This paper discusses a water conservation program for businesses designed to encourage
commercial customers to reduce their water use by 15%. The program offers every
business in the service area the opportunity to participate, and
is planned to be fully implemented within ten years. The funding mechanism is a monthly
fee based on the customer's meter size. Every commercial customer pays into the program's
fund. Program elements include a toilet retrofit rebate, landscape rebate, high
efficiency washing machine rebate, a certification program, shared-cost water audits,
large-scale (process) retrofit rebate, and workshops and education programs. Several
of the elements, such as the toilet retrofit rebates, are being front-loaded
to encourage participation within the first five years. Includes 7 references, figures.
