This powerpoint presentation begins by providing a brief overview of the
Metropolitan North Georgia Water Planning District Conservation Initiative. Conservation program considerations include:
select management practices that cost less to implement
than the next unit of water; focus on peak management to directly impact capital
deferment;
focus on programs that reduce or defer impending
infrastructure - reducing capital requirements reduces the
demand for revenue;
focus conservation initiatives in locations where impending
infrastructure is needed soonest; and,
include estimates for yearly consumption reductions and
program costs in the annual budgeting process. Financial effects of successful conservation are presented.
Immediate short-term effects include
reduced water usage results in declining revenues, and
potentially results in rate increases to cover debt and/or
satisfy cash flow needs.
Positive long-term effects include the following:
deferment of capital projects; reduced need for future water resources;
maximization of existing water resources; and,
demonstrated efficient use of resources - valuable
when applying for future allocations.
