and possiblydeferred capital costs.

For example, protectionof endangered species often

Considerations

    18、 may include the following:4 WATER CONSERVATION PROGRAMSA PLANNING MANUALReduction of water use often requires utilities to modify their demand andrevenue forecasts, rates, and/or rate structures.Some utilities need assistance from specialists in water conservation toprovide specific expertise on ho

    19、w to implement conservation programs andproperly assess the benefits from such programs. Selling less water seemsunconventional.Many utility billing systems do not support customer sector water use dataneeds and analysis.In some locations, conservation can threaten the “use it or lose it” doctrineof

    20、 water law and water rights.This manual attempts to overcome many of these considerations and potentialdrawbacks to enable utilities to pursue new ways to meet the needs of customers orto improve existing methods.TEN STEPS TO DEVELOP A WATER CONSERVATION PLAN _To start a water conservation program,

    21、a water conservation plan should bedeveloped. The following ten basic steps outline the activities undertaken in a waterconservation planning effort to develop a cost-effective plan.*1. Review detailed demand forecast2. Review existing water system profile and descriptions of planned facilities3. Ev

    22、aluate the effectiveness of existing conservation measures4. Define conservation potential5. Identify conservation measures6. Determine feasible measures7. Perform benefitcost evaluations8. Select and package conservation measures9. Combine overall estimated savings10. Optimize demand forecastsRevie

    23、w demand forecast. A baseline forecast of the water use analyses andthe demographic (customer account or population) projections should be created. Theimpacts of current and selected additional conservation measures can be superim-posed on the baseline forecast.Review existing water system profile a

    24、nd descriptions of plannedwater supply facilities. As water demands increase, utilities need to maintaininformation necessary to develop and update a system profile from an inventory ofexisting resources and conditions. A review of this information is essential foraccurately targeting water conserva

    25、tion measures as appropriate emerging needs, forexample reductions in peak-day water use.Evaluate the effectiveness of existing conservation measures. If existingconservation measures are present in the water use analyses, the degree of currentand prospective conservation stemming from these measure

    26、s needs to be quantified.Some of this effect could be naturally occurring if it results from code requirements,*USEPA Water Conservation Planning Guidelines, EPA-832-D-98-001, August 1998INTRODUCTION 5for example, in the US Energy Policy Act of 1992, which requires that replacementfixtures and fitti

    27、ngs in new construction are the water-efficient types. Forecasts of theoverall water savings from naturally occurring conservation measures is about 5 to15 percent of total water needs by 2030 (Impact of the National Plumbing EfficiencyStandards on Water Infrastructure Investments California Urban W

    28、ater Conserva-tion Council, 2001).Define conservation potential. A detailed assessment of the indoor andoutdoor water use for existing and new customers is essential to determine theconservation potential. A comparison of the water use profile with AwwaRF studies,such as the Residential End Uses of

    29、Water Study (AwwaRF, 1999) and theCommercial and Institutional End Uses of Water Study (AwwaRF, 2001), should bemade to identify the potential for additional conservation.Identify water conservation measures. Even though many water conser-vation measures are transferable among locations, water conse

    30、rvation measuresshould be tailored on a case-by-case basis to develop the most effective program forlocal conditions within a given service area.Numerous water agencies around the world, particularly in the arid climates(for example the arid parts of the southwestUS), have been implementing watercon

    31、servation programs for well over 20 years.

    34、ONSERVATION PROGRAMSA PLANNING MANUALMost utilities that have not implemented a conservation program will want tolook first at the basic measures. After they have some experience, they can proceed tothe more advanced measures.Determine feasible measures. Not all conservation measures will be practi-

    35、cally, politically, or economically feasible for a given utility. For example, drought-tolerant landscaping is not suitable for some climates or some utilities; an incliningblock rate structure is not suitable for an unmetered area or where there is strongcustomer resistance; and capital-intensive r

    36、eclamation facilities will not provide aneconomic return in smaller communities. To complete the feasibility analysis, thenumber of accounts that could and would use each measure and the specific savingsover time that would accrue to its implementation must be determined. In addition,the existence o

    37、f legislative or institutional obstacles to implementation needs to beresearched. Estimates of market penetration are based on measure design andexperience from similar measures implemented by other water utilities.More than 100 individual conservation measures could be implemented amongthe resident

    38、ial, commercial, industrial, irrigation, agricultural, and public authorityaccounts in large metropolitan areas. The implementation of conservation programsusually includes customer education, sometimes financial assistance (toilet rebates),sometimes financial incentives (conservation rates), and so

    39、metimes legislation(plumbing codes for ULFT replacements). Measures can be qualitatively screened toa shortlist of the most promising measures. The short-listed measures can beevaluated for water savings, benefits, costs, and practicality.Perform benefitcost evaluations. If supply is critical, the b

    40、enefits ofconservation are virtually priceless: it is a matter of having enough water foressential indoor residential and commercial needs. Under less extreme circumstances,however, it is necessary to conduct a basic benefitcost analysis that relates the valueof water saved to the cost of implementi

    41、ng the program over a useful program life. Afrequent basis for valuing conservation programs is through the benefits associatedwith the delay, downsizing, or averting of new facilities. Some communities engage inmodest conservation efforts as part of public-spirited programs that link withecological

    42、 and environmental goals for a better world to live in. Benefits are oftenmeasured from the consumers point of view, usually in terms of less waterconsumption to pay for and less energy cost for heating water.Select and package conservation measures. Individual conservationmeasures should be package

    43、d into a comprehensive program for implementation. Thepackage will include that array of justifiable outdoor and indoor measures that meetthe payback criteria and will achieve needed and targeted results. This package mustalso be acceptable to the utility management and governing bodies to be includ

    44、ed inlong-range demand forecasts. A stakeholderpublic process should be used to confirmor guide the selection of the best package of measures.Combine overall estimated savings. Once an optimal mix of conservationmeasures has been determined, an overall estimate of program water savings can bedevelop

    45、ed with a cautious summation that avoids counting estimated water savingsfrom individual measures more than once (e.g., residential toilet leak water savingsand ULFT replacement). Also, an overall program implementation schedule for thepackage of measures is necessary to determine the timing of cons

    46、ervation effects onthe demand forecasts.Optimize demand forecast. The baseline demand forecast should be modi-fied for quantification of demand reductions and graphical comparison of the waterforecast with and without conservation. Modification of demand forecasts may bedone iteratively or simultane

    47、ously with different cost-effective packages of conserva-tion measures to meet desired conservation targets. By integrating anticipatedINTRODUCTION 7conservation, utilities can avoid rate revenue surprises. By integrating demand withthe rate forecasters, utilities should recognize that implementing

    48、water conservationis successful.DEVELOP A WORK PLAN _Responsibilities of the Water Conservation Program ManagerThe responsibilities of the water conservation program manager are, initially, todevelop the long-range efficiency plan and then organize and direct the variousmeasures that the recommended

    49、 program comprises. This begins with preparing awork plan that defines the schedule and budget for each task identified to implementthe plan. In a small utility, the manager will work part-time on water conservationand be responsible for carrying out most tasks. In larger utilities, managers will havethe option of assigning other staff to individual tasks while they coordinate theoverall program.Work PlanImplementation can be a long, slow process, similar to planning, designing, andbuilding capital
